Family Reunion Calendars

My grandma (right) looked forward to family reunions every summer.

Family Reunion Calendars make great mementos and can help you learn more about your family.  To make a calendar, collect 12 good recipes from extended family with the following information:  
Where did it come from?
How old is it?
Is it a tradition?  

Each month cook the recipe of the month.  Make extras as gifts!  Take pictures of your family with the completed recipe.  


I found this idea when our family visted The Alabama Department of Archives and History right next to the Alabama State Capitol.  If you ever visit Montgomery, AL this is one of my favorite haunts to visit--especially if you love state history and family history.
