Macarons

I have found when talking to others people seem to either enjoy cooking, enjoy baking, or despise both.  Personally, I love baking, so I guess I lucked out to marry someone who enjoys cooking! 
Many of my family members also love to bake, including my dad.  Usually when I go back home, my dad and I will often bake one of my grandmas' recipes.  I love this tradition that we unintentionally created when I left for college and then on to married life.  It gives us a chance to talk and joke around, while also carrying on the tradition of creating my grandma's delicious recipes. This is especially important to me because when my grandma passed away I was a teenager and too young to realize that I should take the opportunity to glean as much information about these family traditions as I could from her while she was alive.
In away a piece of her still lives each time my dad and I make one of her recipes or when one of my family members shares one of her recipes with me.  Those are the moments and things I will treasure forever.
