This is a collection of the Kolesar family recipes in a black plastic comb binding. Please see the photo of the Table of Contents page for the food categories.
Some of these recipes sound pretty yummy! I may have to try the Taco Dip - I haven't had that layered dip in a long time! If you have a sweet tooth, "Mary's Cherry Cream Pie" sounds delish, or Snappy Turtle Cookies...
Good condition. The comb binding is still in good condition. There is a clear plastic protective page on the front and the back but there is a little damage to those at the bottom. The front cover has faded from the bright pink it once was. There are pink dividing pages between the food categories. There is some corner wear and small corner creases. The text is mostly clean, but I did note one "Very Good" notation on a pumpkin pie recipe.
