FAMILY RECIPES
THE FOOD
70 years of love, laughter & leftovers with Ruth & Leland
This website began at Christmas 1997. Greg asked his mother, Ruth, to write down the recipes he had grown up with. She went above and beyond, hand-writing the recipes, along with a dash of family stories, a heaping cup full of memories, her usual healthy serving of humor -- and a sprinkling of Bible verses.
Greg's family has used the cookbook often over the years (as you can see by the stains at the top of the cover picture). It has served us well. We thought putting it online and sharing with the rest of the family was a great way to celebrate Ruth and Leland's amazing 70 years together. So here is 70best.com. The best recipes (there are actually 70), the best years, the best family anyone could ask for.

Author's Note:
Many of the recipes and techniques in this book were taught to me by my mother, Floy Mahan Tindall, as I grew up on a farm in Arkansas. I’m thankful for my heritage and have enjoyed sharing a portion of it with you through this recipe / history book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed reminiscing while putting it together.
–Ruth Duncan, Christmas, 1997
