In Loving Memory of Naomi Ruth Rothrock: Corn Pudding

This blog is dedicated to our great grandmother. Naomi "Ruth" Rothrock was born October 12th, 1914 and lived a very long and full life. Mother of 4, foster mother of 2, grand mother, great-grand mother and great-great grandmother to many, Grandma Ruth's home was always full of family, love, and the smell of wonderful food every Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. While the family tradition continues, we thought that the family would enjoy having her recipes available whenever they wished. Grandma was always gracious of heart and we figured she wouldn't mind if others stumbled onto these recipes and incorporated them into their own family traditions. The recipes are scanned so that you can get that feeling of being in grandma's kitchen. If you can't read or understand some of the pictures, let us know which ones and we will add a written description with the picture. Just remember, the secret to all of these recipes is LOVE.

Note: Oleo is an ingredient in a lot of these recipes. It just means margarine, butter, or vegetable shortening.
