Welcome to simply old thyme recipes! My culinary adventure began several years ago when my wife and I had moved into a house that was owned by my family. It was being used for storage of my grandparents furniture and things after they had passed away. I always loved to bake, and one day I decided I wanted to conquer the task of baking the best pumpkin pie. So I started looking through some old recipe books of my grandmothers and realized there was an unbelievable amount of recipes! They were not organized in the slightest. I kept discovering recipes that I had never heard of before, all the while working on a recipe for pumpkin pie, which, by the way I did eventually figure out. I even came up with my own pumpkin spice blend after many, many attempts . Ever since that day of discovering the plethora of family recipes, I have been passionately making these recipes from the past. Taking the older generations recipes and making changes to adapt them to todays generation. I always try to keep true to the original recipe but also find ways to make them my own. I truly hope you will come along with me on this adventure through these recipes and try some out for yourself. I will share stories along the way about my family and the stories behind the recipes themselves. Some are doozies!! I hope to share a piece of my heritage with you through this blog which may inspire you to look at your family recipes in a new light. I’m also planning on sharing some of my own recipes that I have created with inspiration from family and life experiences.
