NOTE: This recipe journal is an attempt to work my through my grandmother's extensive recipe collection. Below is what the original index card looks like which is why I'm trying to preserve those recipes worth keeping.

Last week's recipe was Chicken Pineapple Salad. Both these recipes are perfect on a hot summer afternoon with homemade lemonade.
