]]> My Grandma Grimshaw passed away a few years ago and I recently reached out to my aunt who has all of her belongings. I asked my aunt if my Grandma had any recipes because I watched my Grandma cook growing up. She said she has lots of recipe cards and cook books. She said I could have them and now I’m going to be sharing them with all of you. She had hundreds of recipe cards all hand written.

Sous vide is my new favorite way to cook! Wow this sous vide cheesecake recipe awesome! Texture was perfect and had a great taste. You can top these with any fruit or ice cream topping. If you interested in getting a sous vide you can buy one here. I have the Anova 800 which is bluetooth. It works perfect and I highly recommend it. They do have a wifi version which allows you to monitor you cooking time when not at home but I really haven’t seen a need. Its still new so ill let you all know if anything comes up. It does work with most pots.
