@brunchwithbabs: #AncestryPartner Family recipes are priceless treasures, and l'm opening my recipe box to share a beloved one with you - Italian Lemon Cookies 🍋💛 My mother always told me to preserve family recipes before it's too late. Did you know nearly half of Americans can't recreate family recipes because they have been lost or damaged over time? I'm partnering with @Ancestry this holiday to help keep these traditions alive for future generations. Upload your family's recipes now so they're preserved forever! It's never too late to start protecting those traditions. Head to Ancestry.com to upload your recipes and discover more about your family's past. I saw my father's military card and my grandmother's ship card from her journey as an Italian immigrant to the US!
