Everyone has a unique recipe or special meal that will brings them back to their childhood days. For me it is my grandmothers halibut dish. It was one of her specialties and she would serve it for our birthdays and at holiday time. We would request it often and look forward to the times she was able to prepare it for us.

Grandma's recipe

My grandmother was one of the most important people in my life and she taught me more than I have time to record here. Today I will share this treasured recipe with my readers. It seems fitting to end 2010 sharing my most precious recipe with all of you. My grandmother was kind and generous to everyone and she would have been very pleased indeed to think her recipe was reaching so many people.
