Grandma Millie Miller

Food. Family. Traditions. One event I would look forward to every year was the Barnard Parade in Greece (Rochester) NY. If my memory serves me right, it was always the second Wednesday in July, right around my grandparent's birthdays. My mom is the youngest of six, and everyone would come to enjoy the parade, and more importantly, celebrate family. After the parade, we would meet up at my grandparent's house. Grandpa would have strung the Chinese lanterns in the back yard, set out the chairs and tables. Grandma would have been busy baking cakes and making sure there was plenty of ice cream for all of us grandchildren. The cousins would play ghost in the graveyard or bloody murder in the front yard leaving the adults to visit in the back. We all have family traditions and great childhood memories. The pictures below are of me with my grandma, Millie Miller. She was one of the three main bakers influencing my childhood. The picture shows what looks like a Boston Cream, but for all of you who love our German Chocolate Cake, that recipe comes from the recipe Grandma Miller used. The family is spread all over now days, and I look forward to getting together with family soon, as I miss them. Make time to create special moments with your family this summer! #paulaszzerts #family #traditions #cake #memories
