What a neat idea. More people should do this on their gravestone.
That is what I'm planning now
Same. Never knew people can potentially do this
she's smart...
Ppl don’t select headstones to be « neat »
Sounds like a good idea. Usually when immediate family pass no one will visit your grave or remember you. Do this and people will come to remember your name and visit you all the time.
This is so beautiful! I’m sure the passed loved ones would be honored their beloved recipe lives on. And so a little part of them does too!
Hello, I'm General James Charles McConville from. Quincy, Massachusetts, United States, I'm presently in Ukraine helping with Heavy war machines, weapons, Are you from the states?🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Among their "last" and "lasting" acts of generosity. Heartwarming!
@@RA12121 I'm here only at my free time. It will be a honor to chat with you privately do you mind ? Where are you from beautiful angel
@@RA12121 Seems like you have an admirer who would like to send you millions of dollars but you only have to send his passage home.🤣
@@annhans3535 Because I am such a beautiful angel :P hahaha, thanks for watching out for me, kindly soul!
Just came back from my brother in law's celebration of life. He was a chef. We all received cards with a vanilla bean in a baggie and his own recipe for vanilla panna cotta. Brilliant idea!
I am sorry for your loss and hope you are doing okay. Also, what a great idea to share his recipe- I hope that brings you joy many smiles down the line.
@@carolinepersons4260 Thank-you. He died 2 years ago but because of the Pandemic the family couldn't do the post-funeral Italian banquet that they would have normally done.
Just keep making the food he used to make so you can remember him when he was alive.
Do you have the recipe for the cookies
This is absolutely wonderful. All of the recipes she collects should be compiled into a cookbook. I know I'm interested in buying at least a few copies.
That’s a fantastic idea. I would totally love to have a cookbook full of different grandmas’ most loved recipes.
"Recipes to die for"
Proceeds split with the living families, of course...
@@CoolVictor2002 "Legacy Recipes" would be a better title.
@@CoolVictor2002 😂
It feels good to leave something to share with others. It's a legacy
Not a legacy when literally everyone can make those cookies.
Yeah, those are super generic recipes you can find anywhere
^^ Yeah, but she’s only making them because they were left on a gravestone she found. I think it’s really cool
@@manderly109 ❤️
@@crystanick2697 you clearly missed the entire point. 🤦🏾♀️
It's a wonderful tribute to these departed souls. Adventurous, too, because that first recipe didn't have baking instructions, just the recipe, so you'd have to guesstimate the cooking time and temp.
Based on your comment anyone can tell you are an awful cook!
It’s cookies, so 325-350 for 10-12 minutes is always a safe start. Lol
Spritz cookies are pretty well known so I’m sure you could find a recipe online to help with the cooking time
I literally didn't even know that gravestones had recipes sometimes
@@generaljameschiefarmysstaf2717 oh ya? Where in Quincy?
Don’t fall for it. Sounds like a scammer
@@carolferguson I just report him. Definitely a general from Nigeria.
@@slonecznikdoniczkowy yes. Ha ha
@@gringa978 Thanks. I'm here only at my free time. It will be a honor to chat with you privately do you mind ?
I'm not much of a cook, so my headstone will have the phone number for pizza delivery
Says MC Pierogi 😂
What a fantastic idea, love it!That made me want to have an African tale on my grave, since telling African tales is what I do 😃
What a wonderful idea. You could totally do that!!!
I kinda wanna put a recipe on mine that actually just tastes disgusting just to troll someone. Hopefully they'd get a laugh out of it too 😂
And put "Sorry, I just troll you, have a nice day!" In the back of the gravestone in tiny size font
@@rara.raaaaa *chefs kiss* what a wonderfully devious idea*
It’s giving Yukihira from food wars. 🤣
It wont work cause some pipo put their own twist to the reciep😂😂😂😂
Make the first letters of all ingredients spell out R I C K R O L L
Wow even after death, they are still giving and making even strangers happy. What a way to be remembered fondly. 👍😌
At first this sounds bizarre but with thinking about it, it keeps the person alive through a recipe. Bravo!
Yes and maybe more care will be shown to the gravestones too. Many gravestones are allowed to sink and fall over in cemeteries in the US
That's my mom's spritz cookie recipe!! She'd been making them for Christmas since the 50s when she found it in a magazine. Now it's my recipe and passed to my DDILs.
I was watching Good Morning America when I saw your Mothers' recipe. I will give it a try myself. Your mother was a wonderful person for sharing her recipe. God Bless her.
I wish my great grandmother shared her peanut brittle recipe before she passed because it was the best I’ve ever had. Holidays everyone would wait for her to bring it out & it would be eaten within minutes.
Post it 😌
@@Jackson_2329 I'm p sure OP doesn't know the recipe.
This onetime- Same with my great grandmother’s poppy seed loaf. The recipe was in her head, so was lost.
But I loved that loaf so much. She made it for every Christmas, putting out platters of it sliced. Except for me. For me she’d hide 2 loafs and give them to me on the sly 😉. That was 45 years ago.
So last year, missing her loaf, I decided to recreate it. With 5 recipes from the internet , I made 5 loafs. Then chose the 1 that was closest. 5 more loafs later I had tweaked that 1 recipe enough that I had grandmas poppy bread. Even other family members were incredulous asking how I’d gotten ahold of great-grandmas recipe.
@@dericksmith2137 glad you was able to recreate it
Those recipes are absolutely to die for!
I Thank God for this surprise joy. All should use these recipes! They are gifts to the world and you honor them by doing that! So I thank you for this too, it is honorable.
Grandma’s still giving us kids (my 80 yr old neighbor calls my wife and I kids, we’re 41, 42 respectfully) some treats from the grave!🫶🏾
There is a carrot cake recipe in the Ferndale Cemetery in Northern California and Mrs. Christine Mitchell isn't dead, it's just ready for her when she's done cooking. Richard Mitchell, her husband already has his spot next to her, but no recipes. Ferndale is a Victorian Village and beautiful. I have a photo of both.
Wonderful!!! I do Paranormal Investigations and Love to read the sayings/information on the headstones. That information there is for the living to read and learn from it or learn about the person who provided it.
I think it is a honour to follow and try the recipes that these people left for us.
Such a Great way to pay a tribute to that person!!!
What a charming posthumous gift to anyone who visits them.
I’m now going to leave my recipe for an Old Fashion. You do food; I do drinks.
My applesauce cake is what my family ask me to bring. I never share the recipe because if they found out it was vegan they would implode. I made this recipe up out of necessity. I wanted cake and all I had on had was applesauce sugar flour and oil. NO eggs no butter and no money to buy it at the time. I've even adapted the recipe to make a chocolate cake. I must have this recipe handed out to everyone when I die.
May I have the recipe for your chocolate cake please? Butter is so expensive in my country so this would be such a wonderful thing to try. Thank you!
I'm sure they'd understand if you explained to them why you're recipes are vegan.
As a vegan who can't bake to save her life, I'd love the recipe. Some things are just vegan by nature.. like fruit. I'll never understand why people are against food that's not got animal in it. 🤦
That’s what day of the death is in Mexico. Before it got really commercialized it was all about remembering the death but also have conversations about the topic of death without being scary or gloomy. In the 90s i would go to the cemetery with my whole family on November 1st and we would all talk, have a picnic at the cemetery remembering the ones who left, and having a great time.
I wonder if any of the recipes call for “ ghost peppers” 🤷🏽♀️
This is awesome, this is like honoring that person that is dead. Also you get to try new food.
What a wonderful way to remember someone.
Really beautiful tribute 💚🕊💚
"They took the recipe to the grave." Absolutely adorable.
I'm glad someone is making content in a cemetary that isn't deplorable and overall just disrespectful.
It's actually the opposite by carrying the legacy of the food. Makes me happy. :)
This is so uplifting and inspiring ! Thank you for sharing this ! If a recipe is so good that the family puts it on your gravestone it's got to be good. Please share every last one you find !!! Thanks again !!
That IS a good morning, America! I love this!
This is sweet , I bet you they are so grateful in heaven to see you do this ❤
imagine they watches her in spirit smiling happily while she's making the job stuff
What an honorable way to celebrate their favorite recipes. It's quite the privilege.
This is kinda cool and touching. Even beyond the grave people will still enjoy their cooking
Didn't even know that was a thing. I like it. Kinda puts a smile on faces that walk by....a nice little "hello!" From heaven.
WOW, how kool, I just found my grandma’s cook book, she’s been gone since 98, I treasure it, an spritz was one of her all time greats
I saw a story once and everyone wanted a certain recipe and were always told "over my dead body". So after she passed they found the recipe and had it on her gravestone..over her dead body. It was done in a sweet way though...
OMG I get it now 😂
TOP COMMENT
100% TRUE
"You can have the recipe when I die, I'm taking ut to my grave" very literally. Alot of women keep the secret recipe and never tells anyone and then pass on and never told anyone. Then sadly the recipe is lost. Love this!
this hits so close to home. in the earlier 2000s my grandma unfortunately passed, and we revisited her grave again a month ago (for maybe the 12th time?) and it was so mossy and awful. no one had cleaned, cleared or done anything to keep it nice. nope. it had been a month and a half since going there, and it looked heart shattering. we will probably clear it up next time my family heads down, also i think writing other sorts of things on ur grave like quotes and such is a fantastic idea, my grandma’s had something special on it i remember, not quite exactly, but it was something she cherished written down. rip grandma, i never managed to meet u. 63 might not be the oldest, but it’s good enough as i can’t count to it without screwing up.
Wow I love this I'm a chef and this is amazing how do you even find these
For as long as people are remembered, they are still alive!
What a great tribute to those ladies of the past who loved their families dearly!💖
That’s such a sweet idea. That way your friends and relatives can always be able to cook the dish that reminds them of you 🥲🥲🥲
I actually love this. It’s like their gravestone recipe didn’t go to waste and was noticed and was actually used. I’m wanting to taste the food. Now I’m here wondering could the person who died really cook 👩🍳 👨🍳 hmmm 🤔 lol 😂
I kind of like the idea of the love and passion of food, it’s a “you have to try this!!” Even from beyond.
This is wonderful! I love it! Why not pass on a recipe for someone who's passed on?
This is actually really neat but I don't want to be buried I want my body to basically be buried underneath a tree sapling so that my body will feed it and I become a tree so my kids can hug me when I'm not in the world anymore but that doesn't mean I can't have a headstone next to the tree with my famous lasagna recipe on it
Those cookies are to die for!
New meaning of taking a recipe to their graves 😂
Great follow through on an idea that may have remained just that. Bravo!!
I always tell people, If u want peace go to a grave yard.....
That’s actually wholesome
Nothing compares to an old school spritz cookie❤️
I love this idea. I want to be buried under a pumpkin donut recipe 😋

"Gramma? Can you tell my your cookie recipe?"
"Over my dead body! But I'll make them for you, sweetheart"
They really took their famous recipes to the grave!! I love that
This puts a whole new spin to the saying they took their recipes to the grave! 🤣
I don't want flowers on my headstone. I love to bake so I want my KitchenAid mixer on one corner. I think what you're doing is fantastic and you're paying tribute to them. Maybe you should compile a cookbook. I'd be interested in buying one.
Yeah, I know people will say "you're taking from the dead" BUT she's actually keeping their legacy alive
That’s so cool that recipe gravestones exist! Perhaps I should consider that idea when it’s my time to become a tree. :)
Taking the recipe to the grave has another meaning now.
That's crazy cool. I'm just wondering of all the times I've hung out in graveyards I've never seen a recipe on a tombstone.
Hi
I wanted this at one point on my gravestone, God Bless her I would do this too. I hope she finds the carrot cake recipe, I think there's one in England or outside like these.
People here in our country always often leave actual foods when visiting graves. I honestly thought, the woman grabbed those foods from graves to make a dish 😭😭
I think this is so sweet..
I so love anything BAKED, that's what I'm gonna be when I die.
Genius !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Giving back after death. Epic 💪
The recipes are to die for 😀😭😭
But seriously, they look so dang good 🤤
What can I say, the food is to DIE for.😂😂😂😂
Well I’d have to leave a cookbook on my tombstone because I have too many good recipes to just choose one!
This is really wholesome
It puts a new meaning to “I’ll take it to my grave” recipe
Honestly I love the idea of immortalizing some of my wife’s recipes. (Um that sounded ghoulish, my wife is still alive 😂)
But the thing is, cooking and baking is what we do. After 30 years of marriage we each have different interests. She likes people/I don’t. She enjoys hiking/I don’t. But we do enjoy fishing together. We enjoy our vacations to Cuba - we are actually going again on dec 7 😎. (I even managed to get her to enjoy swimming. Snorkeling is a huge hit with her.) but mostly we enjoy our time together in the kitchen.
She was the cook, and I was the baker. But over the years we each now share with both. I must admit tho, I’m OCD, so everything must be just so and clean. So I’m her sous chef. Plus we are both short people (so I show off by reaching the high items😉).
We have written a pair of matching cook books for our sons to claim when 1 of us is gone. It’s all my various cookie recipes. My wife’s pie & tart recipes. Our soups and stews. My meatloaf. My poppyseed loaf. Etc. Along with some basics like how to cook a roast beef, chicken, turkey, or pork. How I cook down my tomatoes to make my tomato sauce which is the base for spaghetti sauce and others. And my wife’s pasta noodle recipe (a must for our lasagna). All the various breads and my wife’s bannock.
Then there’s a page dedicated to my cocktails/drinks recipes. I’ve perfected Long Island tea, tequila sunrise, coquito, and mojito. With a few others.
But anyways thanks for the wonderful lasting idea.
Haha that's awesome, would love a cookbook like that for myself but would never have had the time to make, because work, i would definitely buy one if you were to ever make more of them.
This is so cool!!
My headstone will have a QR code to all my social media accounts so you can see me 😂 I love visiting graveyards too, I always try to find the oldest.
hahahaha you geniussss 😆
I think this is really cool!! I'm going to try the fudge recipe ☺️
This is NEW To me !!!! Wow wow and wow , I need to visit the cemetery.
Goodmorning! I am watching this on an empty stomach right before 7:30 AM.
I think it's a beautiful way to honor the dead, I bet they would have wanted you to use the recipe otherwise they wouldn't have put it there❤
I would buy a book of gravestone recipes. It would be neat if you’re into morbid things.
I love the idea of a recipe on a headstone.
What a great idea!
Ok now I want a recipe on my gravestone :D this is so cool.
I always tell my mom to put my pumpkin cookie recipe on my gravestone!! I hope someday many people get to recreate what i used to make the way i made it, and share it with others 😊 they’re so yummy
LOVELY! 💗
My mother in law made the best sugar cookies. Wish I had her recipe
When grandma says she'll share her secret recipe "over her dead body"... and actually keeps her word.
these recipes keep another part of the deceased alive (apart from their families and other legacies)
there are recipes that remind me of special people I love this idea,
I love spritz cookies!! I was raised by my grandmother, and when I was young, we made spritz cookies at Christmas time.
Love these!! I’d put my pie crust recipe on mine 😊
What a great idea ! This guarantees that people will visit you and remember you for your memories. 🤗🤗❤️🤗🤗
When they say they're going to take the recipe to their grave, they actually meant it lolololol but whyyyy
I never heard of such a thing!?! It's at least initially baffling.
How-nice! 🥰
That so amazing
My father was a baker. This made my night as I bake a 3 leches cake.
These Recipes Come From Love & Family Gatherings. These Departed People Would Want You To Try It & Enjoy Their Food. A Lot Of Old Fashioned Recipes Are Being Lost. This Is A Good Idea To Preserve Recipes, ALL Women Enjoy Being Known For Being A Good Cook; But Men Could Do It Too.
That's a great idea! I'd put my funeral potatoes on mine and I wouldn't leave out any details. Unlike my mother in law, she always leaves an important ingredient out on purpose.
