Welcome to Betty Melka’s Recipe website, a heartfelt tribute to a remarkable woman whose love and light touched everyone she knew. Betty, a devoted wife, sister, daughter, mother, and grandmother, lived life with an infectious energy and a fiery spirit that made her unforgettable. Her warmth extended beyond her family to all creatures great and small, with a special bond to her beloved cat, Cobby.

Betty’s family remembers her not only for the love she showered upon them but also for the traditions she so lovingly created. One of the most cherished memories is the large tin of beautiful Christmas cookies she made for each of her grandchildren every year. These cookies weren’t just treats—they were a symbol of Betty’s nurturing spirit, her joy in giving, and the way she brought people together around the table.

This website was created with the hope of sharing Betty’s beloved recipes, from her holiday cookies to the simple, comforting meals she prepared with so much love. It is our wish that these recipes inspire others to create their own traditions, continuing the legacy of warmth, love, and delicious food that Betty so graciously passed down. Through her recipes, Betty’s spirit will live on, filling kitchens with the same love and joy she brought to her family.
