Fran DeWine's Recipes

Fran and Mike DeWine have been married for over 42 years. They grew up together in Yellow Springs and now call Cedarville home. Fran's passion is her family. As a wife, mother of eight and grandmother of thirteen, she loves spending time with her children and grandchildren - especially around the kitchen table. She has always enjoyed preparing meals for the people she cares about most.

Over the years, she has collected and tried hundreds of recipes. In 1980, she started what has become a DeWine campaign tradition by publishing "Fran DeWine's Family Favorites" cookbook. These cookbooks - illustrated by her children and grandchildren - are full of recipes from family and friends and contain several recipes specifically for children to make.

Below are some of Fran's favorite recipes from past cookbooks, as well as some new ones from fellow Ohioans. Please check back often for updates and new recipes.
