These recipes are some tasty family heirlooms

Dr. Douglas Kiburz believes food, recipes and family traditions are woven together like a fine antique tapestry, lacing years of stories together with fond memories of his youthful meals in De Witt, Neb.

 Kiburz, a local orthopaedic surgeon, is a cowboy poet, a reader with Spofest and a member of the Trail’s End Committee. He is also master storyteller in his own right, often bringing to life anecdotes of his youth spliced with memories of recipes found in his great grandmother’s family cookbook, “A Basketful of Fort Family Favorites.”
