Cooking.... Betty Style

When looking through my cupboard shelf, at my MANY cookbooks (that never get used very often). I came across one of my Mom's old cookbooks. I am sure it was given to her by her mother. I have briefly looked through it before, but I thought I would give it another look. Tucked away in the front and back covers are several recipes that my mom had cut out of the newspaper or a magazine; now all yellowed with age. I am so very grateful that I have this cookbook left from my mother, some of her recipes handwritten on the book itself; written in between the pages. I cherish each and every page as my memories of her are awakened just by seeing her handwriting again. I can still recall some of those delicious recipes that she made for us, and her enthusiasm when she found a new recipe she thought that we would all enjoy.

This Betty Crocker Cookbook is so cool and brings back such good memories, I have decided I am going to start making some of the recipes in it. I will try it on a weekly basis and if all goes well, I will be cooking 1950's style. (Bouffant hair-do and pearls..not included)

I can't wait to see what is on the menu for next week...... stay tuned!
