Welcome to Litsy!

Meatloaf a huge comfort food! My mom used Betty Crocker- her cooking Bible-but she also adapted recipes as she saw fit.This is just one of hers/ mine comfort foods. Also scallop potatoes, spaghetti & meatballs, chocolate chip blondie bars, hot fudge sauce,etc. rolling meatballs after school is a fond memory. #midwintersolace

My Betty Crocker cookbook is my go-to for common recipes. Both my mother and my grandmother always used it growing up. I used this recipe to make blueberry muffins with a couple of additions- 3/4 cup of blueberries, juice from half a lemon, lemon peel, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and I upped the 1/3 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup. (Without the added sugar, they are not sweet muffins.) #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021

Posting pictures of a few of my cookbooks. I know one of my Litsy friends asked if I could post a picture of the when I said I have a whole bookcase of them! If it was you let me know! Obviously I've had a "senior moment"!!??????

Made divinity this morning. It's one of my favourite things, but I had no idea what it was called until I stumbled across the recipe in my Big Red Betty Crocker cookbook. I made it for the first time last year and figured I'd give it another go, this time with a piping tip. It was a bit tough to manage, given how hot the mixture is, but I managed to make over 60 candies that don't look TOO messy. Hopefully they'll taste good, too!

I believe that everyone should own this cookbook. This book was given to me for the Christmas after I got married by my grandmother and it has helped me out on numerous occasions. I've learned how to make pie crust, Alfredo sauce, icing, and even spatzle. Seriously this is a great graduation, wedding, or spontaneous gift and your loved ones will thank you for it.

I was cleaning out the pantry and I found Grandma's vintage cookbooks. I was rifling through those while the canine thought he would take a nap behind some modern editions.
