Actually, more like a gift. My sister helped an elderly friend pack up her house so she could move closer to her family. Betty gave my sister lots of little trinkets and what not and since I cook, my sister gave me Betty's personal recipe stash. I've been looking through all the ''lost'' recipes and it's amazing how foods have changed since Betty put these books together. Probably when her kids were little. LOL
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!
If the cover didn't give it away, these are all from the 1970's
In a small, small town, in the olden days, they actually posted your name AND address with your recipe.
Can't do that now, too many weirdos out there.
Faces to go with the recipe
Hand written changes sprinkled throughout the books
She liked her some "par-tay" desserts!!
Some are from newspaper clippings, magazines and the back of flour bags
Some are typed.....love this...Aggression Cookies LOL
Political recipes
Some had yummy pictures
Enough recipes to last a month of Sundays..............literally!! LOL
I will post a recipe every now and then and let ya'll know how it tastes.
If there is a lost recipe from the bygone era of cb's, truckin', and bellbottoms, ask me and I'll see if it's in here, you just never know!
