Betty Crocker


Just call me "Betty Crocker" or "Susie Homemaker". Since the theme this week is "words", I decided to take a picture of my old Betty Crocker cookbook. I got this as a wedding shower gift almost 27 years ago and you can tell by the worn edges and stained pages that it has been well used!

It was so cold outside this weekend, I decided to warm up the kitchen by baking some banana nut bread. This recipe reminds me of my grandma. She often baked fresh bread, cookies and the best pies ever! Yummo!

My mom has the same cookbook. She refuses to get a new one because she says that the new one just doesn't have the same recipes! Great photo. I love how you combined everything "cooking" related.
