"She" being the lovely Elenka at
Downeast Doing Stuff who wrote a
post today about her very first cookbook, which just happened to be the exact same one that was my first cookbook too.

I immediately went to find mine, that I remember my parents had bought me in 1964, the same year we moved to the midwest from Maine. When I opened it up, a little booklet fell out that I had all but forgotten about.
Thankfully, I've learned to spell a little better since then.

I know my Dad must have been the "chef" behind the recipes, as my little booklet contained 7 different ideas and this was so like what we used to have fun cooking up together.

As I began supper tonight, I thought about what I always loved about that Betty Crocker cookbook.

It was because it had lots of photos in color to show you what the food was supposed to look like.

No wonder I like taking pictures of what I cook! And a big thank you to Elenka who helped inspire my trip down memory lane.
