One of my very first cookbooks was “Betty Crocker’s New Cookbook” (Eighth Edition) I absolutely love it! I cook up more meals, desserts, side dishes from this book than I do with my “Joy of Cooking” cookbook. The recipes seem to be easier, and aren’t so time consuming.

My husband works odd hours and so has Tuesdays off, so we’d go visit my Dad and stay the night. For almost 2 years this was our [...]
