I still use my Mother’s Betty Crocket paperback cookbook. Just follow the directions and you’re all set.
I have my mother’s old, stained hard-cover, notebook-type Betty Crocker cookbook I believe from the late 50s - with her hand-written side notes, etc.
Still make the pumpkin chiffon pie for Thanksgiving (family just requested it) - and the blue cheese salad dressing my father loved.
Still holds up after all these years. My daughter is into “new-wave” cooking with odd ingredients and trendy flavors. I (and the rest of my family) find most of it inedible...
There’s a reason people still have those old Betty Crocker cookbooks....and still use them.
The Mrs uses quite a few from a Betty Crocker book herself. I’ve made a few things from the web site myself. Just plain, good cooking.
