My favorite cookbook is the Betty Crocker cookbook my mom gave me when I got married. It doesn’t have a cover anymore but I love it and won’t give it up!

I love the author’s sense of humor. This sounds terrific!

This sounds like a delicious recipe. Cutout cookies are the family favorite!

I’ve never tried buckwheat flour before. They sound really good.

I had no idea there was this much preparation behind sour dough bread. My appreciation for it has increased tenfold now!

1946?

This one sounds especially delicious! I’ve only had regular hot chocolate thus far. My mom used to have big steaming mugs of hot cocoa ready for us every single time after we went outside to play in the snow in the wintertime when we were kids.

Rich Risotto Rice Pudding by blueviolet on Feb 3, 2008 at 5:28 PM PST

This sounds sooooo good! I’ve never tried a rice pudding before. I’ve made a hot fudge pudding twice and that was as decadent and sinfully delicious as anything I’ve ever had.

I’ve never tried cottage pie or shepherd’s pie. This sounds like a true feel-good food.

I usually have chocolate in one form or another all the time at home. If it’s not candy, it will be ice cream or cookies.

I like to keep little pieces of chocolate around like kisses. I won’t eat as much if I have it in smaller portions.

I really like to have chocolate on hand all the time. You never know when you’ll need it!

I usually buy whatever chocolate looks good to me that day and if it all gets eaten, fine, if not, there’s more for the next day.

I remember on Sundays my mom would always cook a roast or something and she would set the oven timer to cook it while we were at church. Inevitably, it never worked and my dad would have to go buy a bucket of fried chicken and we would have that. I was always happy because I hated roast beef!

One of my favorite food memories is my after school snack. We were only allowed to have 2 cookies and a glass of milk but I couldn’t have appreciated those 2 cookies any more than I did.

I remember sitting at the table on Saturday nights with my younger sister and two younger brothers and my mom would give us each a plastic mug full of pop and a serving of pretzels and cheese puffs. We called the event pop, pretzels, and shapies and it was the best part of the week for us!

My favorite food memory was when my mom made something called Roman Supper. It was spaghetti, meat sauce, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese layered like lasagna is. It is such a feel good food for me.
