More often than not, I buy the cookbooklets/cookbooks that I do because I love the cover or the images inside. Sometimes there aren't even any blogworthy recipes inside, but instead, tips on various things: garnishes, how to be a good host/hostess, etc. However, I can't help but share some of these covers with you, even though they have no recipes to offer.

For variety, add one of the seasonings below to make meatballs more flavorful. They're delicious hot or cold — wonderful in a lunch box or for a picnic. Just pack the still frozen meatballs and they'll keep safely a few hours and be thawed just right for lunch. Or you can warm them and use as appetizers (no need for a dip) or as the meat for a meal.Seasoning Variations• 1 to 3 teaspoons curry

In addition to my numerous cookbooks and cook booklets, my recipe collection consists of hundreds of recipe clipping from misc. sources (newspapers, magazines, even labels). I discovered this recipe about a year ago, on the side of a can of Del Monte spaghetti sauce (my personal favorite: Green Pepper & Mushrooms), and it was such a hit recently, I thought I'd share it with you.

Just a quick update to apologize for not having a new recipe today (or last Friday). I've been serving on jury duty and haven't had time to create new posts lately. Things should be wrapping up soon though, so in the meantime, feel free to check out the archives. I hope to be back on track soon. I appreciate your patience.

Be careful in your selection; do not choose too young, and take only such as have been reared in good, moral atmosphere. Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, while others keep them in hot water. This only makes them sour, hard and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience, well-sweetened with smiles and flavored with kisses to

I have an old cookbook that unfortunately does not have a print date on it. Personally, judging from all the various ads inside, I'd guesstimate it to be printed around the late 40's early 50's. It's a collection of recipes by the Dorcas Circle, Women's Society of Christian Service of the Trinity Methodist Church of Highland Park, Michigan.

Over the weekend I picked up a great little cook booklet released by the folks at General Mills, circa 1934. A mere 49¢! Let's hear it for thrift stores! Anyway, the booklet contains some laughably cheesy endorsements for bread (The title of the booklet is 109 Smart New Ways to Serve Bread) by some of the big stars in Hollywood at the time.
