flashback friday favorite ~ better homes & gardens cookbooks

this is a flashback friday favorite post from holiday time years back.. happy thanksgiving everybody! i have a lot to do in the kitchen today, but that's all because as a kid i loved to cook & bake, often using vintage recipes from books like these ~

the better homes & garden jr cook books from the 70's.. right off we have kids preparing hotdogs, always a staple in these vintage books ~

floats & shakes ~

hotdogs again ~

the kids always helped make homemade buttermilk pancakes from scratch at toxic's house, generation after generation ~

of course these books always had us putting hotdogs on our pizza back then.. yikes! ~

(hey, it's s*** on a shingle! as our dad used to call it.. lol) ~

sundaes, cookies & candy ~

on thanksgiving days of old toxic would always participate in food preparation alongside her mom, sisters, grandmother & great grandmother, those are great memories ~

toxic learned pie-baking from our great-grandmother ~

french toast ~

time to start thinking of christmas ~

more ice-cream! ~

not again! ~

our kitties love tday! i hope everyone enjoys the feast & makes some good memories today with family & friends..
