These were my MIL’s, DH brought them home, both from 1963 so older than me. She had recipes marked and there are some taped to the inside of the covers. These will go to Hope when she’s older

We had the 1960s betty Crocker cook book when I was growing up. It has very good recipes!
 
They do wear you out. I think that for me part of it was the stress of responsibility when dealing with my grandkids. I guess there's a reason young people have kids.
I enjoy them, but I certainly have a lot less energy, with these younger ones, than I did with their, much older, cousins.

The big one on the right covers everything from appetizers to desserts. It was a gift from the mother of my teenage boyfriend...she shoved it in my hands and said "Take this, I know you don't know anything about cooking". She was right of course. The book lasted a lot longer than her son. :gig

I have a BC Mexican and Italian cookbooks too but they're packed away.

I have seen the one on the right before, someone I know has it but I can’t remember who.

I would wager you know a few things these days :) And what teenaged girl really knows a lot about cooking?
