I had to smile when you said this recipe had vingar in it… my mother-in-law always said to “put a little vinegar in your bean soup to help take the snapper effect out”!

I have to second the Better Homes and Garden cookbook. I’ve got about two dozen books, but this one is my “go to”. LOVE IT!

I don’t actually cook, but one day…..I plan to. I’ve collected what I think are “tried and true” from coworkers, friends, newspaper, etc. and they are stuffed in a gallon ziplock bag. I just ordered two cookbooks which is insane in itself since I don’t cook (PW’s and Tasha Tudor’s for the illustrations), and now I’m getting all these ads about attending gourmet cooking classes….

I have a ton of cookbooks, but the one I use most is just the basic Better Homes and Gardens cookbook with the red and white checked cover (although I swear my old one was a Betty Crocker cookbook). My mom bought me one when I was about 18. I wore it out and recently bought another. It’s very basic and I recommend to all beginning cooks. And you can’t beat a church cookbook for really good, down home recipes.

Forgot to say that I took all of my ‘holiday’ recipes and made 4×6 cards out of them which I had printed like photos. Then I put them in those cheap photo books to pass on to my kids.

Your cheesy biscuits were a big hit around here, so I’m trusting your ‘brown envelope’! Besides it sounds yummy. Onto this week’s menu plan! Thanks for sharing. It’s so much fun to find a good new recipe.

My recipes are in a binder. I tape them to pieces of regular paper and stick them in a plastic sheet protector (that way they are easy to clean off if my four-year-old gets happy while he’s stirring:)

Bean soup is a favorite — we used canned pinto beans this week. Mighty tasty! Never thought about using baked beans, though. Sounds yumm-o.
