I really do like cooking, when you have the time, not feeling rushed and your not under a deadline. It's never a happy scene when you get in from work and you have a family of two glaring at a empty table, but glancing up at a bookcase filled with all kinds of cookbooks.
My family seems to think I should be a gourmet chief with all the cook books I buy, but I know there has to be others like me out in blogland, who simply love reading cook books! It is very relaxing!
I am aware that on all blogs, we all love it when there is a schedule of events planned for every day. It gives us something to look forward to, plus it gives us a stable feeling deep down inside, that our favorite blog will never run out of material to write about, because they have a subject planned for everyday! You must admit, I am right!
Welcome to Classic Recipe Monday,here at Frugal Southern Mom, (plus it will give me another opportunity to browse through all my beloved cookbooks). Let's give it some thought, could you pass up a .39 cent vintage cookbook at a thrift store? I doubt it!
This is a favorite one, (ok, there all favorites), It's called the 50th Anniversary Cookbook, it was put out by the Chelsea Church of God in 1984, .39 cents, a great bargain at the thrift store!
The recipes are simple and easy. Here is a selection of recipes for your enjoyment or to cook, but first, Thanks to the folks who worked so hard to put this cookbook out, Chelsea Church of God!
