Question: Do you have a favorite Baking Book?






Hi Christine! I don’t have a favorite baking book! But if I chose it would have to be the red and white checkered Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook!! It has everything! But i like the old version, not the new ones!

Haha. I am with you on that one! My mom passed down her 70s copy to me. And the cover is worn.. but is by far my fave!
BTW, that strawberry shorcake…looks divine!
