This is what I had on my chalk board in my kitchen during Christmas and really if I'm being truthful, I didn't erase it until today. The decorations were down but the chalk board still loadly proclaimed, "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas". The chalkboard on my kitchen basement door still had the "Mistletoe Cafe" on it too! I have a hard time erasing these because I put all that work in and then have to erase it every year. I did however, clean them off.
This Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook was a wedding gift back in 1973 and has been very much used and abused. I've used this recipe for pancakes so many times that the page falls out. One would think that after 45 years of making a recipe over and over, I'd have it memorized. So once I clean off the chalkboard, I usually revert back to putting this recipe back on the chalkboard. It's saves me from having to look this up every week. I have gone gluten free for over a year now so I added that to the recipe. I use Bob's Red Mill Cup For Cup Gluten Free Flour.
I also use this cookbook everytime I boil eggs. Ha! It's true! The recipes keeps the peeling from sticking to the eggs.
We had these this morning with bacon. Who loves bacon dipped in a little syrup?
I believe (without checking) that the apple dumpling recipe is on page 171! I SHOULD have the recipe memorized from making it so many times.
