call me Suzie Homemaker

In my foodie opinion, one of the best gifts anyone can receive is a good cookbook (preferably with pictures.)
This last weekend I went back to my humblest of cookbooks, Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook, for some inspiration. I received this classic checkered cookbook at one of my bridal showers a couple years ago from an aunt of mine. Every time I look through it I find something that inspires me to create a masterpiece (in my mind) from what I already have in my cupboards and fridge. This last weekend I made a home-made chicken pot pie for Saturday supper, French toast for Sunday breakfast & vegetable beef soup for Sunday supper! As usual every recipe had to be adapted a little bit to conform to my available ingredients but everything sure turned out delish if I do say so myself. Don't forget to go back to to the classics every once in awhile!
