Mom's Cookbook

When I think of my mom cooking, I always think of this cookbook. Growing up as a kid I always remember my mom using this cookbook on Sunday to bake a 2 -egg cake. She had these bowls that she used there were four of them, a large yellow bowl, then there were smaller sizes in green, red and blue. What lovely memories of my mom in an apron and digging this cookbook out to make her wonderful food. When I got married I tried to convince my mom to give me her cookbook Haha, but that didn't happen. My sister and mom found a cookbook like hers and surprised me with it!! It's funny how we change, I don't think my mom uses it that much anymore and I really don't either. Once and awhile, but mostly I make a cup of tea and sit down and browse through the recipes, what wonderful memories are in between those pages!!!!
