Cookbook Friday - I'll show you My favorite CookBooks

You can see it on the end covered in duct tape

Hi y'all, it is Friday and I hope to share one of my Cookbooks every Friday for a few weeks.  As I said in the beginning have a I love of all Cookbooks,  I own a lot of Cookbooks.  I love to read Cookbooks.  I love to cook out of  a lot different Cookbooks, and I do have a FEW favorite Cookbooks.  Today you will see one of my favorites.  This is the one that started my love of Cookbooks.  It is not pretty because it is so old and used and it is held together by the silver duct tape.  

This was one of the first cookbooks I owned and it was the spring - summer of 1982 and I had 2 babies Dustin was 2 and Eric was 1.  Before I met David.
 
The Cookbook was the 1st Bell's Best, Telephone Pioneers of America Mississippi Chapter #36.  There are so many awesome recipes in this cookbook so I will just point out a few.  If you are ever in Mississippi and go to a bookstore and find one of these Yellow Bell's Best buy it!!!  It may also be on Amazon.  I have 4 of these cookbooks:  Bell's Best, Bell's Best 2, Bell's Best 3 and the Best of  the Best of Bell's Best.  You can see them all on my shelf.

Worn and Torn but loved!!  This Cookbook started my love of Cookbooks.
