This is a November 1990 Betty Crocker booklet that was sold at the grocery store checkout (and also through subscription.) For this edition, they chose 50 recipes from the 1950 Picture Cookbook to highlight, and then 50 recipes from their more recent recipe booklets. I'm sharing the 1950 recipes here...let me know if you'd like to see the 1990 recipes, too. I'll have to add the last two pages in a comment because I hit my photo limit on this post. 😊

I like the way the editors used the font from the 1950 cookbook for the page titles, and also that little bit of vine artwork. A nice nod to the past. Also the vintage kitchen stuff in the photo spread at the start!

There are several editions of these little books and several other topics, too. I just grabbed the first two things out of my box of small Betty books. These are the 1976 editions, but they were first published in 1969.

I swear I remember my mom making my brother a giraffe cake when he turned two or three. That would have been 1977 or 78, so the timing is right!
