I was the 50s housewife today

I was in the kitchen pregnant, barefoot, and baking a pie from scratch. The irony is that I was also using a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from the 50s.

DH better not get used to this.

My Mom bought me one, but I remember it from when I was growing up. Not a huge fan of any of the recipes. However, go you for cooking a pie whilst pregnant!

My mom has a Betty Crocker cookbook from that era. My favorite part is where it says that you should take a few minutes for yourself. The picture shows her laying briefly on the kitchen floor with 2 minutes shown over her head and the mop in her hand.

I have that one too. The illustrations are funny.
