The Theology of Cookbooks


One of my favorite things to do when I have a leisure day is to browse through old cookbooks. I mentioned this in my porch post below and my thoughtful friend Scarlet handed me a stack of old cookbooks to look through while we waited for our dinner to cook on July 4th. This cookbook in particular caught my attention. It was Scarlet's mother-in-law's and happened to be chalked full of yummy vintage recipes.


Notice: using this cookbook will make your life better and richer. Their words, not mine.

Have you taken the Meal Planner's Creed? Raise your potholdered hand and repeat after me.


This scares me a little.....I hope my family's security rest in something other than my cooking!

We got a good chuckle about some of these and other things we found in the cookbooks, but their point was expressed many times over and over in the book: Meal planning, eating together and overall family health...whether physical, spiritual or emotional can be nurtured around the dinner table.

Good point.
