Thank You Mrs. Johnson for that Betty Crocker Cookbook in Second Grade

by Michelle Carr Crowe, San Jose real estate agent

At the end of Second Grade, my teacher Mrs. Johnson gave me a gift. Now I wasn't expecting anything, but it was a fun surprise. I could tell it was likely a book. (Certainly appropriate as I had quite a bit of a problem with dyslexia in First Grade but with Mrs. Johnson's help made lots of improvement in Second Grade.)

Santa girl booksWhen I opened up the present, I was surprised to find out it was a Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls. Mrs. Johnson must have thought I was really growing up to be able to learn to cook!

It's a good thing, too, because the next year my mother got her real estate license and I did need to learn how to cook!

That Betty Crocker Cookbook holds recipes my family has now enjoyed for decades.

Two treats from that cookbook we love to make at Thanksgiving and Christmas are Peanut Butter Balls and Molasses Crinkles.

Tonight we made Molasses Crinkles and chilled the dough so we can make Molasses Crinkles to share for Thanksgiving.

Mrs. Johnson, thanks again for a great gift.

We too have 2 recipes out of a million year old Better Crocker cookbook (the one with the old tattered red and white checkerboard front) that we still use today at every Thanksgiving.

Oh did your post bring back a flood of memories!  Good ones!  Thanks so much.  My Mom bought it for me for a birthday present.   I still have it . . . somewhere.  In looking back, I'm so glad that it was for girls and boys . . . and not really gender specific to girls, i.e., cooking is the woman's work.  My son is great cook!!
This was the cover of mine.

Beautiful story, Michelle. That was a very special teacher and wise, also. She knew how to make a student feel important and herself remembered through the years :)
