Old Cookbooks Online

I ran across this great link on Miserly Moms to a bunch of old cookbooks that have been put up online for everyone to enjoy:  http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/index.html

If you haven't seen this already, it is really cool!  There is so much to explore - so far I have just been looking at The Frugal Housewife (1830!).  Miserly Moms suggested the old cookbooks to find good recipes for from scratch items.  I am slowly replacing what we normally buy from the store already prepared with a homemade version.  This weekend I was working on crackers - so far unsuccessful and not crisp, but I'm not giving up!

Thank you!

I love old cookbooks too! Thanks for the link! (Maybe crackers weren't as crispy back then as we've come to know them??)

Great idea. I have been doing some of the same lately. I have been pouring over my mothers old cookbooks and recipe cards and finding homemade recipes for everything! I am having so much fun! LOL
