    My husband has allergies to lots of the preservative in bought mixes, how would I make a recipe for Devil’s food or Spice cake mixes?

    I love your cookbooks. I bought my granddaughter a few so that when she gets married next year after she graduates she will have recipes to cook.

      Thank you so much Patricia. I know the basic cookbook I got when I left home helped me more than I ever realized it would. I love giving a cookbook to kids leaving home or getting married. I have always thought one of the best wedding or graduation gifts is a cookbook, first aid book and handyman book. Most people don’t think of giving all those for gifts but they sure do come in handy.
