But today I was led here in a google search for my mom's apple fritters, which she says came from the old red and white BHG cookbook. The new pink version does not have the recipe (shame!), but maybe someone has that veteran cookbook? It featured chopped apples, not rings, and did not involve separating eggs or anything else too complicated for weekday breakfast. My first cookbook was the Tassajara Bread Book! And the first Moosewood. Does that date me or what? Yes, I check Smitten every day.

(Though I shouldn't be by this time... everything I've tried from SK has been awesome.) I used two-thirds whole wheat flour and reduced the sugar to 1 1/3 cups. Absolutely delicious, with approval from everyone from the husband to the seven-year-old. I didn't peel the zucchini and it turned out with these gorgeous flecks of emerald green all through the batter. I'll use this recipe from now on! I’m wowed, again.

She would do most of the work but I would stand on a step stool in my little apron, dip the fork in flour and put the criss-cross pattern on top :) Betty Crocker as well – and I loved making peanut butter cookies with my mom.

Thank you. My first cookbook was Betty Crocker, and I'll never forget the pancakes made with buttermilk on p. 57. That's the only recipe I remember. Not sure where that book went! lovely zucchini recipe. Thank you. My first cookbook was Betty Crocker, and I’ll never forget the pancakes made with buttermilk on p. 57.

Needless to say I've spent the last few days drooling over your recipes and gorgeous pictures. I made this recipe exactly as is, and it's absolutely delicious and a total keeper. I'm intrigued by other commenters' suggestions, particularly fresh blueberries... why not? =) Maybe next time I'll swap half the oil for applesauce and use some whole wheat flour, just in the name of being healthy, but honestly this recipe is so good there's no need to tinker with it. Thanks for this incredible resource, and congratulations on your beautiful little boy! You've made a permanent fan out of me.

I think I will try it in a 9x13 with cream cheese frosting. My mom and sister hand wrote a cookbook of all their favorite recipes. I cherish it. There is space for me to add my own recipes too. mmm, I am going to make this today. I think I will try it in a 9×13 with cream cheese frosting.
