Free Recipe Booklets

Here are a ton of free cookbooks I found while browsing the web for recipes.  I absolutely love getting the print editions in the mail, but I also found some really great downloadable ones.  Enjoy!

NOTE: Because this list changes often, I decided to create a page on Squidoo where I could update daily. Please visit today's updated page at Totally Free Recipe Books. You'll also find current free Kindle ecookbooks there.

I just had to share this oh-so-easy and delectable recipe with you! I officially have a NEW favorite dessert...and it doesn't even have CHOCOLATE in it!

Melt In Your Mouth Fruit Crisp

1 c. shortening

1-1/2 c. brown sugar

2 t. cinnamon

1-1/2 c. oatmeal

1 c. flour

3-4 c. fruit

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Wash, peel and cut up fruit into bite-size pieces. Place in a buttered 9X13 baking dish.

Cream shortening. Mix in brown sugar, cinnamon, oatmeal, and flour. Pour over the fruit.

Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Don't cover.

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. ENJOY!

My mother-in-law gave me a ton of peaches and blueberries, so I used those last night. It turned out delicious! She usually makes it with apples. Simple and delicious ~ and a big hit with my family! That makes it a winner in my book!

'Til next time...
