mine for baking is

The Clueless baker. I love this book, I cannot even screw up the bread recipes

and then my all time trusty Betty Croker cookbook, so worn but I reference it all the time

The Joy of Cooking is my bible! Others are fun to read, but I know if I need a recipe, I can open it and 99% of the time, it'll be in there!

I'm making my own cookbook with recipes I use often. Most are recipes I've printed off allrecipes, hillbillyhousewife, foodnetwork. That is my favorite!

I dont really have a favorite. I have so many that I just know where to go when I want something. A long time ago I printed off a bunch of recipes and put them in a three ring binder. my mom found the cookbook when I moved.

Fix it and Forget It
It's a crock pot cookbook and it is awesome! I actually found one with all diabetic recipes I want to buy! They also have one that is for entertaining. I just own the regular one.

Food to Live By

from the owners of Earthbound Organic Farm. I've had so many compliments on recipes I've gotten from that book!

I have too many also. I guess I could say the Redbook Cookbook from the
70's. My dad bought it for my mom for their Wedding I think? It is falling apart very badly, and I would love to buy a new one. It has all the recipes I need in it.
I love my Taste of Home Cook book from 2001. That is also falling apart. Not Just Beans is a good one too, but I can't find all the recipes I need in it.
I am going to have to look into The Joy of Cooking.
