Patricia Davids here with something good.
Crab-filled crescent wontons
I like to cook good things for my
friends and family.
I LOVE to cook things
that are good and EASY.
This appetizer fits the bill. Picture and recipe are from the Betty Crocker website, my go to place for all
things delicious if what I'm looking for isn't in the 1974 dog-eared copy of my
own Better Crocker Cookbook that I received as a wedding gift in 1974. http://www.bettycrocker.com/ I seriously love that book. And the man.

The crab-filled crescent wantons sound wonderful. Thanks for sharing, Patrica.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make them for Easter dinner.
DeleteI loved your post and I think its a wonderful idea to feature recipes now and then. I'm an avid cook and cookbook collector...and I have and use the 1969 first edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I gave my mom the copy in 1970, then she gave me a copy for our wedding in 1976, but after she passed away I gave mine to a daughter-in-law and starting using hers because I'm sentimental. I hadn't thought to use their website, so I just bookmarked it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds wonderful. I printed it off for an Easter dinner. appetizer. A Crescent Roll recipe our whole family has enjoyed for decades is the Crafty Crescent Lasagna. Yum! :)
Of all the things we lost in a house fire decades ago I still mourn the loss of my mother-in-law's cookbook, Granddaughter Ingelnook's Cookbook. 1940 edition. I've never run across another copy. Loads of good stuff in that one.
DeleteOh Patricia. These look so yummy. I would love to make them. I'm a big fan of crab and wontons. And the recipe is actually not complicated at all. Thanks so much for sharing! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeletePatricia, I looked on ebay and amazon. There's a 1942 version and a much newer one on ebay.

Roxanne thank you. I'll check it out.
DeleteThanks for a great recipe, Patricia! You've made me hungry! :)
ReplyDeleteI need to check my own Betty Crocker cookbook for the edition. Evidently, all brides of that era received a copy as a shower or wedding gift!
Sounds good, Patricia. I love to cook when I have time. I love reading through cookbooks, too!
