Since then, there have been over 63 million Betty Crocker cookbooks sold worldwide.

I’ll never forget being gifted my firstBetty Crocker Cookbookas a going away gift for college.

However, the memory of me attempting my first meal on my own will stay with me forever.

I must admit, the Florida gal in me has never heard ofcobialet alone tried it for myself.

They would filet the catch and baste them in butter and grill them."

And according to my aunt, some Floridians are very passionate about their favorite types of fish.

So, I immediately called my parents to learn more.

When I asked them about lemon icebox pie, they were quick to express their excitement.

“Oh yeah!”

“Those are excellent.

We used to buy them all the time and keep them in the refrigerator.

They’re sort of like key lime pie.”

And when I asked about bread pudding with bourbon sauce, my mom agreed, “Yep.

That’s absolutely the best way to eat it!”

I’ve never tried one and haven’t seen anyone eating them.

But, my curiosity is peaked enough to give this recipe a try.
