Favorite Cookbooks

Betty Crocker Cooking (Betty Crocker)

excellent home cooking, cook book.

Chefs I recommend

Cheyenne Plew (Jerome, ID)

She only cooks for family, but I am so in awe of her and her ability to cook. She was only rivaled by my mother.

Restaurants I Recommend

OxBow (Bliss, ID)

Truck stops provide the best "home cooking" and a great place to meet new friends. My son's, soon to be, sister-in-law runs it..

Norm's (Twin Falls, ID)

Norm's is a small family owned and ran restaurant with great food and lots of friendly people. Never had a bad esperience there and they will give you smaller portions, when you request it, without charging the full price.

Choate's (Jerome, ID)

Best shrimp baskets I've ever had. Not small shrimp, but large shrimp and plenty of them. Used to have coleslaw with the basket but no longer add it. (probably to make it more economical when adding the larger shrimp)

Blue Spruce Cafe (Forsythe, MT)

Would drive for the day and a half it would take, just for their French toast. Lovely atmosphere and friendly employees.

The Pizza Place (Sydney, MT)

Never had pizza as good as here. I ordered a supreme pizza and when it came to the table it was about 3 inches thick and full of cheese ane meat. Best pizza I have ever had.

The Depot (Livingston, MT)

If you are a 24 hour a day breackfast person, like my husband, you will love this place. I'm sure they had other food, but we always order breakfast ( and I'm not even a big breakfast fan.)
