Here's a SPIFFY spiralbound cookbook, created by the Presbyterian Women of the Independent Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1969:

It has LOVELY chapter dividers, in black and white, like this one:

The recipe I've chosen to feature is for TWICE AROUND MACARONI AND CHEESE, which is shown in the photo above:

Twice Around Macaroni and Cheese

2 T. plus 2 tsp. salt
4 to 6 qt. boiling water
4 c. elbow macaroni
1/2 c. chopped onion
6 T. butter or margarine
6 T. flour
6 C. milk
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese

Add 2 T. salt to rapidly boiling water; add macaroni gradually so water continues to boil.  Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender; drain in colander.  Cook onion in butter until crisp--tender; stir in flour quickly.  Add milk gradually, stirring constantly; add remaining seasonings.

Cook, stirring, until sauce boils for 1 minute; stir in 4 c. cheese.  Stir until cheese melts; remove from heat.  Combine with macaroni.

Turn half the macaroni-cheese mixture into 1 1/2 qt. casserole; sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbling and lightly browned.  Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Cool remaining macaroni-cheese mixture quickly; turn into 1 1/2 qt. casserole lined with heavy duty foil.  Seal with double fold; freeze.  Remove from casserole; store in freezer.

When ready to serve, remove from foil; place in casserole.  Cover.  Bake in 375 degree oven for 1 hour.  Uncover; sprinkle with 1/2 c. grated cheese or 2 T. seasoned bread crumbs.  Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer, or until mixture is bubbly.  Yield: 8 servings.

Enjoy!
