Abstract

This box contains all of the recipe cards that were in the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth boxes of recipe cards created and organized by Betty Carey. Most of the recipe cards in this box are hand-crafted, meaning they are index cards upon which Betty Carey stapled recipes of her choosing. The recipe cards from Boxes 11 and 12 are handwritten. Additionally, Box 13 was a collection of published recipe cards in a "Cooking with Mary Metzker" set and the cards in Box 14 were part of a published set titled "Better Homes and Gardens Diet Recipe Card Library" (published in 1989). Box 15 also contains published recipe cards from various sources.

The recipes from Box #11 also include alphabetical dividers, and there are dividers in Boxes 13 and 14 based on the type of food.

Some recipe cards have notes about when Betty Carey collected the recipe or attempted to make it (dates seen include 1972, 1981, 1983, 1988, 1989).
