Sherri - I ordered the 1st one. It's beefier - lots of recipes - more for grownups to share with kids. The other one is more of a children's book, I think. The 1st one DOES have excerpts of the Little House books, so Laura Ingalls should be included as an author on that one too. Hope that helps!
Now I'm off to follow your link to A Reasonable Life...thanks!
