Better Homes & Gardens marks 100 years

[@gwenniegirl50]

After renting for 12 years my parents finally bought a home. I remember Mom subscribing to BHG 1965. She ordered various kits for decorating projects. She got one of the cookbooks. I basically taught myself to cook from 4th grade on using that same cookbook. Congratulations on 100 years!

I have a 1942 edition of the "Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book" that belonged to my grandmother. There are penciled notes in the margins and a few spills on the pages. All of which make it even more precious to me. Because of WWII, there are many recipes that have substitutions, based on limited food types during the war.

[@blackbroadwayandbeyond]

Very cool! That book is essentially a time capsule.

I grew up reading this mag as it was one of my mom's favorites..when I see this mag I think of my mom.. how I miss her😘🎈

[@chrisfinch8637]

What a landmark to celebrate. Congratulations, BH&G.

[@mylifetimephotograph]

As my love of magazines is in it's twilight, now hard to find ones still published, my heart was so happy to see BH&G enlarged and ready to meet my magazine addiction. I will treasure every issue now. Thank you for sticking around.

[@mollykauffman6376]

Love this!! Thank you & BHG!

[@bubbamartin7053]

The BHG gives ideas to people to improve their lives. Us poor people can't afford all of it, but a ray of sunshine is better than darkness.

Love Better Homes & Garden magazine with the cooking ideas and home decor.

[@robynblosio]

I am with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Shore & Country Properties in Connecticut. This brand is wonderful in every way!

[@chestyvulva]

Best sugar cookie recipe I have ever had is from Better Homes and Gardens. My mom used it all through the '80s and I've been making them since the '90s. Great magazine and a stable in our home growing up.

[@annmonick513]

I am from Des Moines, Iowa and my parents' home was sold to the editor of BH&G that featured my childhood home in the magazine. I think the early 90s. I need to find a copy!

[@nell3753]

Looks wonderful. Next place to visit!!!❤️👍💖

[@anndreastembridge367]

And congratulations on your anniversary.😇🥳🎉

The pictures in Better Homes and Gardens are beautiful.

Sunset Magazine was modeled after BH&G but with a focus on California and the West

[@ediebaxter6194]

I believe my mom had a Better Homes and Garden's cook book. Happy 100th Birthday!

[@arlenecal]

Awesome presentation... loved it!

Gardening is healing.

Serena great job combination of beauty and talent :-)

I still enjoy it.

Stories like this is what CBS SM needs to focus on.

[@chrisfinch8637]

That would almost be like asking for a perfect world, these days, even though you’re not wrong, there.

My Mom was a subscriber for more than 50 years !

I went to high school across the street from the offices. My first job was at Meridith publications printing plant.

Happy 100 birthday !

[@marywatkins6798]

I am a longtime subscriber and was shocked at Harry Styles on a recent cover. Well, I did what any devoted subscriber would do. I fired off a Letter to the Editor! I actually love BH&G.

[@adelaferreira4575]

Great magazine through the years !

[@cherylwalsh5396]

Sad to say, that after subscribing since my first home in 1978, they sent me a notice that I would no longer get a printed copy mailed to me. I do not want to look at digital issues, so that is that. I said to cancel and refund any left over issues. Never heard a word. :o(

[@Mssipequeen]

my mom has a better homes and gardens cookbook from 1970 she still uses it !

[@Zachj0_0]

I'm from the Des Moines area and I've never known they were based there...

[@LOL.1782]

Beautiful 🎉

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

I remember Congresswoman Bella Abzug screaming, "We are not the women in BH&G. I don't wanna to cook, when there's Chinese in Chinatown who do it so well!" LMFAO! Great moments in life!

People who are old or handicapped could afford hanging baskets. Thanks for putting FOOD in a Hanging basket!

[@skyaker8241]

This used to be a fine magazine. Generations of women in my family have enjoyed it, and looked forward to receiving each edition. I canceled my subscription, however, when the issue arrived containing the strange photos of Harry Styles. Too many of the ever-dwindling number of pages of BHG were dedicated to this layout, and we frankly didn't see the purpose. Sadly, we now feel alienated by the content of a magazine we grew up with, and loved.

[@jjj1951]

My friend thought a more appropriate title would be Better Homes Than Yours.

[@amybrinkley2012]

I enjoyed the Harry Styles issue. The cover caught my attention - so different! Yet it was about home and life and I thought it was a fine feature for a summer edition magazine.

[@cybersnake8]

I was hoping to get into the nostalgic celebration , when cover to cover , it struck me as being one kind of people and one kind only . The taste it left in my mouth … well, I wouldn’t want to eat it or grow it or live in it .

[@finalvoyage35]

Frou frou and too much keeping up with the Joneses style decor? That's what I always assumed.

[@pamelamays4186]

I think every Boomer's mom had copy of the Better Homes And Gardens Cookbook.

[@elfinmajictime]

What a shame they've gotten so far away from what the magazine was built on. Today it's unreasonable homes to emulate, ridiculously contemporary recipes and no reader interaction. The old magazines offer so much more to the reader than the new one does.

CBS never passes up an opportunity to take something that is average and mundane, and puts a political twist on it.

@@landonjensen8952 But was the article political? It was about gardening and healthy eating. Or are you saying that being a politician or being married to a politician makes everything you do political?

No politics but Obama on the cover.... Hmmm

[@bvw3153]

The fact that you see the former First Lady being on the cover of a magazine as a political statement, without even (I am sure) reading the article says a lot. The feature was about the White House garden and healthy eating by the way. Socialism!!!
