Once a Betty, always a Betty.

Once a Betty, always a Betty. That’s the shared sentiment for many of the people who have worked on Betty Crocker over the years. 

It’s a special bond that brought them back together to reconnect where it all began – in the Betty Crocker Kitchens.

"We originally wanted to reunite to celebrate Betty’s 100th birthday in 2021, but COVID got in the way,” says Cathy Swanson Wheaton, executive editor of Betty Crocker cookbooks. “Everyone was so excited to finally reconnect—over all the good food that was lovingly prepared by the attendees.”

About 70 women showed up to connect with new and familiar faces and to reminisce about their working days.
