Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past
Sometimes the simplest of cookbooks catches my attention. This recipe for a delicious chicken salad is in a 64-page, stapled cookbook called ‘Old Timey Recipes.’ It was published by a company of the same name in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in the mid-1990s. The cookbook is in great condition, making me wonder if it was a... Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a cookies recipe. They are my favorite thing to make so I try not to overdo it by posting them every other week, although I could easily do so! Cookie cookbooks are my downfall! This recipe is unusual for me because it has a secret ingredient I’ve never... Continue Reading →
Are you a gardener who feels like zucchini is growing out your ears because it is so plentiful? If so, pass it on. I’m enjoying trying multiple recipes with zucchini. The wonderful thing about zucchini is that it can be used in everything from appetizers to entrees to vegetarian and vegetable to desserts! Plus, I... Continue Reading →
(That is how the recipe in the cookbook spells what we spell as 'Lasagna') With a slight break in the hot temperatures (the high is only 84 degrees!), I finally turned on the oven to make a baked pasta dish. It’s been a while for us to have such a filling dish. But school has... Continue Reading →
Today is National Cheesecake Day! I can't think of a better type of day. Yes, I have something of a sweet tooth. But I’m trying to balance that with a number of healthy recipes this year. Hence, the slaw, salads, and protein-packed dishes. But there comes a time when only something sweet, specifically cheesecake, will... Continue Reading →
This summer I’ve had a fascination with pineapple and the various ways to use it. (My favorite way may still be freshly cut!) I’ve shared vintage pineapple recipes for slaw, chicken dish, and cake. Today’s recipe is another possibility, should you find a sale on pineapple at your store (I always keep my eyes open!)... Continue Reading →
It’s a cooler day this morning in my part of the Midwest – 68! But the temps are supposed to get sweltering again by the end of the week. We had several incidents of rain over the weekend which really helped with our crops and gardens. Thank God for that! As it is not yet... Continue Reading →
Is anyone else tired of summer and its hotness? (Is hotness a word?) I find myself going to the gym, rather than exercising outside – because it’s too hot to walk even at 6am. We enclosed our patio to enjoy summer without bugs – but it’s too hot to sit out there. My lawn is... Continue Reading →
I’m challenging myself to try healthy foods that are new to me. That includes cabbage. This is not necessarily an unusual food in the culinary world, just in my diet. My grandma grew cabbage in her garden. Mom didn't serve it often, probably because she knew my sisters and me always turned up our noses... Continue Reading →
We have certainly had the hot weather in the Midwest. It is somewhat unusual for us to have temps in the 90s in June – usually it would be mid to high 80s but not more. So, I’ve searched for vintage dinner recipes that can be cooked without the oven. Today’s recipe is a great... Continue Reading →
