Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past
This is a special blog post for me. I’ve not blogged for several months. The reason is that my husband of 44 years, John, died from prostate cancer in October. We fought the battle with that awful disease for 17 months until his poor body succumbed peacefully. I took this photo of him last year... Continue Reading →
Moving Week is here! My head is full of details for Saturday’s big day when we move from one home to another. Approximately 20 people are expected to volunteer to help us move boxes, furniture, and other items to our new home. We are moving only one-half of a mile, but it is our first... Continue Reading →
We’re on the countdown for our moving date! Less than 2 weeks! I’ve packed nearly everything from my kitchen, including baking pans. Luckily, my local library – Wells County Public Library -- checks out baking pans, including those for muffins/cupcakes. It was my first time to use these items. They looked barely used even though... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Vintage Eats! Cookies were part of my baking routine in the 1980s and 1990s when my kids were growing up. I must have created thousands using different recipes, though mostly chocolate chip. When my mother-in-law gave me Air Bake cookie sheets, it opened me to a world of fewer burnt cookies in our...

Did your eyes do a double take upon reading the title of this week’s sweet treat? You didn't misread and it’s not a typo. I’m calling this dessert ‘Blubarb’ because it is, of course, a combination of rhubarb and blueberries. I don't know why this pair is not seen more often in recipes! They’re fabulous...

This is the week of our country’s independence, starting in 1776! Happy birthday, America! We are a patriotic family and so I try to show my support for our patriotic holidays as often as possible. This Fourth of July I’m focusing on showing my patriotism through my baking. After looking online and in magazines for... Continue Reading →
I was in the mood to do some baking this week (surprise, surprise). Cookies were my first option (again, no surprise to those who follow this blog as I've shared several in the past). Then I thought of the time that cookies took – mixing the ingredients, preparing cookie sheets (usually 4), waiting for each... Continue Reading →
Here is what I promised – a second vintage recipe using the remainder of the cabbage from last week’s Stuffed Cabbage Rolls. Quick and Easy Fruit Slaw is a delightful, surprising take on the traditional coleslaw made with a cream or vinegary dressing. This recipe offers healthier choices like yogurt. I’ve only learned to like... Continue Reading →
One of my New Year Resolutions in 2024 was to try new foods. Confession time: I had never eaten cabbage. Never purchased it, never considered it in the diet of my family while they were growing up, never looked for recipes using it. Couldn't stand the smell and look of it after Mom made corned...

It’s always fun to find a quick and easy vintage recipe that sparks the taste buds! This recipe made with fresh blueberries (frozen can be used if thawed, drained) is moist and tastes much like cake. Every crumb packed a wallop with blueberry goodness! As with most quick breads, it is simple and quick to... Continue Reading →
