You guys, this cake is just so easy, but everyone loves it! My son will eat an entire casserole dish full in a day! I made it when some family came recently and nobody could believe how easy it is, and my Niece threatened to eat the whole pan! (She didn’t because I always have […]

Magic Custard Pie- My Latest Favorite Recipe
Have you ever had a recipe that you KNEW would leave zero leftovers? That you could possibly eat in one sitting? This recipe is like that for me. My husband has actually taken the pie server out of my hand before because I had already eaten almost a whole pie! I came across this awhile […]
1931 Gingerbread Muffins– Yummy muffins from a old recipe
My magazine collection is growing, a lot really I may be addicted, and recently I ordered a stack of issues from 1931. One the back of one cover was a Pillsbury ad about how their balanced flour makes large batches easy and talks about making 250 muffins. I was a little afraid of quantity when […]
Make Your Own Hot Cocoa Mix- Easy and with only Three Ingredients!
Do you like hot cocoa? I do. While some people only drink cocoa, or tea, or coffee, or hot cider, I drink them all! I love to get cozy with a hot cup of something. So does my son. My son also loves snow days. He will often be out ALL day on any snow […]
Troll Cake Hat- and Recipe for Troll Cake
I’ve mentioned that I’m a troll cook, but I also tend to be a troll crafter. The Troll Attitude tends to be “it is what it is.” A recipe makes the amount it is meant to make. A cut shape comes out the measurement it comes out, and in this case, a hat comes out as […]
That’s Right Folks! It’s a Jello Mold!
I promised in February that the Ripe Olive Empress Salad, Jello Mold, would be made! There was a delay, but it was made as promised. Usually I buy my gelatin in bulk but when I went to a new bulk food store they didn’t sell it that way. I had to go buy Knox from […]
It’s Cursed! Cursed I tell you!!
Do you ever start a project, or a meal, and from start to finish it is just cursed? Just every little thing that can go wrong does, and what should be quick and/or easy take forever or is very hands on. That happened to me Sunday night while cooking dinner. I started a full 30 […]
Kid Approved Gingerbread Pancakes
One feature in many Workbasket issues with “With The Cooks,” which has a variety of recipes on a similar theme. This February 1967 issue the theme was pancakes! I know to some people pancakes are a weekend food, but not to us. We’re as likely to have pancakes on a random Tuesday as on a […]
Hot Turkey Salad
My husband and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary back in October, and I remember making hot chicken salad years ago as a newlywed in our apartment. The November 1962 issue featured the same recipe using turkey, so I knew I needed to make it again. Admittedly it isn’t much to look at. The picture […]
Spiced Apples
The November 1962 issue I’m currently working on has a ton of recipes (17 if my memory serves) but they’re mostly for Thanksgiving or Turkey leftovers. I don’t have turkey leftovers yet obviously, but there was a spiced apple recipe and I decided to try it. My family loves apples. I usually buy 2 bushels […]
Spaghetti Fritatta
The October/November 1992 issue features surprisingly few recipes, but I was intrigued by the spaghetti fritatta. It features egg, mozzarella, parmesan, bacon, and the main ingredient cooked spaghetti. The great benefit to this is how impossible it seems to be to make the right amount of spaghetti for dinner to match the right amount of […]
