I ate about a zillion pounds of Holiday Spaghetti growing up! Just found your channel and you are AWESOME!
Thank you
I just made that CORN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE cause I had everything already on hand, It tastes great. I did forget to bake mine in a water bath which i had to cook it a little longer but it came out done and still taste good. Next time I will try the water bath cooking it unless I forget again. Thanks for sharing as always I enjoy your channel.
I love your channel and I love budget cooking. When I was married in 1981, my Mom gave me a Good Housekeeping cookbook from 1942. This behemoth is 979 pages! Published at the height of WW2, it has whole sections on substitutions for rationed foods, such as meat, eggs, and butter, and includes a nice chapter on just leftovers, as well as cooking for one or 2. It is more than a cookbook, and I got a lot of good advice when first setting up housekeeping. I've been married 43 years, and still have, and use, that cookbook.
cooking from older recipe books is always a trip … some ingredients/items just were not there in say the 50's and what they used was adventuresome and interesting. In your Corn Casserole today we would probably use a tabasco/hot sauce for that zing flavor.
My dear Mom received this cookbook as a bridal shower gift in 1953. Growing up, my siblings and I made many recipes from it. We read that book to tatters! Mom didn't mind. We were learning how to cook which was a relief to her. She hated cooking! I had that beaten up old book for years. Some friends and I used it as the basis for our Betty Crocker Cult, lol! I eventually replaced it with the facsimile that is now available. If you look toward the end of the cookbook, there is a section of advice for homemakers. It is a hoot!
Something i have noticed – cake/muffin mixes and finished products from the store seem too sweet. Have gone back to my old Good Housekeeping cookbook and it calls for a lot less sugar and the end result is MUCH better. Extra effort, but well worth it.
The old Better Homes and Betty Crocker cookbooks are the best!
Adding a little nutmeg to your milk and egg mixture for those cheese sandwiches will kick it up a notch.
I am glad I watched this video. I wasn’t looking for a supper idea but I did need one for tonight. When you said Johnny Marzetti it reminded me that I haven’t made it in a while. I have the ingredients thawing now. Thanks.
Your stove lets you know when your oven is ready to go? This is exactly why I want a brand new stove one day. The thing I have is at least 20 years old. But I need to get a new washer and dryer set first! 😆… My so called life.
I have a 1945 good housekeeping cookbook book. Do use online recipes but when times are such that I need a comfort meal,, those 1945 recipes never let me down. Tyfs ❤
Grew up with Betty Crocker cookbook of the 50s as Mom's cooking bible. I continued using it, but you are so right: before cooking, read the entire recipe…there may be a garnish, and finish ingredient at the end that is NOT in the list of ingredients to prep or buy.
I love this ladies cooking videos. No big over produced nonsense. Just a pleasant home cooking environment. Very relaxing viibes.
I’m a Meijer girl too, love you apron, I could make that corn sausage casserole, my husband is prejudiced against casseroles! Oh well. Love your channel. ❤❤❤
On my third vintage Big Red. My 1962 one fell a part from using it so much. My second one caught on fire. LOL
I found one like yours at an antique store for $10 and grabbed it! Thanks for sharing those recipes. I am super intrigued.
I love old cookbooks! Just found your channel and enjoyed this video very much. I plan to try these dishes. I just subbed and liked.
I really like at the beginning when they show items they're using. that'd be nice. 😇🙏
My mother used to bake me an Oyster Casserole. Unfortunately, I never got the recipe from her before she died. I got many, just not that one. I wonder if you will run across it in one of your Betty Crocker cook books. She was born in the late, late 40's, so any cook book after that era. Any way, thought I would leave a comment, and thank you. Such a warm and cozy channel.
I have this cookbook. Love it.
Hi Anna. I really like the minamal ingredient recioes. Sometimes its just nice nit to have to buy a bunch of stuff for a recioe and the minimal ingredient ones the more chances if having what uou need in the pantry. Thanks for sharing these.
This is the vintage cookbook I want the most, of all my Grandma’s cookbooks I inherited, she didn’t have this one 😢
I purchased some of the items you use, and I keep perking up and thinking, “I have that!” 😂 Great recipes! I am going to try the sandwich one with the last of the ham and Swiss I have. Thank you!
Yum! Those sandwiches look delicious! Def add ham or bacon and eat for breakfast.
Ngl I was worried that the ketchup would ruin that corn casserole but I'm glad it didn't! We love corn so I'll have to try cooking that one night. 💕
I really love this idea of budget recipe to start the year and I hope you will make this a January tradition on your channel. Sometimes you need to add some quick and easy cost effective fix to your recipe rotation. Thank you!
I have the original hard cover and was always skeptical about how some of these would have turned out so I'm definitely trying the sandwich one tomorrow
I've made the ring of plenty in the past! It was fun
I have that cookbook!😀
Oh my, I just realised that on the same page with the cheese sandwiches casserole is a recipe my mother used to make, the open cheese bacon sandwich with tomato. It was absolutely delish, or so I thought as a kid. Definitely going to make that one!
I have this cookbook, from 1951, except it is a hardcover. Same color and design on front. Found the holiday spaghetti in it, going to make it. May try the cheese sandwiches also. Thanks for doing the old recipes
your 1950 Betty Crocker cook book looks almost identical to my 1960 Betty Homes and Gardens' book book. Even to the photos Mine is very well used..
I inherited a 1972 version similar to this. Hmm I'm 61.
Increased spending during Hannukah time also!
Wondering if the cheese sandwich casserole is attempting to be a croque monsieur? A lot of oven time for a cheese sandwich!
Love this ❤! Especially the cheese sandwich. As I live alone I think I could probably make individual ones and freeze them. I have homemade veg soup that they will go with perfectly. My favourite cookery book is the Good Housekeeping cookbook I was given as a wedding present in 1976 – it covers everything!
I miss all of my old cookbooks. Lost them all. 🙁 i was a lover of old …just like you. I had all of the old dishes and glass cookware just like you. My life did a 180 when my husband got sick and passed.
A day late on viewing 😟. But this episode was even more fun than usual! So, thank you. – And love that apron.
The cheese sandwich egg bake sounds like french toast with cheese. I'd probably make french toast, without cinnamon, put cheese between 2 slices, and microwave to melt cheese. Quicker and no oven or hour soaking. Good for you for taling home leftover bread at restaurants. It gets thrown out anyway. 😊 on the menus, portion sizes were much smaller than today, so you could have eaten everything in the menu, and no need to snack afterwards!
The “sandwich casserole” is called Gloucester pie in the uk but we put tomato in it. With love from Gloucester Uk 🇬🇧
Adding a little mustard to the eggs un the cheese sandwish would be delicious. Ham wouldn't hurt either😂
Why do you shop at Fred Meyer? Their prices are three times higher for the exact same product. They are literally a waste of money for an object that does the same thing – shopping at FM is like buying a tesla truck 😂.
Do you live in a food desert and FM is your only option? Im blessed to have at least 10 grocery stores I can go to in my region before Fred Meyer. They are literally my last choice for buying food.
Ive made all the muffins with Gluten free flour. Suprised me! Cereal muffins, and suprise muffins with a spot of jam in the middle. Just really cool.
I’m so grateful to this book, I knew NOTHING about cooking…This book has everything, and how to feed my family on the cheap across the board. I’ve never seen another book like it, with the key recipes, and variations, I love Betty’s good and easy that came out at the same time too. It has the meals broken up by breakfast, lunch, dinner, 4th meal. It’s great too.. and how to make lunches ahead of time for your family. All kinds of tips in both, so grateful
One of the other interesting things about "Big Red" — a lot of the dishes in there were originally formulated for limited meat options on the American homefront during WWII.
