- Nana's 1943 cookbook contains a very few color photos. I'm sharing today & its recipe. While the recipe seems to indicate 1 egg per serving, the food stylist must have been thinking of us in the future. Either way, I'm sure it makes a great start to the day. Wouldn't you agree?🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky
- Who doesn't love a versatile recipe? @joyofcooking.bsky.social knows we all do and this 1975 version of Corn Bread Tamale Pie is sure to be a winner whenever you serve it. What do you think: Brunch, Lunch, or Supper? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- We're rolling through the week, & Fannie Farmer is bringing this dish from 1965. With only 6 ingredient's t can't be that hard to make. Right? What do you think? Would you give this one a try? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- Looking for a side dish for dinner this week. Betty Crocker would like to consider this 1950s recipe. It looks rather simple, and it sounds like it's a great addition for a supper to remember. How do we say no to that? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- A special treat to start the week, Banana Fritters from Nana's 1943 Cookbook. It sounds like a nice treat for the end of lunch or dinner. You just have to choose, maple syrup or Lemon sauce as the topping. Let me know your choice. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- Your Sunday Meal plan from 1943 is ready for you. Soft-boiled eggs at breakfast, A big mid-day meal, and a simple supper that includes cheesecake today. Should Nana be expecting you to visit today? Let me know below. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #Menuoftheday
- Let's finish up the week with a classic stew. 1975 @joyofcooking.bsky.social Beef Goulash is a hearty stew in itself, but served with their menu suggestion rounds out a meal perfect for these winter nights. Best let Nana know if you'll be stopping by tonight. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #RecipeOfTheDay
- A little Friday evening picture catch-up from my kitchen this week. Meatballs from earlier this week. Beef vegetable Soup w/cornbread from tonight. See Alt Text for additional details. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- It's -3 according to my at-home weather station. Sounds like Nana knew we'd be looking for a nice bowl of warmth today, and she said Clam Chowder, but make it NY. 😉 From 1943 Manhattan Clam Chowder. Who's interested in a bowl? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- Still cold, still icy, still need to eat. @joyofcooking.bsky.social 1975 version has this casserole I stumbled across while looking at their many meal plans. Layers of noodles, meat, covered in a cheesy sauce, well, who can say "no" to that? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- How about a unique mid-week soup recipe? It may be hard to find the main ingredient in stores today, but if you do, you have the start to an "elegant but easy dinner party soup". What do you think, should we plan a small dinner party? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- "Glorified Cheese Sandwiches," according to Betty Crocker. This casserole from 1950 looks simple to throw together. All you have to decide is what creamed vegetable goes on the side. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- Welcome to Monday. Instead of Meatless Monday, Nana's doing Triple Meat Monday. This meatloaf recipe from 1943 is 1 of the rare ones that serves more than the standard 5 people. Sounds like Nana is expecting you for dinner. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- What a meal plan Nana has for all of us today! Waffles & Bacon for breakfast. Chicken & Dumplings for Dinner. Toasted Cheese Sandwiches for Supper. It looks like a good day to visit Nana. Should she save you a plate too? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #Menuoftheday
- Is it cold out, or is it just me? Last night, my backyard got down to -16℉. Luckily, Nana knew it was going to be 🥶 and had this suggestion from 1943: Cream of Salmon Soup. What do you think? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- Fannie Farmer Friday rolls in with this Shrimp Dish. I've made something similar years ago. The cooking time on this still seems to long, but you be the expert and tell me what you think of this 1965 Shrimp Polonaise. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- Fresh-made rolls would be great for this coming weekend. @joyofcooking.bsky.social from 1975 has this healthy option b/c even back then Fiber was important. In this case is sounds delicious too. What do you think of Refrigerator Bran Rolls? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- Betty Crocker knows a nice hot Muffin tostart the morning is hard to turn down. Their Oatmeal Muffins sound like a great way to start the day. A simple recipe that comes together fast is just what my morning needs. What about you? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
- 1st is was Betty Crocker, then it was Fannie Farmer, this week You all can share your opinions with @joyofcooking.bsky.social from 1975 on their Chicken Gumbo. Please note the 2nd picture from the recipe as an important health note. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
