While my original "Grandma's Recipe Box" series idea a couple years ago got side-lined by some major life craziness and never finished, doing the posts this way make it super quick and I've found I'm more likely to post them since just doing it 'fast and sloppy'!
The idea of course is I really want to make sure the recipes are saved for my kids and grandkids use (but I keep my website public to help everyone, even though it's my personal site). Great-Grandma's recipe (and in the case of MY grandkids will be their "Great-Great Grandma's recipes) are easily shared when they can look them up here - no matter who might inherit or want her original old gray, metal recipe box.
When I originally started this series a few years ago, I also posted some of her recipes from really old pamplets and booklets she had. You can still find those on my site - it's easiest to just click on the label in the right hand side bar that says "Grandmother's recipe box" - this will bring up pages of old recipes of hers including booklets like:
Vintage Cookie and Candy Recipes: by Karo Syrup and Mazola Corn Oil "Fancy Cookies - Festive Candies - Delicious Goodies For Giving" circa 1956
and
Vintage Candy Recipes from the 1941 Candy Booklet: "The Candy Book"
Here is today's QUICK post of a few more recipe cards from her box.
These recipes came from soooo many different people back then and you can tell as there are a variety of handwriting, spelling, ways of writing them out that are personal to whomever the original friend was who shared them.
Today we have:
Dried Beef Casserole
Cracker Jacks
Crank Ice Cream
Carrot Cake and Frosting
Corned Beef Casserole
Fluffy Lemon Cake
