My Grandmother's Recipe Box - if you are just joining me, here's the series I've been posting (old vintage recipes circa 1945-1980)

 

 

A few years ago (doing Covid shut-downs I think it was) I was going to do a series of recipes from my Grandmother's recipe box, which I inherited, as she has long since passed.  I started the series, with photos, background stories and re-typing all the recipes as well as posting photos of the originals.

It was time consuming, (and I get zero income from this site - it's just my personal site) so when life started to throw me some major curve balls, this site took a backseat.

Recently I was searching for an elusive recipe I've been kinda-sorta looking out for for literally years, and although I know I don't have a copy, I always 'hope' and start thumbing through the old church and community cookbooks I have (a thousand) and came across Grandma's recipe box again... and I know the recipe I always hope to find isn't in it, I opened it, and realized I needed to post all these recipes for my kids (and someday, their kids) to use or last see, so they are never 'lost' forever.

And here we are.

Life is busy busy busy (now more than ever) so I've been doing the posts "quick and sloppy" by putting up a quick photo and listing the recipes in that series.

If you are just joining me, welcome!  I hope you find what you are looking for!

These are random recipes from about 1945-1979 (I believe a few are earlier than that, into the late 30's but I don't know for sure so I had to go by the ones I found dates or other information on to know when they were collected by her.)
