"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

I came across a unique sandwich recipe in Nana's cookbook. Freshly made biscuits sound perfect to me as I'm in the middle of a Winter Storm Warning with blizzard like condidtions. These are thin biscuts but when everything else is added, it sounds like a hardy sandwich to me. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky

Our Sunday Mela plan is ready to go. I hope to see some of you for Sunday Dinner today. I know Nana will have plenty of boiled dinner to share. I'll make an excuse for you regarding supper for later tonight. 😉 Share your thoughts below. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #Menuoftheday

We've reached mid January & I think a nice bright salad is in order. This is Number 1 of 4 Stuffed Tomato Salads in our 1943 cookbook. Toss this together and serve on the side with...? Well, you tell me what we're having with this today. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

So about a week ago, I posted Potato Soup from 1975's @joyofcooking.bsky.social. Tonight, I made it! 🥰 It's F'ing Perfect!

Griddle cakes are on the lunch menu today from 1943. These hardy cakes are served with some Maple syrup and grape tapioca. It's a simple lunch, but it should fuel us until tonight's dinner of Veal a la King. What do you think of this grrddle cake recipe? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #RecipeOfTheDay

Ages ago, someone in the NE USA wanted Bread but didn't have a loaf pan. So they threw the mixture into a can & that's how we got Boston Brown Bread. Probably. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Today's recipe is from 1943, but the image is from @altonbrown.bsky.social's website. Compare and share your thoughts. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky

How about a quick & easy 4 ingredient dessert recipe from 1975 @joyofcooking.bsky.social, today? Give it a look over and let me know what you would serve on the side with this. Ice Cream, drunken fruit, or homemade whipped cream. So many options. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Last week, Betty Crocker came in with Chicken Gumbo; Fannie Farmer wants you to try hers today. Gumbo dates back to the 1700s but didn't become widely popular in the US until the 1970-80s. Fannie Farmer was a home cook ahead of her time. What do you think of this Gumbo? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #RecipeOfTheDay

A good way to use some leftover roast is in a Hash. Beef Hash #2 is on the schedule for tonight. Anytime we start by sauteing in bacon drippings, you know this has got to be good. Adding a simple salad on the side should help balance the meal. Thoughts?🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

I actually made Beef pot Roast with veggies tonight. Carrots, potatoes, and parsnips. Now I wish I had the rest of the meal too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ There's always tomorrow.

I'm not saying this is the most perfect meal plan in the book, but it's gosh darn close. There's very little I'd change w/this plan. Anyone want to join me at Nana's table for Sunday meals? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #Menuoftheday

We've reached Saturday, & I could still use a warm cup of Soup. @joyofcooking.bsky.social 1975s Potato Soup might just be what I'm looking for. I bet most of these ingredients are already in the kitchen. Who's willing to try whipping this version up? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Who's up for a new Salad to get our weekend off on the right track? Fannie Farmer is, that's who! With this salad and homemade dressing combo, we're the winners! Right?? What are your thoughts on this 1965 salad recipe? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Betty Crocker is suggesting an easy meal for tonight. Easy Chicken Gumbo... a little bit of this and that, and before you know it, an old-time Creole favorite is ready to eat. Should Nana plan on you having a bowl of this tonight? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Today's lunch menu features a recipe that I've reread several times now, and I'm still 🤔. This isn't what I think of when I think of fondue, but as I say, 1943 was a very different time in the kitchen. Let me know your thoughts on this "Fondue". 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

How about a nice dinner menu for this Tuesday? Rib's with Gravy and a chocolate dessert. Mashed rutabaga is new for me. I've tried them roasted but not mashed. I may have to try that. What do you think? Should we save you a seat for dinner?🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #Menuoftheday

Eating in 1943 was different than 2026. Keep that in mind when looking at today's Salad recipe. This probably isn't on anyone's radar for lunch, but it does include healthy ingredients in moderation. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Betty Crocker is popping in for the New Year with the Concordia Spaghetti offering. The New Year means we should try new recipes. Well, this would be a new one to me. What do you think? Would you try this in your home? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

This is listed as the main course for today's lunch from 1943. Hominy isn't an ingredient that my Midwestern self is that familiar with. I know some of you, however, are. So, tell me what you think about this for lunch? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

What I looked at today's menu from 1943, I saw Cream of Tomato Soup for lunch. I found a similar recipe in 1965 Fannie Farmer, & here we are. Oh, and cheese crouton for the soup, how can we not?! Tomato Bisque w/Cheese Croutons. Who wants a bowl?🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Let's start the NEW YEAR with a nice dinner, shall we? This 1943 menu for NY Day Dinner might have something for eveyone. Which part are you looking forward to if you were seated at this table? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #Menuoftheday

82 years ago, we ate differently. The recipes I've posted, from 1943, are intended to serve 5 people. Portions were smaller. A cup of coffee/tea was only 4-6oz. Yes, Kids drank a lot of milk. Thank you for your likes & comments this past year. Here's to the New Year! 🎊 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky

We're nearly the end. With only 2 days left in 2025, let's finish with 2 days of meal plans from 1943. A lot may have changed since the book was written, but Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner are still here. What do you think of this meal plan from 1943? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #RecipeOfTheDay #Menuoftheday

I wake up, open the shades, & see a mini blizzard happening. So we'll need a hearty side dish today, and that means Potatoes. In 1965, Fannie Farmer has 2 options for Scalloped Potatoes. Which do you think we should maek today?🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Let's start the countdown to New Year's with 2, 1943 Menus. Coming in at No.2 is this dinner with Roast Beef as the main and Lemon Chiffon Pie as our final dessert of the year. Would you be interested in sitting down to this menu? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #Menuoftheday

I opened up Nana's cookbook to this wonderful color picture. Peach Upside Down Cake! I know it's just a day after a holiday, but New Year's is ready for attention. Could this be part of your celebration? Let me know?🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Well, Lunch turned out pretty good. I remembered to take a picture of the Ham before I carved it all up. Grapefruit, Brown Sugar & Rosemary for the win!

Merry Christmas from my little corner to yours. We will have Christmas lunch today. I've listed my menu in the Alt Text of the photo. I'd love to hear about yours. I hope your table is filled with good food, good people, and good cheer! 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky

Breakfast doesn't get the day off for Christmas. No, sir! The most important meal of the day deserves a little time in the spotlight. 1975 @joyofcooking.bsky.social returns & I'm highlighting 2 breakfast menu options. Are you Team Omlette or Team Poached Eggs? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Menuoftheday

I can't let 1976 @joyofcooking.bsky.social not have a say in some menu options this close to the holiday. A holiday buffet is another great way to be merry and bring in the season. Fundue is great too! What do you think? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #Menuoftheday

Forget it, kids, we're going to The Plaza for Christmas Dinner! Check out the price per person.

For some, Christmas Dinner may seem too formal. Nana's cookbook from 1943 provides a nice option for a Christmas Luncheon. A smaller menu but just as filling. Plus, who doesn't want a little tartan stocking of hard candies waiting at their plate? Let me know your thoughts below. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky

What is happening in the kitchen today? 2 things. I've retempered 2 bars of chocolate and poured them into new squares. I also hand-dipped a few pecans & walnuts for fun. 🧵½ 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky

Christmas is just days away. I'm sure your meal for that day is finalized, but just in case it isn't, Nana's got 1 more Christmas Dinner plan in here, book. Look over this 1943 Christmas meal and tell me what you'd be having. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #Menuoftheday

The main dish of our Mystery Christmas Menu is Roast Loin of Pork. Served with Mashed potatoes and gravy in addition to the other items I've talked about this week. Pork Loin is a lovely alternative to Turkey or Ham. What do you think? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Baked Winter Squash is the next mystery recipe on the Christmas Menu. This dish, along with some nicely cooked greens, gives us those "healthy" veggies we all love. 😉 Cook it, mash it, and top it with marshmallows. Can't go wrong, right? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Next up on our Mystery Christmas Dinner is Spoon Cornbread. It looks like a simple dish, and when they say serve wth plenty of butter..well, how am I to argue? Are you interested in a scoop for your Christmas plate? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Moving on in our mystery Christmas Dinner...Waldorf Salad. I don't like this. I've never understood the mix, but here we are. I'll make it and serve it, but I'm skipping the salad for this Christmas Dinner. What about you? YAY or NAY on Waldorf Salad. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

This is one of the few recipes in Nana's 1943 Cookbook that instructs you to buy the mincemeat at the store but make the sauce yourself. Mince Pie with Hard Sauce. Which hard do we want, Brandy or Sherry? Let me know below. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
