Today I’m taking the vintage quest to New Mexico. I have a copy of a cook book named New Mexico Cookin’, published in 1976. Notice the cost was $1.29. I challenge you to find a new cookbook for so little money. This book came from the collection of my hubby’s great-aunt Esther. She was a very […]
Welcome! Today we are visiting vintage again. My Better Homes And Gardens Cook Book to be precise. This particular copy is the sixteenth printing, from August 1936. 76 years ago…wow!
Today I am taking a break from posting a vintage recipe as it is Miss T’s 18th birthday! I’ve got a fun vintage salad recipe coming up but today I bring you Chocolate Swirl-Espresso Cheesecake.
I’m getting a kick out of reading the recipes in my old cook books. I admit it’s a bit of a challenge to find ones that I want to make and know we will enjoy eating. The book I used today is The Lily Wallace New American Cook Book. Lily Haxworth Wallace is listed as […]

With April being declared the month of sweets I don’t seem to be posting as often as I would like. The flip side to that thought is, I would have too many sweets covering the kitchen counter or the dining table and filling up my tummy.
Spring Break! It’s half over. UGH! That went waaaaay too fast. I’ll be taking a short break from blogging for the next few days. If you too are on spring break I hope you are making the most of it and having a ball at whatever you are doing. Miss T and I will be […]
