Ginger Beans with Spam
Oh yeah, it's that time again! Welcome to this week's Mid-Century Menu, where I take a recipe from my collection of vintage cookbooks, cook it, and force my husband to eat it for dinner. The catch is, we don't pick a recipe because it looks good. We pick it because...
The Egg “Penguins”
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Time for the Mid-Century Menu, where normally I make something horrible from one of my vintage cookbooks and force my husband to eat it. However, this week I decided to post a cute recipe just sent to me by Sablemable, which I just made...
Meatloaf Nests Filled With Creamed Peas
Welcome to this week's Mid-Century Menu, where I find the strangest mid-century recipe I can and I cook it up and serve it to my husband, who will eat pretty much anything. And most of the time it is even edible. This week's recipe comes from Warm Weather Meals for 2...
Mince Meat Ham Loaf
Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's mid-century menu. This week I tried a recipe from one of my new cookbooks that I recently bought at the Midland Antiques Festival. I was lucky enough to find a whole pile of these little cookbooks for pretty cheap at one...
Peachy Spam Dinner Loaf
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means! It's time for this week's Mid-Century Menu, where I crack open one of my many, many mid-century cookbooks and look for the most unappetizing meal I can find. I cook it and serve it for dinner to my husband, who always...
Bologna Papooses Were…Really Good?
Happy Wednesday, everyone! You know what this means. Hubs and I have eaten a meal I chose out of a mid-century cookbook, not for it's promise of deliciousness, but for it's weird and sometimes disgusting ingredients. We ate it, and we lived to tell about it. Our meal...
Peanut Butter and Bacon Hot Dogs
Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's edition of the Mid-Century Menu, where I cook terrible mid-century recipes and force Hubs...blah blah blah. You know, I need to come up with a new intro, because frankly, Hubs is starting to enjoy this. He gets a fiendish...
Spamcakes
Welcome to this week's edition of Mid-Century Menu, where I willingly make mid-century recipes that I know will be terrible or inedible, and then Hubs and I eat them for dinner. Most of the time we can even eat all of them. This week we have a special treat. Last...
Frosted Sandwich Loaf
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Mid-Century Menu, a small torture that I foist on my husband every week in which I find the weirdest mid-century recipe I can from my collection of vintage cookbooks, make it, and then force him to eat it. Poor Hubs. This week's recipe...
Washington Cream Pie
Welcome to this week's Mid-Century Menu! Normally, this is where I cook a terrifiying recipe from the 1950s or 1960s and serve it to my poor husband for dinner, but if you have been reading my blog this week you know that I am visiting my parents in Wisconsin. So,...
Tuna Royals
Hello, everyone! Welcome to Mid-Century Menu, the weekly Wednesday post in which I pick a mid-century recipe to cook and serve for dinner from my vast collection of vintage cookbooks. And it is usually an "interesting" recipe. Interesting as in, who would have ever...
Frankfurter Pie
Happy Wednesday everyone! Welcome to Mid-Century Menu, where every week I reproduce a vintage recipe as accurately as possible, and then force my husband to choke it down no matter how bad it is. Even though he has started to enjoy it, for some strange reason....
