No-Knead Oatmeal Bread – 1971

So, it's been a while guys. Anyone who's ever been a teacher will know that school will sometimes zap the mental and physical energy straight out of your system. Plus, my experiment with Youtube, while fun, took way too much time. I'd rather be looking through my cookbooks or actually cooking, thanks. But I'm back…

Butterscotch Heaven

So, school has started back, with even more chaos and exhaustion than usual. And... well... I'm exhausted. Is it too early to be admitting that? Surely it's too early for that to be starting... Whether or not I should be this tired yet, it's not going to change the fact that I've felt like a…

Devil’s Food Pudding – 1976

So, I'd always heard that you could do bread in a slow cooker, but I'd never really tried it before. And, to be honest, the idea of slow cooker bread still wasn't calling to me. However, I have a sweet tooth, and the idea of a crockpot desert is something I could definitely get behind.…

Celery Salmon Loaf – 1952

I'm continuing with the vintage Cambell's soup recipes this week, because as I was flipping through the Cooking with Condensed Soups cookbook I just kept running into doozies. I've been planning to do this one for a while. This week we'll be looking at a Celery Salmon Loaf with Celery Sauce. Yup, we technically have…

Sour Creamed Pot Roast – 1976

[And, this week is another reposting, back from the original Time Capsule Cooking blog. This week has been.... busy. Professional development courses can be exhausting.] I have a confession to make: Despite cooking for years, and working, before now I’ve never actually used a slow cooker. Well, I’ve used one. Mostly just plugging the thing…

Vintage Cookbook | Cooking with Condensed Soups – 1952

So, it should be no secret to anyone that thrifting is a hit-or-miss activity. Sometimes you come away with absolutely nothing... a lot of times you come away with nothing... but sometimes you find pure gold. This find was very shiny indeed. Well, not literally. It was actually pretty dusty. But that's beside the point.…

Spicy Shortcake with Applesauce – 1952

Wow, the title of this one really sounds innocent, considering the ingredients involved. Well, one ingredient at least. You see, this is one of the variations to the famous Campbell's Tomato Soup Cake. Yes, you heard me right. Now, evidently the tomato soup cake was first invented in the 1920s, but this cookbook, according to…

Pink Salad

Follow my blog with Bloglovin So, this week's recipe is a little different. Normally, I pull one of my cookbooks out of the closet I've crammed all of them into and flip through, seeing what strikes me. And... well, to be honest I just didn't want to dig through the collection this week. I didn't…

Vintage Cookbook | Easy Oven Meals from Betty Crocker – 1984

I must admit, I've noted that the closer a cookbook is to the current era, the more normal it seems. It makes sense. Tastes change gradually after all. And, comfort food and some questionable TikTok recipes aside, the more current the recipe the higher the chance its going to fall in line with what people…

Chocolate-banana Shortcake – 1984

Last week, over on Instagram, I asked everyone what they would like me to try next.... unfortunately I couldn't get everything written out on the poll correctly so the two choices were tomatoed fish or simply chocolate banana. Not very descriptive, that last one, is it? I'll do better next time around. Despite the uncertainty…
