I wrote about this eight cookbook set from Better Homes and Gardens on my blog, Quaint Cooking, today. They are called the Better Homes and Gardens Creative Cooking Library and are from 1963. You may remember that I used one of the menus from the second volume, Birthdays and Family Celebrations for my 60s Thanksgiving meal I posted about on my blog. If you want to know why these were created, where you could buy them and see old newspaper ads from the 1960s, then check out my blog.

The next installment of my trips into gelatin cookery: 7 Up salad! I finally posted a recipe for the dish I made for Christmas. This particular recipe was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The recipe is a mixture of lemon and lime gelatin, nuts, pineapple, cream cheese and of course 7 Up. It may not be pretty but it was quite tasty. Recipe is on the my blog Quaint Cooking.

Today I shared actress Rochelle Hudson’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Though her film career started in the 1930s, most probably will remember her role as Natalie Wood’s mother in Rebel Without a Cause. This cake is easy and delicious. It might actually be my favorite of the celebrity recipes so far! Check out the recipe on my blog Quaint Cooking.

I delve into the history of Wacky Cake on Quaint Cooking. You may know this dessert by Crazy, Cockeyed or Wonder Cake. This is a stupidly easy cake to make that can be mixed right in the pan and does not use any eggs. It is definitely not the prettiest cake but it is rather tasty. Check it out through the link in my bio. #chocolatecake #pyrex #pyrexlove #springblossompyrex #avocadogreen #easyrecipes #vintagerecipes #bakestagram #cakerecipes #egglessbaking #vintage #foodblogger #foodblog #quaintcooking

Here are some quick pictures of the two homemade cookbooks that I shared in my story. These were found on Etsy and are from the late 1940s to early 1950s. I am so glad that the seller saw the potential in them! I can’t wait to pour over every page!!!!! I am sure there are some hidden gems in there. #1940s #forties #1950s #fifties #homemade #vintagerecipes #vintagecookbooks #homemadecookbook #magazineclippings #iamsoexcited #vintagemagazine #oldeecipes #quaintcooking

I am sharing two great finds: a Fire King Anchorwhite oval casserole with candle warmer practically new in box and a George Briard chafing dish. The chafing dish is another mismarked item found at an antique store. The tag said it was missing a lid but I guess that the booth owners just did not know it was a chafing dish. Lucky for me as then I got it for only $15 which is pretty good for George Briard. One or both will be featured in something I am planning next month on Quaint Cooking. Last two pictures are of the cheese ball that I finally got around to posting the recipe on the blog. I already shared a version of it on Christmas Day on Instagram as it was one of the items I brought to the holiday dinner. #fireking #georgebriard #chafingdish #anchorwhite #midcentury #1950s #1960s #vintage #retro #cheeseball ##vintagefinds #vintageshopping #quaintcooking
