My brother and I loved Tang. It was the drink of astronauts according to the ads back in the day. That excited our little minds.
Yes me too!
I thought it was 2 teaspoons of Tang to 8 ounces of water, not tablespoons.
I've got a ruby red Tang shaker from the sixties. I've never had the drink, though. Now I want to try it.
A staple for us as kids!!!
Loved it!
Honestly I don’t know what’s wrong with people because i find absolutely nothing wrong with canned beans or canned vegetables and there is nothing wrong with dried chives.
I get scolded for all sorts of things! 😂
I know they are a lot more work for you but I love the full day of meals from a decade videos. Thanks for making them.
You're welcome! I'd make one every week if I could! 😀
I’m definitely old enough to remember Tang in the glass jars, and peanut butter in glass jars.
My grandmother’s carrot salad had pineapple tidbits in it. She drank Tang every morning, because she thought if they served it to the astronauts, it must be good for you. I miss her so much!
We had foil dinners probably once a month in the 70s. Mom would put out all the ingredients and then us kids would make our own foil dinner and write our names on the outside. Good times.
That's a great idea!
I love your comment that not every dish has to be mind-blowing. Sometimes we just need to feed people, save some cash, and get out the door. That said, I always enjoy your reviews and book tours and have been revisiting my fairly extensive cookbook collection thanks to your inspo.
I chuckled when you said you added cherries to your fruit cocktail cup--any former child who remembers the bitter disappointment of a fruit cocktail can with one measly cherry in the whole can definitely could tell you added cherries! 😅 I approve!
That nut bread looked perfect for breakfast. Muffins and quick breads are my favorite kind of baking.
I know what you mean. It was always disappointing.
I can actually remember my excitement when Libby’s introduced the “very cherry” version of their fruit cocktail 😂
Yes! Especially when your sibling would get a few in their bowl and you just sat there with little peach and pear cubes😩
And it still is disappointing until today. They have been disappointing us for generations. I call this a feat.
@@tamarac5560 our brand used to put 3 in a tin, but there were two of us so someone always got an extra one and mum had to remember next time who had had the extra one last time
When we would go visit my grandma and grandpa in Tipp City in the 60's, their next door neighbor would always invite my brothers and I over and she would have glasses of Tang waiting for us. It's one of the special memories of my life.
Oh my gosh! You solved the biggest mystery! We grew up on Hot dog S’mores- only we never knew the name we called the hot dog hats! I still get hungry for them and make them! My son also grew up with them! When the recipe was passed around the entire neighborhood and the first time we had them my mom made them twice in one week! We never could find the real name of those…until now! I just made them two weeks ago and added kraut on top-well drained/squeezed dry. Awesome! Thanks, love your videos!
Oh, kraut would MAKE those! Yum!
My family used to call them Dreamboats. We wouldn't bake ours, we'd fry them in Crisco or margarine!
Whaaa! Why have I never thought of cutting out of the middle of bread?!
You’re a genius. 🙂
Thank you! I can't remember exactly where I first picked up this tip, but I've been doing it that way ever since.
It’s croque madam sort of
What a GREAT choice of recipes! A nice bonus for cooking from the old cookbooks is they typically use affordable ingredients, so helpful these days.
So true!! And not a million different ingredients per meal 😅
When I was first married 1975.I used my moms cookbooks and wedding presents to make the suggested meals for a day. From my presents I had all kinds and sizes of cooking and baking! My aunt was a avid baker and excellent cook . She gifted a kitchen pantry and stocked freezer and fridge! The food and appliances!!
Wow! What a wonderful gift.
Oh my gosh, that sounds like an amazing gift! 😊
My aunt filled a box with kitchen staples(flour, sugar, salt, etc) for wedding shower gifts. It was MUCH appreciated.
I know you love party food-an all-time favorite appetizers episode might be fun. Or maybe appetizers through the decades? Bring on the appetizers!
That would be a fun theme for a party - appetizers thru the decades!
Agree!
Yeeesss! That would be awesome! 😊
I agree too! Would love to see an appy episode😍
I graduated high school in 1967 and got married in 1969. I could only make snickerdoodles and popcorn lol Thank goodness for my Betty Crocker cookbook.
Tang! When I was a kid back in the 90's I made a Russian Tea mix with this to give as Christmas presents. I'd forgotten about that, so thanks for bringing back a nice memory for me. 🎄🥰😊
Glad I could help spark a nice memory for you! I still have so much Tang left that I may need to make some Russian Tea mix. 😀
@@cooking_the_books 🤣🤣🤣
On the rare occasions when Mom would buy us Tang in the 1960s, we’d put so much powder in the glass it wouldn’t all dissolve in the water. 😂 Can’t imagine why we only got it as a special treat!
Our downfall was the original Flintstone vitamins. If Mom didn't watch those vitamins, we ate them like candy.
@@loriloristuffDid they stop making the orange flavored kids’ aspirin? My parents put that on the top shelf of the bathroom cupboard, I enjoyed them too much.
@@loriloristuff if you eat 10 flintstone vitamins you go to the ER and they give you activated charcoal and syrup of ipecac. I think you can guess how I know.
Thank you! Thank you for pre-measuring the ingredients. So many videos I turn off early because they show all the prep steps, measuring, running to the back of the kitchen to get ingredients or tools. These presenters must think that their viewers have never cooked anything at all. Most viewers know how to peel veggies/fruits, butter a pan, measure ingredients using a measuring spoons and measuring cups. Thank you again for your interesting material and great videos.
@marinaabad4995 Not in today's world! Maybe people of your generation know how to do all that, but young people of today, nope! I don't mind a presenter measuring items out, but maybe if it's multiple cups or tablespoonsful of something, just skip from the first to the last, making it obvious.
I've even been at friends' homes and watched them cook. Trust me, people don't know what the hell they are doing.
You are so delightful, Anna! I remember my grandma making spiced tea with Tang, instant tea and some spices, it was delicious. Brings back memories of when I was little in the 60s. I just love your channel and all the memories it evokes. More full day meals, please. Hugs and blessings!💗
When I was 7 months pregnant taking a grade 9 class on an overnight hiking trip, I took banana nut bread, peanut butter and fruit for breakfast knowing as a staff member how busy mornings can be and knew I needed something quick and portable in case I didn’t get to eat and honestly I was struggling so much with morning sickness. One of the dad’s saw my bread sitting on the counter and started criticizing who’s parents allowed their child CAKE for breakfast. The other male teacher was telling him with his eyes. Shut up! Shut up! 😂 Then says very supportively, The 7 month pregnant one! She can eat what she wants! The poor dad was backpedaling and apologizing and stuttering. I brought a half loaf knowing that some of my students may not have breakfast and therefore I could share. I still love banana bread.
Oooh. The Pillsbury Bake-Off was a big deal during this era. I so enjoy your content! 😊
Thank you! ❤️
Yes, Tang was *the* thing in the sixties! It and instant tea came in glass jars - orange for Tang and yellow for lemon tea. Gosh, I remember loving that at the time. The only thing to use Tang for now is instant spice tea!
You can also use it to clean your dishwasher!!
I remember Spice Tea, my grandma made it for me often as a little girl in the 60s! So happy someone else remembers it.
@@gopugmama4408I think sometimes it was called Russian tea mix. Loved it!
Yum! Sometimes I like to lightly toast a slice of "plain" sweet bread in my toaster oven. With a little butter.
Sounds great! 😋
I think these vintage cookbooks are still full of wonderful recipes that would suit any modern palette. And so many of them can be easily modified for a change of pace. That quick bread, for instance, would also be great with almonds and a little almond extract, or adding lemon extract and a tablespoon of lemon zest; in any case, a very versatile recipe. Thanks for sharing and cooking with us. I love this series!
When I was a kid, we always had a cruet of white vinegar on the table, specifically to sprinkle on green beans at the table.
In Canada it's still standard and most dinner type places have it on the table, fast food places all have little packets of it too for your food. Most people use it on fries, hash, that type of stuff 🥰 Also my partner is Indonesian and he makes a spicy dip that's just white Vinegar with chillies and spices soaked in, sometimes adds some Kejep or something to it as well. I think it's nice how for our very different cuisines have our own version of the same thing (and we both use both plain vinegar and the spicy version now depending on what we're eating, I converted him to the dark side of acidic fries and he got my spice tolerance to a good level LOL)
My grandmother used white vinegar on her homemade noodles.
My grandfather put vinegar on spinach
Cooked spinach and balsamic vinegar are delicious.
We had green beans with vinegar and butter for supper tonight with my mums receipe for fried chicken. Yum
My toaster oven is the MVP of my kitchen. I use it a lot in the summer to cook without heating up the whole house. It's perfect!
oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i think we are kindred spirits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i ADORE! all the old cook books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could knock back one or two hot dog s'mores right now and be quite happy about it.
This hit me so hard cuz you used the green plates that my granny had! All of the best meals of my life came on those plates. My aunt had the orange/yellow ones you have. My dad loves that carrot salad. That man eats an obscene amount of mayo every month. Has anyone else ever had frozen mixed veggies with a spoonful of mayo instead of butter? It's actually amazing. I love your decade for a day series. I appreciate your take on the chicken. I was watching Ree Drummond and she made a spicy entree, a spicy side, then a spicy sauce. No! One of those needs to be a cooling or calming dish. Meals should be a mix of textures and flavors and not all one thing. I think that chicken would have been great with a creamy or cheesy carb side. Or a flavorful rice pilaf, something like that.
My grandma had those plates, too! Made me instantly think of her when I saw them here.
You're right! I had originally planned a rice side dish to go with the chicken and green beans, but ended up not making it since I wasn't feeling the greatest. 😊
Tang! All i can think of is an old SNL skit w/ Bill Murray. Ancient history.
Great tip for the quick bread. Brillian even. Nice way to keep it fresh all the way through. Wow! They still make Tang! I've been craving Russian Tea, but thought Tang was a thing of the past. My Momma made those hot dog smores when the food budget was low., except she used only one hot dog. Had lots of them when my brother was in college. Thanks for the video. I enjoy the "full day" series.
I used to make the Russian tea mix all the time in the 70's and 80's. I had forgotten about it and just the other day, my husband reminded me about it. I don't know that I have the recipe for it anymore. I'd love to have it again if you would be so kind as to share the recipe.
@@hippietoherbie package of instant iced tea, package of tang, package of lemonade if it wasn’t lemon flavored Iced tea, tablespoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Lipton instant lemon tea has sugar. If you use unsweetened instant tea you need to use sweetened lemonade powder or add sugar to unsweetened lemon koolaid
@@adbreonThank You!
I drink tang as a hot drink, like tea. I’m a 60’s gal. (I’m 76)
We use to drink hot Dr Pepper also. I’m 69. 🤷♀️
I love Tang. I remember when it came out. My husband who is 78 couldn't believe it when I brought it home from the store.
I love it when you do a full day of meals! They are very fun to watch and full of great recipes. I can appreciate that they must be a lot of work - but this is a great video. Having Tang with your breakfast made me laugh - very 60s. I use to drink it a lot as a kid and teen. I was not familiar with the Pillsbury Family Cookbook - the review was very informative. I can’t wait to try the recipes you’ve shared! Thank you for a great video!!
Grew up eating Carrot salad with Raisins. My grandma always shredded the carrots and added the raisin, then poured about a tablespoon of lemon juice and black pepper to it and let it sit til dinner time. Just before serving she added a little mayo. Delicious. The raisins plump up with the soaking in lemon juice with the carrots.
I also entered the world in 1963, and I feel that dried chives were definitely a feature of my childhood. So, just chalk it up to authenticity 😉.
Yes! I like the way you think. 😁
Do you remember "friendship bread"? Breakfast breads (as opposed to coffeecake, etc.,) used to be a thing, and your recipe is definitely one of them.
Also; the chicken may have been meant to be extra for leftovers. "Budget homemaking" was a big thing, and cooking early in the week and multipurposing leftovers was very common.
"Friendship bread" is so called because it's a "starter" bread, and you're supposed to share your starter; if you don't, you end up with a freezer full of bread that you then have to try to give away. The starter had fruit and sugar in it, but there wasn't a whole lot of additional sugar added.
How do you make the starter?
@@ixchelkali Thank you so much!
Love the way you cut the banana bread. Going to start doing this. Tang, love it - chilled. Grew up eating carrot/raisin salad (sans peanuts) and still make it. Canned green beans are fine! I don't like the French cut only because I think they cook too soft. Great cookbook review! My "test" for catch-all cookbooks was to check the banana bread recipe. Not enough bananas, I'm putting it back.
I thought my mom was crazy and made up that hot dog recipe😂 That was a staple of my childhood in the 80’s!
Oh my gosh, the carrot salad brought back memories. It was one of the first salads I learned to make as a child in the 70's, although instead of using peanuts, I was taught to make it with diced apple. The peanuts seem intriguing though and I'll definitely have to try it that way. Something as simple as a carrot salad with minimal ingredients can be so tasty. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! I'll have to try my carrot salad with some diced apples next time. 😊
Just love your style. 😁 You crack me up when you crack yourself up. 😂 Thanks for taking us through a day in the 1960s!
That Pillsbury Cookbook I received at a bridal shower in 1970. I still have it.
great tip about the quick bread cutting. loved the pie page with the text following the pie outlines! very cool, thank you
I own this book! This was the book my mom cooked out of when I was a kid. It's in my cabinet now. The only recipes I use are the cookie recipe. Peanut butter cookies are the 💣
OMG! I LOVE THAT OWL TOOTHPICK HOLDER! 🦉
It was originally from Target years ago, but my mom found it for me at a closeout store! 😊
Yay! I was recently given my Mom's binder copy of this cookbook. Funny thing is, my mom used to make those hot dogs all the time but she just put the potato and cheese on top, no extra hot dog. I think we just called them hot dog boats or something like that. I recently asked her where the recipe came from and she didn't know. Perhaps it was from this book. 🙂
Cutting the bread in the center is genius!
I remember the foil packet craze of the 90s star recipe was cooking your salmon filet wrapped in foil, in the dishwasher 😂 keep in mind, "multi tasking" was the buzz phrase at the time 🥴
I LOVED Tang as a kid ... my Grandma always gave us a glass at breakfast in the '70s.
Fresh chives weren’t showing up in my family’s kitchen, ever. Putting dinner on the table was about feeding people, not having a restaurant worthy experience. We were lucky to have favorite foods once in a while.
My mother grew her own chives in the 60s. We got fed too, somehow.
My mom planted chives next to our back door back in the 60s and I'm pretty sure they were still growing when they sold their house in the 90s. Those babies grew everywhere! Definitely not an expensive or hard-to-get ingredient.
> I remember one time on Johnny Carson, Vincent Price cooked Trout wrapped-in-foil with olive-oil & herbs. The only difference was he cooked it inside a Dishwasher !!!
I think cutting the bread like that is genius!
Loved this episode! It was kind of nostalgic even though we never had these exact dishes. As far as dried herbs are concerned that’s what my Mom used them 95% of the time and I still use them frequently. I think dried and fresh herbs give different flavor profiles and one’s not better than the other. I think it’s just a matter of personal preference and availability.
I use them all the time. Things like chives, thyme, and rosemary are great dried. Parsley and some of the delicate ones aren’t though.
Clever cutting hack, cut down the middle, i wish this was out yesterday before i cut my wheat loaf🍞🔪
Thanks! I can't remember where I picked up this tip, but have been doing it that way ever since.
I would send my brother "Tang" in a care package while he was in Vietnam. ( it was in a plastic container)
My mom used to make hot dogs topped with leftover mashed potatoes and cheese on top and baked. She would also stuff hot dogs with cheese and wrap with bacon and bake. Not the best nutritionally, but a quick easy meal we enjoyed.
Fond memories.
😮Those beans look nice too! All these vintage recipes are always so tasty looking and full of easy to get ingredients and less than 20 steps to make 😅maybe I'm watching the wrong things but I swear all the popular cooking vids especially short form have loads of expensive ingredients, a million steps and take an hour to prep
I definitely want to make the Hot Dog smores, some BBQ sauce will go great with them. 😋
Tang! What a treat. My grandma used to call any pre-mixed drink (including Tang) "Freshie", which I think was the Canadian equivalent.
I use dried chives all the time. I don’t use chives often enough so to me it’s easier to have on hand instead of buying fresh everytime. Use what you like.. don’t worry about what other people think
The Hot Dog S’mores is VERY reminiscent of Betty Crockers Snow Capped Peaks in her children’s cookbook from back in the day.
My mom use to make these, great for dinner or lunches at home 😁
Reynolds wrap id have small cook booklets with fabulous recipes. Their potato salad is my family's go to. I reminder there was an excellent gingerbread snack cake and maybe a rice pudding that was really delicious.
I like to add sliced banana to fruit cocktail, too. Just goes so nicely with it. Fun video! I enjoy watching you day of meals from a decade videos. Thank you for the extra work that goes into this.
My Mom made the hot dogs covered with left over mashed potatoes and cheese then in the oven . We loved them!! i made them when my kids were little. We never put a hot dog on top . Oh and I'm a child of the 60's......
I actually think your cutting from the middle of the loaf is brilliant! 😄
Your carrot salad is missing one vital ingredient… peanut butter! Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it, y’all. 😁 With the addition of the peanut butter, the peanuts are not required. Otherwise, the ingredients are the same. Carrot salad is still one of the salads from my childhood that I love the most, and still make to this day.
Ooo.... My childhood brought back to life lol. ☺️
We used to toast that bread and put margarine on it. Back then they told us margerine was healthier - it was certainly cheaper!
Definitely want to make the hot dog s'mores. I may do that for family night when my daughter and granddaughter come over.
Also, let's talk about the Better Homes & Garden's Handyman's Book. That looks very interesting.
Awesome video! First.. during the breakfast portion of the video, the grey shirt and your glasses look absolutely fantastic on you!! Grey looks so good on you! The music you chose at 14:15 is soo perfect! :) I love the way you explain the flavors of the recipe because I was doubting the peanuts in the carrot salad until you said they added a nice salty crunch, .. and I thought ooooohh, yeah ok - salty from the peanuts, sweet from the carrots and raisins.. now I want to try making it that way (along with the hotdog smores!). As usual, your videos are so great and I look forward to every single one you put out there. I appreciate all the thought, time, and hard work you put into them to make them entertaining and informative for all of us.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed this one. ❤️
My parent added walnuts instead. Just watching you make it, yucca. But I’ve felt that way my entire life.😂
Way to make the sketch inspire you and leave off what doesn’t. I tend to freeze up when I see big shapes and not try the sketch, but you have done it!
That’s got to be a Costco chicken breast because it was there that I discovered chickens must now be the size of Tom turkeys. That is one huge breast.
I believe it either came from Aldi or Meijer. I can't remember! 😅
This is almost exactly like a recipe I got from a 1980 Air Force Wives cook book, it is named Butterscotch Walnut Bread. I half the amount of butter and add 1/4 C applesauce to cut the fat since I am going to butter that bread up! Yum!
I remember when Tang came on the market, with a big advertising campaign that touted how it was created for the space program for the astronauts to take on the Apollo missions. This was a big deal in the 60's and the kids in my family were very excited when my American aunt bought some for us.
Omg what a blast from the past :Tang! What a great fun budget friendly hot dog recipe that is. Carrot raisin salad is big in the south. So tasty. I use dried chives as a hotel butter for fish and steak. A stick of softened butter couple tablespoon of dried chive and some lemon pepper. Mix it all together tgen roll it into a log in plastic wrap and freeze it. Just slice a piececoff to finish on top of steak or fish done however you want. It has a really good flavor. Thanks Anna hope you are feeling better.🎉
Thank you! I am feeling better now. I just had a sneaky headache and absolutely could NOT deal with trying to go out to the store. 😂
The child of the 70s in me was reminded of how much I used to love canned French green beens but the 2024 woman I have become is screaming WTF at the same canned green beans. LOL
Hot dog smores, too funny. When I was in girl scouts and in 4th grade we made hot dog chowder. It was basically sliced hotdogs sliced up and diced potatoes and onions in milk. I remember making it for my parents as a meal with brownies and some kind of muffin. I was so dang proud of myself. I can imagine my poor parents just trying to be polite and probably sneaking some food sometimes.
I love these videos of a full day of meals. So glad you did this one.
So happy you enjoyed it! 😊
I think premeasuring works for your videos. I find your videos easy to follow.
That nut bread looks scrumptious. I think it needs butter.
Tang! What the astronauts drink! There were other flavors in the late 60s and 70s. My favorite was grapefruit Tang.
Love the carrot salad! The hot dog s'mores is kind of like something we made in Girl Scout camp. In Betty Crocker's cookbook (1950s), there's a recipe that involves cutting a hole the long way down a whole potato, sticking a hot dog in the hole, and boiling the whole mess. I like the hot dog s'mores better.
I love dried chives! So versatile! Again, this is a recipe I remember from Girl Scouts. I wonder, if we learned this in the late 60s and early 70s, if the leaders leafed through cookbooks and said, "Aha! Something kids could make!"
Love the Joseph Joseph scoop strainer!
Thank you for another great video, and adding a highlight to my Sunday.
born in 1960, never had tang until !was 17. I drank tomato juice or V-8 for breakfast when I had breakfast. I started drinking orange juice when I was 40 and diluted the juice with water. Half and half, it's the only way to drink orange juice.
My mother squeezed oranges for breakfast juice every day! Even now, I cannot abide any orange juice that is not freshly squeezed.
Born in 1966 and to this day I have never had Tang. I’m a tomato girl and only drank tomato juice as far back as I can remember. Now I don’t drink juice and just make green smoothies 🤷🏼♀️
my grandmother has always made fish in tin foil with lemon, dill, sliced onion, and salt and pepper. sometimes she would cook over the fire and the fish always had such a a great taste from the smokiness.
That sounds wonderful! 😊
My childhood. I have the binder edition. It is well loved😊 my mom gave us the bread hot with butter or honey. Delicious.
We did the chicken in foil outside. Works great at a campfire.
I am fascinated by the hotdog topping of potato flakes and butter! I want to try that on all sorts of things.
I'd forgotten about potato flakes! The frankfurter s'mores are intriguing. Tang's great appeal was that the astronauts drank it.
You are right, the idea of the plain herb buttered chicken is good except for one detail...the chicken skin. You just end up seasoning the skin which doesn't get crispy due to foil packet. Those green beans! I've been doing similar for years... frozen green beans in covered skillet, when almost cooked (your preferred level) add a couple tablespoons of any Italian dressing and then some parmesan or goat cheese. Get fancy and throw on some slivered almonds. So quick and easy and they reheat really well for leftovers. Great episode and thanks for the content.
I appreciate your pre-measuring the ingredients ahead of time. I dislike when people waste time measuring on camera. It just seems very disorganized to me. Thank you the extra time it takes for you to do that in addition to the extra dishes!
We grew up on Tang. Especially when we went camping. Delicious.
The hotdog s’mores would be an easy way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. We usually end up with things like that after holidays or other big family gatherings
Tang definitely came in a glass jar. We didn't drink it a lot but sometimes brought it on camping trips (1980s).
I'm sorry you weren't feeling great, hope that whatever it was resolved quickly!
Thank you! Just a sneaky headache. 😊
I was looking on Etsy for this book, there are a few binder editions up for sale, kind of expensive on some but shop around a bit and you might find one just right for you.
I usually watch your videos on my tv to learn how to cook. I love vintage cook books. After being on the market for a Pillsbury yeast donut technical manual recently, this cookbook did catch my attention and I thought I’d leave a comment. I really enjoy learning from your videos and it’s cool to see you make and review these recipes! Also props for being one of the only creators.. to not use an ugly apron LOL 😅
Hi Anna this was interesting I was 10 on 1960. Never had or heard of hot dog s’mores but will try it. We did cut our dog and fried them.
We appreciated the tip of cutting the bread 👍
Hooray!!! 😃
I loved carrot and raisin salad as a child. I forgot about it for the last 50 years or so. I recently made it and really enjoyed it.
Buttermilk is awesome if you have chicken you want to fry. Doesn’t matter if you’re making homemade tenders, nuggets, or fried chicken. Soak your chicken in buttermilk, and it will be nice and tender, and add extra flavor.
Foil dinners in the 60s were a staple for every camp out. We did something similar to the hotdogs, except it was sliced, cooked sausage topped with mashed potato and cheese.
My mom made the Hot Dog Smores often, except we never called them that. Never knew that there was a name for it.. Sometimes she would substitute cheese with corn. We always had ours open faced. One of our favorites growing up!
Hi Anna, it's pretty great that the recipes from this book are not heavily featuring Pillsbury products. The bread looked really good. I too find many 'quick bread' recipes to be more like cake than bread. The hot dog s'more was really interesting and definitely fun! The carrot salad looked more interesting too because of the addition of the salted peanuts, I have never seen that in a carrot salad and there wasn't an excessive amount of mayonnaise. I'm not a great fan of chicken so I doubt I would have liked that one. Btw I loved your blue sweater with the flowers at the end, so pretty!
The nut bread would be great sliced and grilled in butter, YUM.
great memories in my 60's kitchen with my grandma cooking. never used croutons in green beans, we always used french fried onions. that's if i hadn't eaten the whole can already, they're just too addictive. love this video, anna : )
