I’m Evelyn’s daughter and she would adore you and your videos. She had cookbooks from every decade and was a master at making pies of every kind. Thank you Anna!
Peanut Butter and Bacon on white bread toast was a STAPLE in my family growing up! It is ooey gooey and delicious! It did not have mayo on it but I have seen BLTs with mayo and peanut butter at sandwich shops though.
I’m intrigued, too. I’m currently out of bread, so I hope I remember this idea when I get another loaf. Sounds like a “man” meal. 😊 I just love the headlight on your mixer.
My dad absolutely loved bacon and pb sandwiches! Also, as a once or twice a year special treat he would top a waffle with bacon and pb....and a scoop of ice cream, preferably maple pecan. I also enjoyed the sandwiches, but the waffle concoction was his unique treat.
I have a copy of the McCall's cookbook from 1963. It's wonderful. My copy once belonged to an elderly neighbor who went into a nursing home after her health got bad. Her kids were planning to trash her cookbook collection as they cleaned out her house. I saved them. That day my old cookbook collection got an incredible boost. She had dozens of old cookbooks from the 1940s through the 1990s. 😊
Omg, that's awesome! That lady will live on as long as her cookbooks are being used. Please make the recipes that are bookmarked or checked off. Those are her special dishes.
Those cupcakes look amazing! A dear friend of mine passed away in March, and today her husband gave me her mini cupcake baking pan. This thing makes 48 mini cupcakes! She must have made big batches for church dinners over the years. I think McCall's Best Chocolate Cupcakes would be a good recipe to inaugurate the pan for myself. We remember so many loved ones along with our food memories. I hope your friend Renee will find joy using her grandma's cookbook.
I'm so sorry for your loss.That's such a thoughtful gift to remember her by! I'm sure she'll be peering over your shoulder when you make that first batch of cupcakes.
So true! I always feel like my departed loved ones are in the kitchen with me as I make up Mom’s Swedish pancakes, Aunt Betty’s meatloaf, Aunt Doris’s banana bread, Aunt Helen’s lemon bars or Aunt Mary’s Chicken Divan. I use Grandma’s Pyrex bowls of course (blue, red, green and yellow) and sometimes even shed a few tears. There’s really nothing like cooking to bring back memories, for me at least!❤
Use an OXO good grips cookie scoop to make even cupcakes. I have a mini muffin pan from my grandma and that's what I do. Hope your cupcakes turn out great!
I am fixated on what I think is a cookie jar on the bookshelf. (The yellow one on the shelf by your head in the recap section of the video.). I absolutely LOVE it!
I used to have a tea room. And when you started making the pineapple/pecan sandwich, I was thinking ohhh that would make a great tea sandwich. Definately making it at my next little tea party with friends!!!
@@luvzdogz Brioche sounds great, but I don't think I want anything to fancy to take away from the flavor of the filling. I was also thinking with the orange zest in the mix, a lovely orange bread loaf sliced very thin would be lovely!
I have 2 first editions of that McCall’s cookbook! The first one was my Momma’s and it’s held together with duct tape because she wore it out and stretched it out cramming hand written and newspaper recipes. My late husband bought me the identical one off eBay many, many years ago. Mine is pristine! Mine have the teal blue covers. I think they were originally available in a choice of colors: yellow, red, and teal ( blue green)
I have just recently found your channel and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I was born in 1956 and remember alot of the cookbooks you talk about. Just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your channel.
If you're familiar with the first Betty Crocker cookbook (1952?), nearly all of the cake recipes use the reverse creaming method. They called it the "double quick method." That cookbook's cake section is a little confusing at first. The reverse creaming method is on the left-hand page. On the right-hand page is the same recipe, using today's more familiar mixing method. (Fat+sugar+eggs first...) They gave you a choice of your preferred method. Supposedly, reverse creaming produces a cake with a better texture. 😊
This weirdly reminds me of Shirley Jackson's novels. The way she wrote about her era's little lunches and picnics always made me want to try them, despite the disturbing settings.
Oh my gosh, we had a grocery store 1955-1985 and back then we need an ice man that was a business, for our soda case . I think it lasted 3 days. I remember him coming and that huge piece of ice was heavy and he was a short man but that did not deter him. By 1961 we got an electric soda case.😀
My go-to egg salad is mayo, mustard, and sweet pickle relish added to grated hard boiled eggs. But I'm not going to pretend that it's the one true way to make egg salad! It's just my favorite. When making a sandwich out of it, that's when I crack some black pepper over it.
Simple egg salad is one of my go to sandwiches. We thrifted a brand new Cuisinart egg cooker that makes the most perfect hard boiled eggs. I love that little appliance so much, lol. Great video as always, Anna!
Great sandwich spread ideas! Now, I understand why Nana always prepared Papa's sandwiches w/ butter, then the mustard and fixings. Doesn't soak the bread... nice. The lunchboxes are wicked! Thank you for today! Peace Oh... the lemon Marange pie! Nana did that one justice too!
Every recipe for my 2023 Christmas family dinner came from the McCalls 1963 cookbook and every recipe was a winner. The applesauce cake is delicious and the pork loin pineapple dish was superb. The apple cabbage slaw was also wonderful. The cookbook is timeless and an excellent one to use all these years later. I have the orange cover, so groovy! Thanks for using it in this video. So nice to remember your friend’s grandmother in a special way.
When you made the pineapple nut cream cheese spread, I knew exactly what it tasted like. My mom would make crustless finger sandwiches with it in the early 60's for get together with her friends. All the recipes sounded really yummy.
I really enjoyed this one. My youngest granddaughter refuses to eat in the school cafeteria. She’s a picky eater so fixing her lunch is a challenge for sure. I have 2 of the cute little holders with the separate side for dip. I bought them several years ago. Celery and carrots with ranch dip or peanut butter and celery have been carried in these little containers for a while. I look forward to your videos. They are so much fun. 👍🏻☺️
Another great one, Anna😃 Haven’t been able to watch much lately as we finally found a house after losing ours in the 2023 flood on the Central Coast. It’s cool and vintage and we’re remodeling the inside🤗 But I’m back😃and getting motivated to be able to cook again 😉👍 You’re great at motivating and I just love your videos so much☺️ Thanks 👍😃🕊
Wow. When I came upon your channel I was mesmerized because I thought I was the only one who bought and used those old school grocery store little cook books. I remember being on a tangent in the 80's of making and feeding the family recipes from the famous Pillsbury Bake Off. I was really on a trip. It was very dramatic and like a show. HA. Thank you so much for caring, too, about such things. You are a good girl. Love, your friend, Eileen
I don't usually feel the need to buy vintage cookbooks because I'm not very good about using my modern cookbook but this video made me want Mccall's!! Great video
Your shelves are a feast for the eyes!!! I love trying to recognize the cookbooks and all of the different canisters and accessories and oh my!!! A video "tour" of your shelves would be a great treat - how you organize your vast, varied and growing collection!! You've given me a new appreciation for trying new recipes, especially weird sounding ones that might have intimidated me previously. You add lightheartedness and wholesome fun to a troubled world!
I also always have chopped pimientos in my fridge, but its because i have a lot of cookbooks from the midcentury like yourself and almost every "fancy" or "spanish" recipe includes them 😂
My daughter has a similar lunch box like that, my grandson takes it to school. He threw the silverware away the first time he brought it to school. He's 8 😊
Aww I was born in 1963!! My Mom always read McCalls.magazine .! Loved this video. All of the recipes looked yummy ! Especially the cupcakes. They were beautiful 🧁❤
The red and white lunchbox is a bento box. And I think I'd have to make the egg salad with scrambled eggs, if I made it. And I may! It actually looked delicious. 😋 (I'm not a fan of most egg salads. I don't like hard-boiled egg white.) I think the pineapple spread is more of a cracker spread. At least that's how it looks to me.
I began cooking years ago from this cookbook. It was my Moms that she handed down to me when i got married. I still have it. Wonderful recipes in this book! 🙂
I paused to try to read the recipe below the egg salad: peanut butter 'n' bacon sandwiches. I know people do combine those savory and sweet flavors but I also saw in the recipe sweet pickle relish and mayo. Hmmm I'm not sure about that!! LOL
Yes, I was looking at that one and the pickle relish really threw me off. 😂 I’ve had peanut butter and bacon sandwiches and they are so darn good and definitely diet friendly 😂 but not so sure about the relish or mayo.
A twist on those sandwiches: grill them like grill cheese, you will taste the differences and wonder why you haven't done it before. I would love to see the cooked icing on a cake, brownie, or ever a cookie. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
How sweet of you to dedicate this video to your friend's grandmother Evelyn's memory! Today's recipes all sound delicious. I've always wanted to try deviled eggs, and this seems to be a great way to do just that.😊
love the lunch boxes! they were both so cute! While i'd love to try the sandwiches you made (they looked delicious), i was way more interested in that peanut butter and bacon sandwich recipe under the egg sandwhich recipe. i'm gonna look that recipe up and try it. I LOVE PB anything.
I love the McCall’s Cookbook, and I’m glad you featured it again.Also, the dedication was touching. I can’t wait to try these recipes - I’m always looking for sandwiches spreads - and especially since they are meatless - nice to have more meatless options. Thank you for a great video.
This seems like a special cookbook- one to keep an eye out for. Thanks for another interesting video, Anna. And sending thoughts to your friend Renee in memory of her Grandmother Evelyn.
Mine is red..lol I have been using my book since I got married in 1982. It is my go to book since then. Mine is the NEW MCCalls Cook Book. I also have all the paper backs that were a monthly subscription. They also have been used alot!!!
Most cooking videos, I tend to skip the tag end of the video. But yours are so thoroughly enjoyable, that I very very rarely do. Thank you for another great video and for sharing this time with us. You're slowly inspiring me to take on new cooking challenges which has been a long road for me. Keep up the good work.
I was in the HomeGoods store by me last week and they have containers and lunch sets just like the one that you showed; I’m assuming they might be a different brand, but they look exactly the same, and I got a few. I love them! Especially the little lunch set with the fork, knife, and spoon- I’ve been using it a lot to bring to work. Great video, thank you!
Speaking on the runniness of the egg salad, you chose to chop your egg, my mother, a caterer, would often grate eggs for salad and increasing the surface area may have made the salad less loose
Who else remembers their 1st lunchbox? Mine was Roger Rabbit & I hated it but it was all Momma could afford as a single parent. I wanted the Strawberry Shortcake & Care Bears one so bad!😂
Hello! Completely enjoying your channel. I have a copy of Woman's Home Companion Cookbook, circa 1946 that I grabbed for $1 at a thrift store. Very in depth and interesting piece of work. It weighs in at three pounds. A mix of color and black and white photos. Tons of techniques. I recently looked in it for a German potato salad recipe. I could only find one called a "hot potato salad." I wonder if it was due to the timing of the release? There is so much more to vintage cookbooks than the recipes, for certain. :)
Flavour combo for white cake or white icing for me is: equal parts: vanilla, lemon, and almond. All real not artificial flavourings. Thank u so much for this great video. Evelyn should be proud of her shout out. Ur so kind.
0:44 oh my gosh! I think I had those checkered books that are laying on the side in a stack. They came as a boxed set with a mini book/pamphlet for mixed drinks. I regret re-donating them a little bit, but I think someone was excited to find them.
How kind of you to dedicate this video to your friend's Grandma. Loved the recipes. Can't wait to try the nut pineapple spread & cupcakes. I'd like to try substituting coconut shortening. It would be a healthier choice and I think it would add a mild coconut flavor to compliment the cocoa.
I don’t know what I loved more from this video, the recipes or your cute little lunch containers!!! I have a ton of containers and use different ones based on what I’m bringing for lunch. The days I’m in the office. I try really hard not to spend extra money on buying lunch and it does help if my boring lunch is at least in a cute container. My mum always put butter on all our sandwiches so I do that too. Oh and one of the best sandwiches ever is raisin bread and cheese slices (the famous ones wrapped in plastic) .🥪🥒🍎🍉🍪
I too always have pimentos. My grocery store sells a cream cheese pineapple spread like that in a tub with the pimento cheese. Think I might try that recipe next time!
Thsnk you for your wonderful videos. I watch with great anticipation from here in the UK. I love your 60s-80s videos. Im not sure if she ever made it to the U.S but would love to see you try some Indian recipees from the BBC chief Madhur Jaffrey. I know she had some cook books in the 70s and 80s but I also know a lot of her recipees and cooking shows are on the BBC archives and on youtube and showcase bringing the Indian diet to the UK when our diets began to open up to World cuisine in the 70s and 80s more than times before this
Mine did. She split them down the middle and put the frosting on the inside instead of on top, so the frosting didn't stick to the Handiwrap or wax paper.
I love a good sandwich and a picnic. My egg salad is pretty plain also. I might add powdered mustard for a devilled egg. Love the lunchbox. I have the Tupperware one, with all the little containers. Also used a cooler one for years at work because we had no fridge. I'd bring a paper plate because I didn't like eating out of the box or on waxed paper.
I love your videos! The nut pineapple cream cheese recipe does sound delicious for bagels or nut breads … yum… I need to try it ! And now I need to try pimentos in my egg salad!
I believe I have this cookbook and if I do, I inherited it from my grandmother. Mine is the blue one, which would have matched her kitchen. Now I need to look at home...
I’m Evelyn’s daughter and she would adore you and your videos. She had cookbooks from every decade and was a master at making pies of every kind. Thank you Anna!
At 2:38 I see a recipe for Peanut Butter and Bacon Sandwiches, and I am INTRIGUED

Sounds like that dip might go well with cucumbers as well. Perhaps as a sandwich spread for a cucumber sandwich.
Great idea!!!!!!
@@cherriaydelotte8327 I agree!
Oh! Need to give that a try!
I am fixated on what I think is a cookie jar on the bookshelf. (The yellow one on the shelf by your head in the recap section of the video.). I absolutely LOVE it!
Looks like L'il Guys is still in business and they still have the egg salad sandwich on Hawaiian Rolls - I'll be checking that place out soon!
YAY so glad to hear they’re still around!
I used to have a tea room. And when you started making the pineapple/pecan sandwich, I was thinking ohhh that would make a great tea sandwich. Definately making it at my next little tea party with friends!!!
What kind of bread would you serve with it? I was wondering if croissant would be good? Or maybe brioche?!
@@luvzdogz Brioche sounds great, but I don't think I want anything to fancy to take away from the flavor of the filling. I was also thinking with the orange zest in the mix, a lovely orange bread loaf sliced very thin would be lovely!
@@jomcgee6094yes, very think sliced bread for a proper tea sandwich.
I have 2 first editions of that McCall’s cookbook! The first one was my Momma’s and it’s held together with duct tape because she wore it out and stretched it out cramming hand written and newspaper recipes.
My late husband bought me the identical one off eBay many, many years ago. Mine is pristine! Mine have the teal blue covers. I think they were originally available in a choice of colors: yellow, red, and teal ( blue green)
Set aside the egg whites and mix the egg salad with just the yolks first, then fold in the chopped whites. It's a game changer in how it eats.
Tea sandwich with thin sliced plain banana bread and using the nut/ pineapple spread is yummy 👍 So retro too. Groovy ✌️
I have just recently found your channel and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I was born in 1956 and remember alot of the cookbooks you talk about. Just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your channel.
@lindasalisbury7129 Me too! 1956 ~ and loved the cookbooks from back then. Campbell's Soup Recipe book, Betty Crocker, JC, etc.....
The name of this channel is absolutely brilliant.
😂 Not Anna pretending that her cookbooks are Pokemon. She gotta collect them All! I ❤it!!
That explains why my mom had the red book. Our kitchen counters were spanish red.
The cupcake method is called reverse creaming it is supposed to make a more velvety tender texture.
I’ve only done so on gingerbread cookie dough and it’s a fabulous recipe so I’m very interested in trying these cupcakes!
If you're familiar with the first Betty Crocker cookbook (1952?), nearly all of the cake recipes use the reverse creaming method. They called it the "double quick method."

Inside info: Anna loves a picnic.
Are you her husband? You are so fortunate. You get to try all these delicious recipes
😋
I love inside info!

Sprinkle in a little paprika for deviled egg salad. That's my trick.

I love a good picnic.
I absolutely love watching your videos. You're such a cool person. I love the lunch box container things LOL! 😂
You are a sweetheart, so fun and positive. Who here would also love to have Anna as their neighbor? I know we would.
Every recipe for my 2023 Christmas family dinner came from the McCalls 1963 cookbook and every recipe was a winner. The applesauce cake is delicious and the pork loin pineapple dish was superb. The apple cabbage slaw was also wonderful. The cookbook is timeless and an excellent one to use all these years later. I have the orange cover, so groovy! Thanks for using it in this video.

I hated school food from kindergarten through college. Always carried a lunchbox.
Another great one, Anna😃
Haven’t been able to watch much lately as we finally found a house after losing ours in the 2023 flood on the Central Coast. It’s cool and vintage and we’re remodeling the inside🤗
But I’m back😃and getting motivated to be able to cook again 😉👍
You’re great at motivating and I just love your videos so much☺️
Thanks 👍😃🕊
All the best to you as you fill your new home with love and good times!
Love my bento lunch box.
Raw snow peas are sooo good 😊
My go-to egg salad dressing is mayo, onion powder, and celery salt.
i usually add a dash of hot sauce.
Wow. When I came upon your channel I was mesmerized because I thought I was the only one who bought and used those old school grocery store little cook books. I remember being on a tangent in the 80's of making and feeding the family recipes from the famous Pillsbury Bake Off. I was really on a trip. It was very dramatic and like a show. HA.

Anna, Lil Guys is still kicking on Damen, if that’s the one you’re talking about! 🥰
Yes that’s the one! 😊
What a lovely dedication to Ms. Evelyn, thank you for taking some time to remember her...what a kind way to learn a little bit of her!
I don't usually feel the need to buy vintage cookbooks because I'm not very good about using my modern cookbook but this video made me want Mccall's!! Great video
I want to see you make the peanut butter and bacon sandwich that was under the deviled egg salad
Great video. Your enthusiasm for vintage cookbooks is so wonderful! I'm really enjoying your channel.

I make that walnut bread quite often now. It’s delicious!
My daughter has a similar lunch box like that, my grandson takes it to school. He threw the silverware away the first time he brought it to school. He's 8 😊
I love watching you I was born 1961 and I enjoy a lot thank you
I look forward to your Sunday videos - loving thinking about Spring
First- I’ve always wanted to say that!!! I like collecting lunch boxes.i would hate it if Anna yelled at me about my hard-cooked eggs 🥚
It’s hard to imagine Anna yelling at anyone! Playful joshing for sure 😋
I would never! 🤣
@@Rhaenspots😂🤣😂🤣 true
@@cooking_the_bookswow- your book collection has certainly expanded!!!!
😂😂😂
Aww I was born in 1963!!
My Mom always read McCalls.magazine .!
Loved this video. All of the recipes looked yummy ! Especially the cupcakes. They were beautiful 🧁❤
Oh! Could you do a video with different tea sandwiches or foods to have with afternoon tea? That would be so fun!
The red and white lunchbox is a bento box.
And I think I'd have to make the egg salad with scrambled eggs, if I made it. And I may! It actually looked delicious. 😋 (I'm not a fan of most egg salads. I don't like hard-boiled egg white.)
I think the pineapple spread is more of a cracker spread. At least that's how it looks to me.

These worked well because I am making a lot of cold meals right now. I'm trying to not use my A/C as long as possible.

Think she is right and it was the vinegar. But, I just recently found out about grating the eggs and it works beautifully.
Maybe a Ladies Luncheon theme some day.
with the cream cheese sandwich use brown bread.....this is a found in the beans area...
Omg that sounds awesome! Have not had brown bread forever! I like it toasted
Love your aprons and the containers 😊🌹🌹
Always a good day when Anna posts ♡♡

0:44 oh my gosh! I think I had those checkered books that are laying on the side in a stack. They came as a boxed set with a mini book/pamphlet for mixed drinks. I regret re-donating them a little bit, but I think someone was excited to find them.
I love Almond extract…especially in my French Toast!!❤❤❤😋
Icing is a life saver when it comes to mess-ups. Everything looks so good and i love the containers
I have the green books and had it when I got married in the 70s. I spotted your’s in the last video. My bible back when learning to cook.
Vanilla meringue pie?? I’ve never heard of that! I don’t see how it could be bad! The sandwich spreads and dip and cupcakes all looked delicious! 😊
Add a little peanut butter to your vanilla frosting. It's fantastic on a chocolate chocks.
Kraft used to make a jarred version of the pinapple cheese spread. I think you made a port/cheese spread like theirs around Christmas in fact.
How kind of you to dedicate this video to your friend's Grandma. Loved the recipes. Can't wait to try the nut pineapple spread & cupcakes. I'd like to try substituting coconut shortening. It would be a healthier choice and I think it would add a mild coconut flavor to compliment the cocoa.
I'd love to see a compilation video of "my favorite vintage recipes for summer/picnics" or maybe by season?
I hope you make that baked ham recipe someday from the McCalls cookbook 😋
I don’t know what I loved more from this video, the recipes or your cute little lunch containers!!! I have a ton of containers and use different ones based on what I’m bringing for lunch. The days I’m in the office. I try really hard not to spend extra money on buying lunch and it does help if my boring lunch is at least in a cute container. My mum always put butter on all our sandwiches so I do that too. Oh and one of the best sandwiches ever is raisin bread and cheese slices (the famous ones wrapped in plastic) .🥪🥒🍎🍉🍪
I too always have pimentos. My grocery store sells a cream cheese pineapple spread like that in a tub with the pimento cheese. Think I might try that recipe next time!
Li’l Guys is still open 😊 I’ve never been there but I will have to try. I love egg salad ❤
Egg salad is my favorite sort of sandwich, I am definitely trying out this recipe!!
Thsnk you for your wonderful videos. I watch with great anticipation from here in the UK. I love your 60s-80s videos. Im not sure if she ever made it to the U.S but would love to see you try some Indian recipees from the BBC chief Madhur Jaffrey. I know she had some cook books in the 70s and 80s but I also know a lot of her recipees and cooking shows are on the BBC archives and on youtube and showcase bringing the Indian diet to the UK when our diets began to open up to World cuisine in the 70s and 80s more than times before this
This time of year zucchini bread would be good with the cream cheese spread!
That pineapple nut spread looks delicious 😋
Mine did. She split them down the middle and put the frosting on the inside instead of on top, so the frosting didn't stick to the Handiwrap or wax paper.
Vanilla Meringue Pie sound fascinating. What a beautiful book!
Love the herb filling/dip. Green beans would be my go to with that one!
Seeing all your cookbooks, I so wanted to just stand in front of them in awe!
I love a good sandwich and a picnic. My egg salad is pretty plain also. I might add powdered mustard for a devilled egg. Love the lunchbox. I have the Tupperware one, with all the little containers. Also used a cooler one for years at work because we had no fridge. I'd bring a paper plate because I didn't like eating out of the box or on waxed paper.
I love your videos! The nut pineapple cream cheese recipe does sound delicious for bagels or nut breads … yum… I need to try it ! And now I need to try pimentos in my egg salad!
I need to do some lunch planning. You inspired me. ❤
I believe I have this cookbook and if I do, I inherited it from my grandmother. Mine is the blue one, which would have matched her kitchen.
Now I need to look at home...
