I bought 3 binder rings and a couple packs of clear plastic page protectors and used scrap paper to make my own cookbook to pass on to my daughters of all their favorite childhood recipes. I hand wrote some, cut some out of magazines or newspapers. I decoupaged pages and had my girls draw pictures to add when they were young. It's been a work in progress for 20 years. I love looking through it with all the memories. Hopefully my daughters will one day too!
When we cleaned out my grandmothers house I asked for her recipe box. It was such a gift to have things in her own handwriting. Imagine my surprise when I found a little notebook in the back of it that had belonged to her grandmother from 1859! So I interesting to very carefully read them. It’s written like a story instead of how recipes are written today.
Oh my goodness! I love old church cookbooks! Collecting them at old book sales, antique stores and yard sales is one of my hobbies! I actually have an antique cabinet just to display them in! You know which recipes are good because the page is covered in stains or paper clipped!
@@casiecalhoun1325 I just looked these up on Amazon when I read your comment. That's exactly the ones I love! I will be ordering one today to add to my collection.
My mom had a huge cook book collection & it’s something I can’t make myself get rid of. So much of my life was seeing those cookbooks out! She was faithful to them even after Pinterest!
Two minutes into the video and I have to comment and tell you I am loving the intro chit chat! And I am totally just like that about old cookbooks. I remember when the contributors always listed their name as "Mrs. Husband's Name."
I have a whole wall of cookbooks in my kitchen. A crate of cookbooks is this type. My favorite find is people's personal notes or clippings they leave behind. Sometimes when friends or family go on vacation they will bring me back a cookbook from the area they visit!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you. Your videos are always upbeat and inspiring, they give me lots of motivation when I frankly just don’t want to make dinner. Most of all, though, I want to thank you for sharing the way you store ingredients like ground beef, etc. Because of you, I now break down the large Costco size meats as soon as I get them home into quart size freezer Ziploc bags. It’s so handy! I just pull out a frozen-flat bag, and I have the main ingredient ready to go. I’ve even started cutting up London Broil for stew, chili or quesadillas before it goes into the freezer, fixing up ham for soups and pasta dishes, and portioning or cutting up boneless skinless chicken breast. Our freezer is now manageable and we are no longer afraid to open the door! I really just can’t thank you enough and wanted to express my gratitude and to wish you all the best! Many blessings❤️
I love that you cut the broccoli 🥦 up with a pair of kids scissors ✂️ 😂. I've done the same thing before & got crap for it ಠಿ_ಠ. I was like, "what does it matter as long as they're clean & get the job done ?" This is 1 reason I love you!! You do you & keep it 💯, just like me!! I loved this video idea!! I'd love to see more just like it!! Also, genius hack for the onion soup mix!!! I will 1000000% be using that one 😉.
Yes I definitely love old cook books since a child and collect them. I just love seeing how they made foods but how they arranged them for the pictures.
Girl.. Yes.. I'm from Cecilia KY.. Hardin County. I have over 4500 cookbooks (no not a mistake #).. And I have that EXACT JC Penny cookbook.. Love my cookbooks. My face are the hand written ones stuck in the folds . hugs and happy cookin
I got a cookbook from the year I was born at a library sale right before quarantine started. It's so different from now. And I love reading cookbooks, they are very interesting.
I always loved and still love cookbooks! My mom would get taste of home magazines in the mail and we would race to see who would get to the mail box first and get to look at it first 😂 good memories!
I love cookbooks too. The oldest one I have is from 1963 and I found it at a thrift store. I have found the best place to get cookbooks from is thriftbooks.
my copy came in Saturday. I am so happy with this cookbook. it is in great shape, hardly used. And so many pages to go through. Thank you for sharing. Hope you do more cooking from it.
I’m a ‘93 baby too! When you started talking about that cookbook I was so dang excited 😆 that’s the exact type of fun idea that I would love to do one of these weeks for dinners. Old cookbooks are the best!!
Omg that's just about the exact recipe I've been looking for FOREVER w the chicken broc casserole it was my late husband's favorite only we would put it over rice but yes ur right it is SO SO GOOD
I collect vintage and antique cookbooks, I like just reading through them. Lots of them aren't just filled with recipes but have all sorts of housekeeping, cleaning, time management and medicine in them. Some of them have information about newborn baby care. Very interesting! Also have large sections devoted to wild game, not just venison but raccoon, beaver etc. A good cookbook is just as fun to read as a good book :)
This is such a great idea to go through a cookbook to get meals for the week! I feel like I use Pinterest or my big binder of recipes that I have printed out over the years and my cookbooks just sit there. You have totally inspired me to search my shelves for some dinner inspiration!
I am the same way about cookbooks! I have always loved digging through cookbooks and recipe boxes. I am the family recipe collector and I have many of our family members recipes recorded in a book I am making for my kids to have when they are older. I also have a huge cookbook collection and I can never get too many. I could read them all day. I loved this video! So fun to see how some of the vintage recipes came out for you.
I enjoyed this video! I’m older then you. My daughters were born in 1995 and 1997 and I remember recipes like this. I remember back when we used margarine instead of butter in recipes. I still get my old cookbooks
Hi Kristin!! I love this kind of video. It's different than what you usually post. Maybe do more of these. All 4 recipes look and sound delicious. Hope you have a great day and week. Stay safe. God bless.
I recently just found your channel by accident and I am so glad I did! I am currently binge watching each video and getting some great new ideas for dinners! Thank you for listing the recipes out too. Love your channel!
Such a cool video idea to use an older cook book to see how they cooked back then. My mom’s side of the family has a family recipe book that they made when I was a baby. Now I’m 24 years old I love to cook. It’s so cool to look through and see who’s recipes are in the book that are my great aunts and cousins.
I love old cookbooks too. Thanks for sharing these recipes. The recipe with the broccoli was given to my mother in the 1960’s except it listed turkey as meat & was 1 way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. You look beautiful.
Yes I sit and read cookbooks also. Love the old ones!! I probably have over 100 old cookbooks. I am also amazed at the products used and how directions are written.
We used to get the JC Penney's Christmas catalogs and I would look through them and dream about everything we wanted from Santa. We were so poor, but I was such a dreamer and spent hours looking and wishing.
I love reading through cookbooks too! Especially the older ones, that you don't know where they came from. I was fortunate enough to get my Mom's recipe card box and my mother in law's recipe book. I was blessed with both!! And very sad they are no longer with us.
Another great video. I add a beaten egg & shredded cheddar cheese and 1 chopped onion to my soup & mayo mixture. Pour over the broccoli & then I top this with Stovetop stuffing mix (chicken flavor) right out of the box. Then dot the whole dish with butter. Then bake at 350 for about a hour until bubbly
Love this!!! I have always loved looking at old cook books and the kinds of meals and ingredients women used to cook throughout history. Love this video idea! This makes me want to see what books I have in my cupboard!
You sift your dry ingredients like the Pioneer Women. I do like onions but your idea on how to strain the onions out of the mix was great. Have a wonderful week. All my love from California.
I am the same way with cookbooks! I found a cookbook that my church put together years ago in my stash of cookbooks. There's nothing like church lady recipes 😋
Everything looks so delicious and nutritious I feel like with the chicken and broccoli casserole you really can’t go wrong with that. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I love cookbooks too...I collect them....I am 65, so I have many....my first one was a Betty Crocker Cookbook I got as a gift when I got married....it is a 1974 Edition!!! Yeah, I am old as dirt...haha...so many changes for sure. We had never heard of a microwave back then. Thank you for sharing....my daughter and I enjoy your videos so much
I love old cook books!! I have some from the 1960s and 70s, and I just love looking through them. So many of the recipes called for pimentos which I’ve never eaten in my life!
6:45 I make something similar I call it Broccoli chicken bake, the only difference is I use StoveTop stuffing (or dressing, Im Canadian we call it stuffing) and I LOVE IT!!! My husband hates it so much that I put it in my vows I would never make him broccoli chicken bake again. Its been 7 years and still have not made it for him lol He is not a casserole man, closest I can get is a chili with toast. Same thing with full slow cooker meals, not for him.
I love this idea! I just bought 5 cookbooks at various antique shops. The oldest is the Royal Recipe Parade from 1942! I even found the original Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook from 1951! I’m doing recipes from each book this week. Tonight we’re having Rumaki. You’re so right about the things that were done back in the day. It’s exciting to try these recipes. I’m going to have to try your recipes also.
Kristin, I enjoyed this video! I have always enjoyed looking at cookbooks too. When I was in elementary school, all the parents contributed a few recipes and they made a cookbook of all the family recipes. It was so interesting because there were all different types of food (Italian, French, Indian, etc) as each family has its own culture and traditions. I used to read that cookbook over and over. Now it is all torn up and in pieces at my mother's house but she still has it. The recipes back then seemed so simple!
That cookbook was sold to raise money for the United Way. It makes me feel so old that a cookbook from 1995 was in an antique shop. I was a junior in high school! 😭

The old church cook books are the best. I find these recipes to be like what Grandma would make. Great video!
I have a dozen cook books from 1958 filled with ideas people long forgotten about
I felt it when you said, “I overthink everything.”....same. That’s what leads to my anxiety. 😂 Also, I have loved cookbooks my entire life.
This is the reason why I enjoy your videos so much. This is so cool I love the idea. Have a wonderful and safe day 💗🤶
