I was 22 in 1973. It was a great time to be alive. I warched the Watergate sessions during my lunch time while I was in college. Saw The Eagles in Detroit for the first time (I'm from Ontario). Actually went to 5 of their concerts. Love how this takes me back to the good old days.
I’m commenting before I even watch the video, because there’s nothing better on my Friday night than to chill out after a long work week with a “Jen” video while drinking cocktails!!! TGIF! I was 8 years old in 1973!
I was 16 in 1973. What fantastic music we had! We had all the great bands! And I saw Elvis in concert 3 times in the 70's! Your outfit looked great. I had round, rose colored glasses and always wore a peace sign necklace. I also wore a metal Vietnam War bracelet for an Air Force Captain, that was forced to eject over Vietnam on 2/23/68 and taken prisoner. I got to see him on TV when he returned home during Operation Homecoming in March, 1973! Though your video brought back so many memories, I have to say. I never ate any of the things you made...lol! We had things like Meatloaf, Ham and Beans, Salmon Patties, Fried Chicken and Pork Chops....I still miss my Mama's cooking! Thanks for the great video! I am looking forward to the next one from the 50's! ❤
Ur right we did have good music , n I to remember those dinners u mentioned too .I was a yr older then u 17 yrs old . It's nice to hear that ,someone was around my age back then sometimes I feel like I'm they only older person watching her channel ...Lol
1973 was a good year... I was born!! (Amongst other terrific things that set that year apart. 😉 ) This was the Good Housekeeping version I grew up with and cooked from my whole childhood. ❤️ it.
I was always wondering if they still sell those potato mashers when I would see you use yours, I have the exact one. I’m 89 yrs. old, got mine from Montgomery Ward. I had the whole set, bought one piece at a time. They were expensive for the time. Glad you shared where you got yours. Peggy
@@angelacollins1343 I think I've seen them in the Dollar Rama store in Canada, hut they were made of plastic. I have the metal one l bought in the 70's.
Every young bride in the 70’s and 80’s were gifted the Betty Crocker Cookbook at their bridal shower. (Pretty similar to the Goodhousekeeping one) I still have mine. 😂😂😂🤣
I was born in 1973! I absolutely love when you do the throw back meals. You definitely need to do more. Thanks for this blast back! I also agree no radishes in Greek salad!
That was fun. My mom gave this book to me for Christmas the year before I was married at 19 years old in 1975. Fast forward, still married and still have the cookbook. I have moved forward cooking wise, of course, and now use books like Half Baked Harvest, etc....but I still make three recipes from the book. Chicken Imperial (page 191) adding a few herbs to the mix, Double Duty Stuffed Shells (page 306) and the Old Fashioned Potato Salad (page 397). I agree with you about adding additional seasoning to most of the recipes because our tastes have evolved. Mom (92) lives with us and my children and grandchildren live close by....life is good :) Thanks for the throw back!
Hey I was 12 in 73. I loved being a kid then. We had a phenomenal childhood, also remember more entertaining, it seemed like we had company all the time. Mom was always cooking
I was born in 1971. My mom had that cookbook which she gave me. It's not in the best condition but I love it. When my girls were little I would pick recipes to make for them. I just have to say I remember when my parents watch the exorcist on TV. They told me I couldn't watch it, I think I was 7 or 8. Well I snuck out of bed and hid behind the couch and watched some of. I was so freaking scared!! But the funny thing is recently my girls who all grown and 3 of them live at home still, have literally been watching it. I sat down to watch and was cracking up at how funny it is now. They like to critique movies and this one, they have fun with.
The Sherbet joke has straight been my joke against my kids for years 🤣🤣 "mom, can I get some 'sherbert'?" And I always reply "sure, Bert." 🤣 They think I'm crazy 🤣🤣 joke's on them, cause I already know I am 🤣
I was born in 1964, where everything was made from scratch. I have some recipes from my grandparents on one of my cookbook shelves lol. I need to bust them out and give some a go. I know that when I was little, I received all sorts of household items for my hope chest. Have you heard of those? lol. I remember being gifted a Betty Crocker cookbook, which I can see on my book shelf right now. That book taught me a lot!
My nana and papa got us girls hopechests for our 16th birthdays it was a big deal to go pick it out. I wanted nothing but one of the ones my nana had. Best decision I ever made. It is still my prized possession and keeps me feeling close to her! Though it now pretty much holds my kids baby things and extra blankets.
I graduated in 1973 from HS , I was 17 yrs old , our clothing fads were cute ,big sunglasses cute styles n everyone is wearing the big sunglasses now it's funny how everything comes back around . I met the love of my life my soulmate which he would be my husband yrs ltr ... 🌻
Radishes were a pretty chic salad ingredient in the 1950s-1970s. I remember going to steak houses in the 1980s, ones that hadn't had a menu update since 1965 or so, and radishes were always in the salads. Gross in a Greek Salad for sure.
Awesome video, Jen!! Btw, your outfit is spot-on! I grew up in the 70s (born Nov 1967) and I don't know about anyone else but I had never even heard of feta cheese until I was in my 30s! LOL. Probably because I grew up in a very rural area of FL. Anyway, LOVE this video and LOVE when you do these 'period/era' meals! Groovy
Thanks for making me feel old! I was 11 in 1973 so I'm old enough to be your mom. I just turned 60 this year. It was interesting to see the recipes and how much emphasis on entertaining there still was in the '70s. I think cookbooks from the '80s forward where more women were working outside the home that whole entertaining thing has someone gone out the window. And I'm good with that. I started working in 1979 and stayed with the company for 35 years so since I never married I never really got into entertaining but I did learn how to cook from my mom and also I had home economics in junior high and also cooking classes in girl scouts. Do schools even offer home economics classes anymore? I learned how to sew by following a pattern although whatever I sewed never turned out very well but I can sew on a button at least. I'm definitely a better cook and baker than I am a seamstress. I like to cook but it's harder for me to do that now since my stroke and having lost the use of my dominant arm. It is more challenging although I do have a stand mixer and a food processor which help since I can't really cut very well with a knife anymore and do it safely. Well this was a fun walk down memory lane. I couldn't tell what pants you were wearing but hopefully they were elephant bells! So for your fifties are we going to be seeing you in a poodle skirt and saddle shoes? Of course you will have to have your hair up in a ponytail tied with a cute little scarf and wearing a cardigan. Just watch the movie Grease if you need inspiration! Thanks Jen! ✌️☮️
I was a young wife in 1973. Food was a lot blander 50 years ago. At least in my neck of the woods, which was Wisconsin. Most of the recipes of the time called for margarine instead of butter. I'm looking forward to your 50's menu!
Your meals from different years or themes of special chefs are my fav!!!! Today was my first day back in kitchen cooking and enjoying it. I am hopefully getting better…. And sure hope so. Fingers crossed I’m back to RUclips sooner than later!
OMG this was spot on!!!! Ernie and Bert joke....hahahahahaha. I love that you appreciate era's before you were born. I work with a girl who doesn't know what a typewriter is....ugh
Loved this. Don’t think I would eat much of it and my daughter definitely would not. The comments from everyone old enough to be cooking in this era are amazing too. I was born in 76 so loved seeing things from that time.
I saw The Exorcist in the summer of 1974 and it scared the crap out of me. I couldn’t sleep. They kept playing the song from the movie on the radio and I listened to the radio at night.
1973 was a very good year-I turned 23 and was married a month later- this week we are celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary! I still use my potato masher from 1973. Your outfit was spot on. Thanks for this nostalgic video
I learned to cook late 60’s early 70’s. Food was very bland. Daily cooking was for “ease.” But the wife was expected to prepare a full course meal for her husband when he came home from work (served with fresh make-up, clean clothes, a clean house, and well behaved children.) I failed on all counts.
I grew up in the seventies. As I remember, we only had 4 spices in our pantry. Salt, pepper, cinnamon and chili powder. Everything was flavored by grease. LOL
Omg so funny! Me born 1976 and spices my mom used salt , pepper , paprika and cinnamon 😋 paprika on chicken legs 🍗 yummy greasy 🤮 and pork chops in shake and bake 😚
I just have to throw this out there..... back in about 1985 my husband was spending money like water...money that we didn't have - in other words, running up our credit cards. I called the credit card company to try and close the account and stop his spending, but HECK NO, they had to hear it from the "man of the house" and would not close the account. I was SO MAD!! I love vintage cooking and cookbooks, so this video was a WIN, Jen!
One thing to note about Greek salad; traditionally, lettuce and tomatoes are not ripe together. In the spring, it's radishes and lettuce, then adding cucumbers midsummer, then dropping the lettuce and the radishes and adding tomatoes in late summer. We are blessed with these crops year round.
You did great dressing for the 70's. Gauze tops with rolled up tab sleeves were definitely popular in the 70's. My friend Beverly had glasses just like you have only smaller. Levi's and earth shoes were also popular in the 70's.
I was 10 in ‘73 and the food was amazing. I was brought up just outside Glasgow I had 2 sisters and 2 brothers we lived in a 2 bedroom house. We had fish at least twice a week and one of them was with a sauce called Mornay it has butter, lemon and parsley it was delicious. I love your outfit x
I was born in the 70’s and I can remember my parents having to make me eat meals when I little because I wanted to be outside exploring and playing and they used that to manipulate me to eat. I would have to eat a certain amount of food before I was allowed to go back outside and play. 😂 I remember feeling it was torture to force eat to satisfy their wishes so I could get back to my adventures outside. Fast forward to current day- punishment for my son would be to go outside and play. He would much rather be inside. Things have really shifted!!!
I was married in 1972 and your outfit was spot on! Loved it! I didn't have the Good Housekeeping cookbook, but I still use my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from that same time period. I used it this morning,as a matter of fact. I appreciated your comment about how bland some of the things tasted. I really think it was that way with a lot of the recipes from that time period. And presentation was key then,too. Looking forward to the 1950s video. I was born in 1949. Good job You!
You look great I was born around that time, Tupperware ,Avon ect. My mother put on fancy clothes dinners ect.I love to watch Martha Stewart she reminds me of mom. Another source for cookbooks thrift stores. ✌☮.
Hey Jen ! You are so fun. I began laughing and saying out loud to no one….congrats you’ve done it again. Can’t wait to watch this video. I was in the 3rd grade in 1973. Great idea. 🇨🇱
Thank you for taking me in time, I was 11. My family were probably eating tv dinners, the one's that were cooked in the oven. For dessert we always had jello
My mother had a Good Housekeeping cookbook similar to yours except it was avacado green. I remember her pouring through this book like it was the latest, greatest, novel ever written. I made a few recipes from this book as well. Mother was extremely frugal and never really let us (my sister and I) cook unknown recipes. I always considered this book the holy grail and was extremely upset that my sister took that book to her new home. Lol. Great video.
I was born in 90. But I'll still watch lol my daughter listens to Shang Ra Lais... I know they were before then. Lol she is 8. I have a bunch of vintage things. Especially the potato masher. Works great.
Oh lord, girl...I graduated from college in 1973 so this isn't news, or nostalgia....now to watch the video. Your outfit looks more 1969 to me...but I was "there" then
I remember my mom baking cake in the oranges too. Surprised no jello salad. I think we hello of some sort every meal as a kid or can of fruit cocktail mixed with cool whip. And it seemed food was pretty bland back then. My mom really only used salt and pepper.
See Mindy Mom sent me over.The salad oil back then was Wesson Oil.Nuts in the brownies were either walnuts or pecans.I remember my mom teaching when baking always use large eggs.Doing a great job on the recipes. There were no English cucumbers or hydroponic ones either.Was years later when I heard of and tried feta cheese.
i love this style of video. Super fun! I wasn’t born in 1973 but i think you had the vibe going on😀. My parents had orange cabinets when i was younger so your shirt was right on target lol. I too am a cookbook collector.
Hey Jen! I love it when you do these retro videos. I was born in 1961. I remember the fashion well. You did a great job. The early 70s still had a lot of the 1960s sprinkled in. I remember sitting at the theater watching The Exorcist. I still think that's the scariest movie ever mde. That music haunted me for a long time, lol! I'm an avid cookbook collector too! I guess great minds think alike. (Yeah right)...
I was 22 in 1973. It was a great time to be alive. I warched the Watergate sessions during my lunch time while I was in college. Saw The Eagles in Detroit for the first time (I'm from Ontario). Actually went to 5 of their concerts. Love how this takes me back to the good old days.
I'm so jealous that you saw the Eagles in the 1970s.
I love listening to people talk about their times in the 70's! I was meant to have been born in the 70's, but alas, I was born at the end of the 80's.
whenI was in 2nd grade in concert in Chicago, Needless to say nothing else ever comparedal Ihaveeen to a few concerts-
I saw the Beatles in concert when I was in 2d grade but needless to say no other compared to that-Those were the days of great music
I was born in 95 and I LOVE The Eagles thanks to my parents 🥰

I have one of those potato mashers from my grandma. Love it!
@@angelacollins1343 I think I've seen them in the Dollar Rama store in Canada, hut they were made of plastic.
I have the metal one l bought in the 70's.
I volunteer at a thrift store and they all all of those antique kitchen items. Anything you can imagine 🤣
Every young bride in the 70’s and 80’s were gifted the Betty Crocker Cookbook at their bridal shower. (Pretty similar to the Goodhousekeeping one) I still have mine. 😂😂😂🤣
Omg I have those too! I need to make some recipes lol
Love this Jen . I’m 63 now and live in the uk but really remember this .. lovely cooking xx
The 70's, YES!!!!
We were married in 1973. We celebrate our 50th anniversary next June. This is a trip down memory lane. ❤️ best music EVER!!! Your costume is perfect.
I was born in 1973! I absolutely love when you do the throw back meals. You definitely need to do more. Thanks for this blast back! I also agree no radishes in Greek salad!
I was 9 in 73 and remember wacthing /hearing the watergate hearings on tv and my nana being so upset about it! LOL your costume looked great!

Love it! I love the 70’s- especially the music (70’s folk music is a common playlist playing in the background)… I was born in ‘75.

That’s the year I was born! What a fun idea to make a meal from an old cookbook. It all looks delicious 😋
Me too! Great year :)
I would have have been turning one on July 17. I'm the big 50 tomorrow. I remember when I thought 30 was old lol.
Awesome video, Jen!! Btw, your outfit is spot-on! I grew up in the 70s (born Nov 1967) and I don't know about anyone else but I had never even heard of feta cheese until I was in my 30s! LOL.

I was 3 yrs old lol. My mom had those cookbooks and still couldn't cook 🤣
I love when you do these

I’m glad I was born in 79 😂😂 that ECO thing is crazy!! Wow! I luv these recipes and luv your outfit!!! Thanks for the video Jen! Your the best!!

What a fun video!
I saw The Exorcist in the summer of 1974 and it scared the crap out of me. I couldn’t sleep. They kept playing the song from the movie on the radio and I listened to the radio at night.
These are so fun! I’ve watched a couple people on RUclips do some vintage stuff, even pioneer style. It’s fascinating!
1973 was a very good year-I turned 23 and was married a month later- this week we are celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary! I still use my potato masher from 1973. Your outfit was spot on. Thanks for this nostalgic video
The only thing missing was a Virginia Slim cigarette and a banner "You've come a long way Baby"... lol
I learned to cook late 60’s early 70’s. Food was very bland. Daily cooking was for “ease.” But the wife was expected to prepare a full course meal for her husband when he came home from work (served with fresh make-up, clean clothes, a clean house, and well behaved children.) I failed on all counts.
Haha! 😝
I was around in ‘73 and you did great
I grew up in the seventies. As I remember, we only had 4 spices in our pantry. Salt, pepper, cinnamon and chili powder. Everything was flavored by grease. LOL
Ha!!! Omg same for me in the 80s really
Omg so funny! Me born 1976 and spices my mom used salt , pepper , paprika and cinnamon 😋 paprika on chicken legs 🍗 yummy greasy 🤮 and pork chops in shake and bake 😚
I can’t wait till the next video! This was fun!! Thanks Jen.
That cookbook was my absolute favorite…I still have it, rubberbanded together as it came apart from so much use.
Great job Jen! I love the get up and the 70's were the awesome.
I was a freshman in college in 1973. Thanks for the memories!
YOUR SHADES R WAY WAY COOOL 😍
I was 4 years old in 73. But I remember various aspects of meal like this as a kid growing up in the 70’s. Great and fun video ♥️♥️♥️
Very cool!
I was 6.
I was 13 back then. I love old cookbooks♥️.
Yep! You pass the '70's look alright!!! 👵👍 Trust me, I dressed that way! 🤣
I have this cook book actually used in 1973. It is now held together with bright pink duck tape. I loved this cookbook.
Omg I love when you do these vintage cooking videos!
This was a very interesting video idea! I really enjoyed seeing the older recipes. It hurts to think about but this was almost 50 years ago o.O
Your vintage cooking videos are fun! Love this idea!
Yay! Thank you!
I just have to throw this out there..... back in about 1985 my husband was spending money like water...money that we didn't have - in other words, running up our credit cards. I called the credit card company to try and close the account and stop his spending, but HECK NO, they had to hear it from the "man of the house" and would not close the account. I was SO MAD!! I love vintage cooking and cookbooks, so this video was a WIN, Jen!
I was a senior in high school and a huge dork!
Perfect timing just got home from work and I'm completely exhausted. Time to unwind with Jen!
One thing to note about Greek salad; traditionally, lettuce and tomatoes are not ripe together. In the spring, it's radishes and lettuce, then adding cucumbers midsummer, then dropping the lettuce and the radishes and adding tomatoes in late summer. We are blessed with these crops year round.
Lovely great music too .. great times xxx

I didn't have the Good Housekeeping cookbook, but I still use my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from that same time period. I used it this morning,as a matter of fact.
I appreciated your comment about how bland some of the things tasted. I really think it was that way with a lot of the recipes from that time period. And presentation was key then,too.
Looking forward to the 1950s video. I was born in 1949.
Good job You!
Haha! My parents got married in 1979 :)
You look great I was born around that time, Tupperware ,Avon ect. My mother put on fancy clothes dinners ect.I love to watch Martha Stewart she reminds me of mom. Another source for cookbooks thrift stores. ✌☮.
Hey Jen ! You are so fun. I began laughing and saying out loud to no one….congrats you’ve done it again. Can’t wait to watch this video. I was in the 3rd grade in 1973. Great idea. 🇨🇱
Wow in 1970 I moved to Massachusetts from Puerto Rico ❤️
Thank you for taking me in time, I was 11. My family were probably eating tv dinners, the one's that were cooked in the oven. For dessert we always had jello
I'm inspired to try making a whole meal of 1970's food now too! This meal looks super fun, even if it wasn't the best meal you've ever had haha 😄
Loved this! Thanks!
Betty Crocker is my favorite cookbook
My mother had a Good Housekeeping cookbook similar to yours except it was avacado green. I remember her pouring through this book like it was the latest, greatest, novel ever written.

I was born in 90. But I'll still watch lol my daughter listens to Shang Ra Lais... I know they were before then. Lol she is 8. I have a bunch of vintage things. Especially the potato masher. Works great.
U did great Jen ,I like these take u back videos ,the food, the fads, n the looking back in the past ... great idea...
N I say Sherbert . 🦋
What a fun idea. I loved it. And I am all in for those chewy caramel brownies!
Definitely trying some of these recipes. Thank you for sharing these type of videos are so fun!
Looking forward to the 1950's menu - Shel
Oh lord, girl...I graduated from college in 1973 so this isn't news, or nostalgia....now to watch the video. Your outfit looks more 1969 to me...but I was "there" then
I had those glasses except they were smaller!! I was 11 in '73😂
Summer of 1973. Iowa City. Summer school to begin a Master’s degree. Lettuce was 39 cents a head. I ate salad all summer.
Loved this video! I need to find my better homes cookbook. You killed it with your outfit! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all your hard work on making these videos for us I love fish and shrimp, going to try this and your vintage bowl is gorgeous
I remember my mom baking cake in the oranges too. Surprised no jello salad. I think we hello of some sort every meal as a kid or can of fruit cocktail mixed with cool whip. And it seemed food was pretty bland back then. My mom really only used salt and pepper.
Loved the costume! 😆
See Mindy Mom sent me over.The salad oil back then was Wesson Oil.Nuts in the brownies were either walnuts or pecans.I remember my mom teaching when baking always use large eggs.Doing a great job on the recipes. There were no English cucumbers or hydroponic ones either.Was years later when I heard of and tried feta cheese.
Interesting! Thanks for watching :)
Love this! Looking forward to the next one.
I was 11! I love it!! ❤️
i love this style of video. Super fun! I wasn’t born in 1973 but i think you had the vibe going on😀. My parents had orange cabinets when i was younger so your shirt was right on target lol. I too am a cookbook collector.
This was such a fun video!
This was SO fun!! One of my fave videos you’ve done 😊
I loved this! How fun! I have a Pyrex bowl from the 1960’s that my grandma’s sister gave me. It is my favorite go to bowl for baking.
What a fun video. Thanks for sharing!
I love this type of video!
Hey Jen! I love it when you do these retro videos. I was born in 1961. I remember the fashion well. You did a great job. The early 70s still had a lot of the 1960s sprinkled in. I remember
sitting at the theater watching The Exorcist. I still think that's the scariest movie ever mde. That music haunted me for a long time, lol!
I'm an avid cookbook collector too! I guess great minds think alike. (Yeah right)...
I am from Chile and my parents and relatives lived through the year of the military pronouncement.
I'm loving these year themed menus jen! Ita very interesting to see the difference in menu in the different years. 😊💖
