I can't believe people give snarky comments about anything you do. Your channel is so fun and a comfort channel. It's literally like comfort food lol. I'm sick with a horrible head and chest cold in bed cuddling with my dog, a cup of tea, and binge watching your channel. Even my daughters ages 11 and 14 enjoy your channel. Love the St. Patricks food!☘️
Thank you!! I hope my comments don't come off as too complain-y, but some of the unusual/less than kind comments I get truly amaze me. I have to laugh! 😂Hope you're feeling better soon!
I filmed a video years ago right before we moved to CA, but then ended up scrapping it because I wasn't sure people would be interested. It seems like more and more people want to see my collection though, so I'm open to filming another one! 🙂
@@cooking_the_books I would love to see your collection! My favorite pattern is the spring blossom/crazy daisy pattern and I get so excited when I see them in your videos.
Happy St Patrick's Day Anna and to all the cooking the books followers from Cork, Ireland💚🍀 I have never heard of cabbage and potato soup, we normally have potato and leek soup. Also remember on St Patrick's day you can break your lent fast so I will be enjoying an easter egg while watching flight of the doves - an old film but it's a tradition from when I was a child to watch it😊
Would love to know more of Ireland! My Irish grandpa traditionally and so now do we have cabbage carrots onions and corned beef in the crockpot and soda bread. is that at all traditional. Oliver Gibbons I'm told came from Ireland as Fitzgibbons and dropped the Fitz to be more American. Well not sure of that story. Oliver Gibbons shows up listed on a boat arriving with 6 other people of the same name and similar age. We ask will the real zoliver ease stand up?! Lol no idea what part of Ireland he came from or why he came here. It's been assumed the potato famine but I'm not so sure.
@@tst1200 hi we used to have corned beef and cabbage when i was a child but, I don't remember mum putting carrots in it, however i don't see a reason not to put them in, it would flavour the broth. The irish government has a website which has the civil records and the baptism records for the different parishes in Ireland ( not all baptismal uploaded yet) so if I were you i would start there to find your ancestors, if its famine time then baptismal records is the only one you can use as civil records did not start until the 1860's as far as i know. There are two other records the tithes and griffiths valuation but you would need a lot of info before you could use them. If you have the ships manifest it should give you the area your ancestor came from in ireland and should tell you who they are going to in the states. A marriage cert gives good information too, good luck with your search, except for the 1901 and 1911 census all the rest were burned at the start of the civil war in 1921 so its hard to go back further than 1820 but if i can be of any help to you let me know
Programming this today was smart. If you'd done it next week, it would have been closer in time to St. Patrick's, but it wouldn't have given any time for people to try the recipes. Another well done episode, I hope you're having fun with these and please keep them coming.
It made me so happy to hear the way you pronounce Karo! ❤ Just as the rest of my family. That's also the way that little town in Illinois is pronounced. My daughter had a teacher who insisted it was pronounced as the Egyptian city. My daughter, who was in third grade at the time, informed her, "No. It's pronounced like the syrup. You're not from here, are you?" The teacher wasn't. PS: Mace is one of the components of Old Bay seasoning.
@@susanfisher4344 Where I grew up, about half the people said kay-roe, and about half said care-oh (in both instances, the emphasis was on the first syllable). Each group thought the other group's pronunciation was so odd. But no-one was ever mean about it - it was just however you grew up with it is how you then pronounced it.
My favorite St. Patrick's Day dessert are Blarney Stones - iced vanilla cake squares that are covered in chopped peanuts. These were served in the public schools when I was a child. The recipe is readily available online.
I’m already laughing just a few seconds in “oatmeal bread - let’s spice things up”. I love your channel! This all looks amazing. My hubby always says he hates soup but what he doesn’t like is milk based soups. I wonder if that soup could be done with a broth. I might try it.
Hooray! This was the best part of my Sunday! Thank you for such fun, the hard work you do creating these, and the wonderful cookbook sharing! Especially thank you for sharing your time and yourself, always a joy to see what you’re cooking and how much you love sharing! The best! 🙂✨
Usually (but not always) those types of loaves here in Ireland, get a good amount of creamery butter spread on it and either jam or slices of Irish cheddar cheese put on it. It is gorgeous.
I look forward to watching your videos each Sunday. Don't listen to the snarky comments. Unfortunately, a lot of people are unhappy in their lives and don't reach out for help in healthy ways. You are a treat to watch and I enjoy your company. It's almost like watching a cherished friend instead of a stranger.😊
Thank you so much! I hope what I said in the video don't come off as too complain-y, but some of the not so kind comments I get here truly amaze me. I have to laugh! 😂
my recipe for St. Patrick's Day is slow cooked chuck roast with parsnips, onions, carrots, salt, pepper and 2 bottles of Guinness Extra Stout. Cook for 4 hours and when done, EAT!!
So fun to see this St. Patrick's Day menu! Love the cookbooks. When I was first married in 1967, our grocery store offered these. Each week, we got the next one in the series and then the last was the holder. I gave mine away years ago, but recently found them again!
I found six or seven of those McCall's cookbooks at a thrift store while visiting my brother at Thanksgiving. The start of a collection! And i found some of the Good Housekeeping ones from the same era. (The ones with the long oval title area.) Someone must have donated all their old books because i walked out with a bunch that day!
I love to cook and bake and am a retired elementary school teacher. I have some of the Pyrex bowls-not a complete set but I have several sizes. I love them and use them all the time! And I have the Betty Crocker cookbook for a long time!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Anna, from a fellow anxious green lover. 😉💚 The add-in ‘vintage’ cookie video was fabulous , and is a prime example of why you have twice as many followers now. 😉 You are funny, honest, unassuming, and brave enough to trust your good cooking instincts and just give things a go! Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and for highlighting all these oldie but goodie recipes. 🍀
Love all your Cinderella Pyrex bowls. I have a collection also, but you have more rare ones than I do. I have the green crazy daisy ones also. I also have a variety of corningware, but no true collection. I was born in the mid-60’s and it is a bit hard to hear things from the 60’s-90’s called vintage. 😅
I would definitely try these cookies and I would probably add cardamom to them. That is definitely my favorite flavouring to add to misc baked goods. 😋😋😋
I love cardamom. When I making a similar recipe, called melting moments I use an extract called fiori d’ sicilia which is a combination of flavors including orange, vanilla and something else, it’s delicious.
The texture of the soup reminds me of my aunt's potato soup she learned to make from my Irish grandmother. I don't remember her putting cabbage in it. It was good. Find the Irish brown bread and make that....Happy St Patrick's Day!😊
Nice to once again see the gold pattern plates from my childhood! ❤And the peppermint cookies would be perfect for our St Patty’s Day potluck at work. We usually see how many green food items we can come up with and this is something new to add to the mix. 🍀
Hi Anna, Thank you for sharing the St. Patrick's Day recipes! Great addition to the usual corned beef and cabbage! Another video with fun and easy recipes!❤😊
You know I LOVE that vintage Pyrex!! Do you have the wire hanger that holds the tiny Cinderella bowl over the large Cinderella bowl turning it I to the chip & dip?! I wanna see your whole Pyrex collection!!
Love your videos. I love learning new things. I’ve never heard of the spice mace. You should do a Q&A video I would love to know more about you like what part of the country you live and if RUclips is your only job or if you have another job that you do if you’re married, do you have children you know all those nosy things people wanna know. 🙃
Thank you for watching! I have a small Q&A section in my 10k Subscribers video: ruclips.net/video/oWd6bWp1hEQ/видео.html I will probably do another one at some point, maybe when I reach 50k. To answer a few of your questions though - I currently live in Ohio but spent a year living in California (that's why some of my videos are in a different kitchen). I've been married for 20+ years, we don't have children, and at the moment RUclips is the biggest part of my job! I do a little bit of other freelance work as well.
i make my grandmothers colconnon all the time. hers is at least 150 years old. because her grandmother made it how her mother made it. my Gran was born in 1920. Ive had MANY versions of it and hands down its the best. peel and chunk potatoes in large pieces, top w chopped kale and cabbage and cover w just enough cold water to cover, add a lot of salt. simmer till tender. slice and rince one large leak and cover w cream and a sti k of itish butter. gentle simmer till leaks are tender. drain and mash potatoes, add cream and leaks, and diced crisp bacon add more S&P.. It's a meal in itself. the nore butter the better. seriously...its not a dish to eat and worry about calories...cuz you're getting them .
I just found you and this was delightful. I have a nice collection of cookbooks from the 1960s and 1970s because I graduated from high school in 1971 and married in 1976. My mother-in-law gave me the entire collection of the McCall's cookbook series. They were offered at the grocery store where she shopped at a cost of $1 each. I think a new one was offered each month. There are 18 in the collection and the 19th one is the Index & Recipe Reminder which lists the recipes for the 18 books. Fun stuff! Thank you.
I stream your channel all day sometimes at work (small town barber shop/salon combo) thanks & keep it up 😊 I’m gonna try to remember to like and comment more 😅😊
This is great. I'm making corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day. I think I'll make a loaf of oatmeal bread to go along. Lower on the salt for me though. We'll already be eating corned beef, after all.
@mmoretti Not true! The flavors are not similar. In some recipes, it won't matter, such as in this soup, but not in all recipes! I have learned this - to not substitute one for the other - from several professional cooks and chefs over the years. Again, sure, you can sub one for the other in SOME recipes, but in some recipes, mace is an integral part.
I love cabbage and potatoes together including soup! Those cookies are perfect for dessert after this hearty meal. I wonder if the oatmeal bread recipe McCall's used is really old and the original called for so much salt in an attempt to cover up the bitterness in the oats. I've never tasted bitterness in oats and really enjoy them in all kinds of recipes. Thank you for sharing these recipes, Anna. 💚🌷🙂
Amazing how those Melt Away Cookies finally came together as a dough. I learned something from watching you work it out. Hope you try a Colcannon recipe sometime down the road. I just love that dish. Thanks, Anna, for another great video and Happy St Patrick’s Day 🍀
Loved this. I shall be making those meltaway cookies for Easter. I was wondering if dipping the bottoms in chocolate like one does for coconut macaroons would be something to consider. We don't eat mint things, but the nieces and nephews love them, and I love being the favorite Aunt
I actually have 11 of those McCalls cookbooks that I’ve had since I was first married in 1975. Not a full set but I do have the index book. There were 18 of the cookbooks. I think I may have gotten them through mail order. I’m not sure. Also, I had butterfly gold dishes when we were first married. I don’t have them anymore, although I still have my bowls in that butterfly gold color, like the larger bowl you used. I have those yellow measuring cups as well. I’m so old!
I have to share what I did today. I wanted to make the Cabbage-Potato soup. I had saved the recipe into an app I use called ‘My Recipe Keeper’ but, since I’m also trying to lose weight, I use another app called ‘My Fitness Pal’ to download the recipe from the first app so that the calories and macros are all calculated for me. I had made everything and it was just starting to cook for the 20 minutes. Anyways, when My Fitness Pal matched the ingredients, it popped up with ‘pared grated apple’. I immediately assumed I had missed adding an ingredient so, without actually looking at the original recipe, I popped up, grabbed a couple apples, prepped them then pre-cooked them a bit in the microwave before adding it into the soup for the last 10 minutes cooking time. Once I sat down again to get back to what I had been doing, I realized that there were NO apples, just potatoes in the recipe. Too late, they’re in there. I finished the soup, blended it and had a taste. Seemed very good so I added the parm and bacon then served it up. It was very good but now I need to make it again without the apple to compare with what I ended up with! I guess that’s how new recipes come about.
Love your videos ❤. you reminded me so much of me in my younger days. I was always loved making my grandmas recipes fun thing is my kids one is 50 years old other 48 years old now. And they are making them for there families and now my grandkids love them ❤. So they will be passed on again. Thanks for always sharing ❤
Hi wanted to let you know the potato cabbage soup list of ingredients is missing the onion. Enjoyed this video - I started subscribing to you several months ago but have gone back and watched quite a few of your previous videos. Your personality and your enthusiasm for vintage cookbooks are so enjoyable to watch. I think I may make this soup too
Yeah, I would imagine you are correct cause soda bread is traditionally round so it is probably that loaf that is the soda. I love using pinhead oatmeal, oats etc in my loaves. I make soda bread a lot because it is easy and quick and my mother taught me how to bake it when I was 8 or 9 (I couldn't reach into our oven safely before then but I was making and mixing the dough before that age) I am born and raised and live in Ireland my whole life and every Saturday my mother got up and baked apple pies on a plate, soda bread, fairy cakes and the house smelled wonderful. She worked full time driving buses as my parents had a small bus company but she cooked every day and baked on Saturday and I miss her every single day since I lost her. She used recipes her mother passed down to her and I use the same recipes today to carry on the "Irish Mammy" legacy. Lovely video as always. I am always surprised by the American cookbook's versions of foods that they say are Irish, like the soup. Never seen or heard of any Irish family making a soup like that. Looks good though and I mean, we do eat a lot of potatoes and cabbage to be fair ! Edit: I am laughing a lot here (not in a snarky way at all) about the parmesan cheese in the soup. I am just imagining an Irish peasant (as most of these recipes that are soups with spuds and veg are from the peasants who were left with the scraps of meat and potatoes and veg that the landowner didn't want or were grown in the farmer's own small plot to feed his family) getting her hands on Italian cheese and throw it in a pot of soup. Sorry, just struck me as funny
The Russian tea cakes I made for Christmas every year would never even come close to making the amount the recipe stated. And, they took longer to bake. So, I got out a ruler to measure the 1" diameter said in the recipe. Wow! Was I ever off! These too, make very small cookies. Bite sized and super-sized like today's cookies. I'll try the cookie recipe you featured in this video!
For future reference you can tell people that 1 cup of cake flour substitute is 1 cup of ap flour take away 2 tablespoons of that ap flour and substitute 2 tablespoons of corn starch or arrowroot. Most people don't have cake flour on hand. Cake flour in the box is a little expensive!
Hi, Anna. To heck with anyone leaving snarky comments. Where is THEIR RUclips channel (with 42,100+ subscribers, by the way), so we can leave snarky comments for them?! Grr.. I had an idea on why you are not tasting much of the cabbage - I am 59 1/2 years old and I swear, food had more TASTE when I was young. Spinach tasted more spinach-y, chicken tasted more chicken-y, turkey was soooo flavorful, and in general, EVERYTHING tasted more intensely. So, the cabbage of today just isn't as tasty, so it therefore won't impart much flavor into a soup. Lastly, as you pulled the wooden spoon from the soup and the spoon was smiling into the camera, I had to smile right back. I love that spoon!
I would really love to see more videos on Frugal meals I enjoyed the spam video you did, which I know was a challenge for you because I can tell you don't like spam. But I love spam and would love more ideas on how to use it. Many families are relying on spam for their families protein needs. Thank you for all your videos .
I just had oral surgery and this potato cabbage soup is perfect timing for me! And I have everything but mace. I don't think I could identify mace in a taste lineup!
Maybe you could do that bread in cupcake molds! Since it's like a salty snack. And have it as a salty side w things. And maybe top cheese over it? Just not sure how to adjust cooking time
Ha I hadn't even noticed! But it's definitely pm in this case. Better light for filming. Now when it comes to editing my videos....sometimes I do that at at 3:18am. 😂
I'm thinking coleslaw mix would work as a shortcut ingredient for the cabbage potato soup, since it's mostly shredded cabbage with a few carrot shreds. Might make the color a little different, but for someone like myself that struggles with chronic illness, any shortcuts for prepping ingredients make it more likely I can make the recipe instead of wishing I could but lacking the energy to follow through.
I too have a jar of mace I bought specifically for one recipe. In my case it was Vincent Price's Pumpkin Pie. I didn't care for the taste too much (of the mace, the pie as a whole was okay) but I'd be willing to try it in other recipes. Great video as always!
Another great vintage international cookbook is New York Times International Cook Book copyright 1971. They don’t have Irish, but they do have a really good variety of countries. The recipes seem, for the most part, more complex. I haven’t tried any yet.
looks good- If I made the oatmeal bread I would reduce the salt since my hubby has high bp-the soup looks good-leave out the bacon and its great for lent!
I once read that Britain's national loaf (the bread eaten during WWII) also was quite salty. Supposedly it kept longer this way? Today I would halve the amount of salt.
All I can say about the remarks you are seeing that seem "snarky" is people need to check themselves at the door. There is no reason or need to be mean or nasty period. If they think they can do it better then they need to do it. I love the fact that you actually use the vintage recipe books and substitute very little. Those cooky's are great though. I finally found that Betty Cooky Book at the thrift store too. What a find you have a great day

We don't get to break our fasts for St Patrick's Day! At least not that I've ever heard of 😞
I remember Flight of the Doves, my friends and I went to see it in the theater because our crush Jack Wild was in it.
I've made those melt away cookies every Christmas since I was a kid. Everyone loves them! Never thought to use peppermint extract...
The mint cookies would be good with the bottoms dipped in chocolate 😋
Great idea!
Ooh I love this idea!
Yesssss, definitely.👍

PS: rainbows are seasonally appropriate - after all the leprechauns keep their treasure there.
Those are adorable cookies. You turned them into leprechaun cookies because they found their pot of gold! So much fun, Thanks for a great video.
McCall's! My grandma subscribed to that magazine years ago and I loved it.
We use recipes from the Merry Eating Cookbook for our traditional Christmas baking - still awesome today

Thanks for sharing these delicious looking recipes! I love your spoon with a smiley face. Where did you get it?
i make my grandmothers colconnon all the time. hers is at least 150 years old. because her grandmother made it how her mother made it. my Gran was born in 1920. Ive had MANY versions of it and hands down its the best. peel and chunk potatoes in large pieces, top w chopped kale and cabbage and cover w just enough cold water to cover, add a lot of salt. simmer till tender. slice and rince one large leak and cover w cream and a sti k of itish butter. gentle simmer till leaks are tender. drain and mash potatoes, add cream and leaks, and diced crisp bacon add more S&P.. It's a meal in itself. the nore butter the better. seriously...its not a dish to eat and worry about calories...cuz you're getting them .
Oh! Talk about a Flash from the Past .. McCall's World-Wide Cooking. Love this and your content. Great channel! Love the green bowl.
I just found you and this was delightful. I have a nice collection of cookbooks from the 1960s and 1970s because I graduated from high school in 1971 and married in 1976. My mother-in-law gave me the entire collection of the McCall's cookbook series. They were offered at the grocery store where she shopped at a cost of $1 each. I think a new one was offered each month. There are 18 in the collection and the 19th one is the Index & Recipe Reminder which lists the recipes for the 18 books. Fun stuff! Thank you.
I stream your channel all day sometimes at work (small town barber shop/salon combo) thanks & keep it up 😊 I’m gonna try to remember to like and comment more 😅😊
Oh wow! Glad you're enjoying my videos. ❤
This is great. I'm making corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day. I think I'll make a loaf of oatmeal bread to go along. Lower on the salt for me though. We'll already be eating corned beef, after all.
for the cookies you could roll the cookies in the sanding sugar before you bake them.
I love mint, so I'm going to try the meltaways. Yum! My best friend's birthday is in St. Patrick's Day so we always have a reason to go all out. 😂
Thank you, I so enjoy your videos. Have a great week 😊
Thank you!! You do the same!
Happy St Patrick’s say, Anna! Mace is the coating that grows around nutmegs, you can sub nutmeg for mace as the flavor is fairly similar
Thanks for that info!
@mmoretti Not true! The flavors are not similar. In some recipes, it won't matter, such as in this soup, but not in all recipes! I have learned this - to not substitute one for the other - from several professional cooks and chefs over the years. Again, sure, you can sub one for the other in SOME recipes, but in some recipes, mace is an integral part.
We always have Guinness stew on st Patrick’s day and a Guinness loaf!!
Loved this video!
I love the mint melt away cookies. They are one of my favorite cookies.
I love cabbage and potatoes together including soup! Those cookies are perfect for dessert after this hearty meal. I wonder if the oatmeal bread recipe McCall's used is really old and the original called for so much salt in an attempt to cover up the bitterness in the oats. I've never tasted bitterness in oats and really enjoy them in all kinds of recipes. Thank you for sharing these recipes, Anna. 💚🌷🙂
I'm trying to think of the last recipe I used mace in. I don't see it very often. Enjoyed your video as always :)
Enjoying the green kitchen bowls
The soup.and the bread looked so yummy
Amazing how those Melt Away Cookies finally came together as a dough. I learned something from watching you work it out. Hope you try a Colcannon recipe sometime down the road. I just love that dish. Thanks, Anna, for another great video and Happy St Patrick’s Day 🍀
I LOVE soups and stews, and bread!!
Omg love the 🦕 ladle ❤
It was a Christmas gift from a friend! Also, it's very hard to see, but in the final section of the video I'm wearing dinosaur earrings. 😄
@@cooking_the_books I missed the earrings lol now I’ll have to watch again and check them out! 😉
Loved this. I shall be making those meltaway cookies for Easter. I was wondering if dipping the bottoms in chocolate like one does for coconut macaroons would be something to consider. We don't eat mint things, but the nieces and nephews love them, and I love being the favorite Aunt
I think they'd be delicious dipped in a little bit of chocolate! 😋
I actually have 11 of those McCalls cookbooks that I’ve had since I was first married in 1975. Not a full set but I do have the index book. There were 18 of the cookbooks. I think I may have gotten them through mail order. I’m not sure. Also, I had butterfly gold dishes when we were first married. I don’t have them anymore, although I still have my bowls in that butterfly gold color, like the larger bowl you used. I have those yellow measuring cups as well. I’m so old!
I have to share what I did today. I wanted to make the Cabbage-Potato soup. I had saved the recipe into an app I use called ‘My Recipe Keeper’ but, since I’m also trying to lose weight, I use another app called ‘My Fitness Pal’ to download the recipe from the first app so that the calories and macros are all calculated for me. I had made everything and it was just starting to cook for the 20 minutes. Anyways, when My Fitness Pal matched the ingredients, it popped up with ‘pared grated apple’. I immediately assumed I had missed adding an ingredient so, without actually looking at the original recipe, I popped up, grabbed a couple apples, prepped them then pre-cooked them a bit in the microwave before adding it into the soup for the last 10 minutes cooking time. Once I sat down again to get back to what I had been doing, I realized that there were NO apples, just potatoes in the recipe. Too late, they’re in there. I finished the soup, blended it and had a taste. Seemed very good so I added the parm and bacon then served it up. It was very good but now I need to make it again without the apple to compare with what I ended up with! I guess that’s how new recipes come about.
I had my first shamrock shake today..its been 3 years..i must make those cookies and soup!

Oh, no--I love the gold sanding sugar! I need to get some of that for Mardi Gras next year!
I almost burned my oatmeal bars watching.😆
oh no!! 😂 hope all is well now!
Love your videos ❤.
you reminded me so much of me in my younger days. I was always loved making my grandmas recipes fun thing is my kids one is 50 years old other 48 years old now. And they are making them for there families and now my grandkids love them ❤. So they will be passed on again. Thanks for always sharing ❤
The soup and bread looked so tasty - I’ll have to give that a try
Hi wanted to let you know the potato cabbage soup list of ingredients is missing the onion.
Enjoyed this video - I started subscribing to you several months ago but have gone back and watched quite a few of your previous videos. Your personality and your enthusiasm for vintage cookbooks are so enjoyable to watch. I think I may make this soup too
Yeah, I would imagine you are correct cause soda bread is traditionally round so it is probably that loaf that is the soda. I love using pinhead oatmeal, oats etc in my loaves. I make soda bread a lot because it is easy and quick and my mother taught me how to bake it when I was 8 or 9 (I couldn't reach into our oven safely before then but I was making and mixing the dough before that age)
I am born and raised and live in Ireland my whole life and every Saturday my mother got up and baked apple pies on a plate, soda bread, fairy cakes and the house smelled wonderful. She worked full time driving buses as my parents had a small bus company but she cooked every day and baked on Saturday and I miss her every single day since I lost her. She used recipes her mother passed down to her and I use the same recipes today to carry on the "Irish Mammy" legacy.
Lovely video as always.
I am always surprised by the American cookbook's versions of foods that they say are Irish, like the soup. Never seen or heard of any Irish family making a soup like that. Looks good though and I mean, we do eat a lot of potatoes and cabbage to be fair !
Edit: I am laughing a lot here (not in a snarky way at all) about the parmesan cheese in the soup. I am just imagining an Irish peasant (as most of these recipes that are soups with spuds and veg are from the peasants who were left with the scraps of meat and potatoes and veg that the landowner didn't want or were grown in the farmer's own small plot to feed his family) getting her hands on Italian cheese and throw it in a pot of soup. Sorry, just struck me as funny
The Russian tea cakes I made for Christmas every year would never even come close to making the amount the recipe stated. And, they took longer to bake. So, I got out a ruler to measure the 1" diameter said in the recipe. Wow! Was I ever off! These too, make very small cookies. Bite sized and super-sized like today's cookies. I'll try the cookie recipe you featured in this video!
Everything looks great! I'd make these recipes! By the way, for those curious, the soup recipe called for 1/2 cup onion.
For future reference you can tell people that 1 cup of cake flour substitute is 1 cup of ap flour take away 2 tablespoons of that ap flour and substitute 2 tablespoons of corn starch or arrowroot. Most people don't have cake flour on hand. Cake flour in the box is a little expensive!
Those melt away cookies are similar to my shortbread recipe.
Hi, Anna. To heck with anyone leaving snarky comments. Where is THEIR RUclips channel (with 42,100+ subscribers, by the way), so we can leave snarky comments for them?! Grr..
I had an idea on why you are not tasting much of the cabbage - I am 59 1/2 years old and I swear, food had more TASTE when I was young. Spinach tasted more spinach-y, chicken tasted more chicken-y, turkey was soooo flavorful, and in general, EVERYTHING tasted more intensely. So, the cabbage of today just isn't as tasty, so it therefore won't impart much flavor into a soup.
Lastly, as you pulled the wooden spoon from the soup and the spoon was smiling into the camera, I had to smile right back. I love that spoon!
Love the oatmeal bread. I’m going to try after work.
I have that same big green Pyrex bowl! I’ll have to bust that out next weekend ☘️
Wait but we need a vintage mixing bowl tour
Yes please, great idea.
I’d love to see what Indian recipes in a book from the 1960s would look like!
Haha! 😃 Loved the drop-in cookie recipe from a year ago and the looks on your face during that. Well done.
never heard of mace. looks amazing get wait to try thanks
I would really love to see more videos on Frugal meals I enjoyed the spam video you did, which I know was a challenge for you because I can tell you don't like spam. But I love spam and would love more ideas on how to use it. Many families are relying on spam for their families protein needs. Thank you for all your videos .
I just had oral surgery and this potato cabbage soup is perfect timing for me! And I have everything but mace. I don't think I could identify mace in a taste lineup!
Oh gosh I hope you're feeling better soon! You can sub in nutmeg for the mace.
Maybe you could do that bread in cupcake molds! Since it's like a salty snack. And have it as a salty side w things. And maybe top cheese over it? Just not sure how to adjust cooking time
Top of the morning to ya! 🍀 Your watch says 3:18, is that a.m. or p.m.? Dedication...thank you, love your videos
Ha I hadn't even noticed! But it's definitely pm in this case. Better light for filming. Now when it comes to editing my videos....sometimes I do that at at 3:18am. 😂
❤Making that soup for sure!
It was so tasty and very easy to prepare! 😋
Thanks so much ❤
I'm thinking coleslaw mix would work as a shortcut ingredient for the cabbage potato soup, since it's mostly shredded cabbage with a few carrot shreds. Might make the color a little different, but for someone like myself that struggles with chronic illness, any shortcuts for prepping ingredients make it more likely I can make the recipe instead of wishing I could but lacking the energy to follow through.
just wanted to let you know I'm very happy I tried Rocket Money, good choice!
Hi gal!
Love your program.
😊
Thank you! ❤
Happy St. Patrick's day. Maybe next time you're dipping cookies in sugar, try using a fork. It's so much easier to shake excess sugar off.
I too have a jar of mace I bought specifically for one recipe. In my case it was Vincent Price's Pumpkin Pie. I didn't care for the taste too much (of the mace, the pie as a whole was okay) but I'd be willing to try it in other recipes. Great video as always!
I had to buy mace to make Colcannon for an Irish-themed supper. Look it up, it was a mashed potato and cabbage dish and I rather liked it.
Gosh I love your channel 💕
Thank you for sharing these recipes 😁
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my videos. ❤
Another great vintage international cookbook is New York Times International Cook Book copyright 1971. They don’t have Irish, but they do have a really good variety of countries. The recipes seem, for the most part, more complex. I haven’t tried any yet.
looks good- If I made the oatmeal bread I would reduce the salt since my hubby has high bp-the soup looks good-leave out the bacon and its great for lent!
I once read that Britain's national loaf (the bread eaten during WWII) also was quite salty. Supposedly it kept longer this way? Today I would halve the amount of salt.
I was unsure about the cabbage potato soup until I saw the bacon and cheese and then I was like, OK!
All I can say about the remarks you are seeing that seem "snarky" is people need to check themselves at the door. There is no reason or need to be mean or nasty period. If they think they can do it better then they need to do it. I love the fact that you actually use the vintage recipe books and substitute very little. Those cooky's are great though. I finally found that Betty Cooky Book at the thrift store too. What a find you have a great day
