The real winners are the ones that make recipes that stand the test of time. Peanut Butter Blossoms are a holiday staple every single year in my family.
Anna I have been a subscriber for awhile. You are such a comforting person for me, and my Mom is on hospice right now and this video is just what my stressed mind needs. God bless you!
I swear by chocolate and cookies for when your heart is heavy. It's something our loved ones enjoy as well. When my dad was on hospice and we had round the clock nurses, and late nights, I'd go in the kitchen and bake. I was making oatmeal cookies one night at 10 to my husband's shock. And yes, those cookies hit the spot. My dad woke up to the smell of warm cookies.
I remember reading somewhere that French Silk Pie won the Pillsbury Bake-Off in the 1950s. That's one of my favorites and has become an all-time classic. 😊
@cooking_the_books After I commented, I did the research. It won the third Pillsbury Bake-Off. Thank you, Mrs. Betty Cooper, for submitting it. She created probably one of the most famous desserts in history. It's still going strong today.
Aaaaaaaa new uploads from Anna are the best part of my Sunday! Also your book haul playlist is my happy place, when I am feeling stressed I love to hear you talking about your books! I anticipate an even more stressful time soon and I’m making plans to go thrifting for some vintage cookbooks to help soothe my soul 💜 Thanks for your content, you rule Anna!
I find the book hauls very soothing, too! Good hunting to you, and I hope the stress will be less than you anticipate. I'm coming out of a stressful couple of months myself, and hoping for more calm for a while.
Not only did I take a bite of a baker's chocolate bar, I also took a big ol' swig of vanilla extract, which my Mom promptly made me wipe off the cupboard doors when I spewed it out... LOL... live and learn! I have a recipe for Kruscheiki, a Polish cookie (think Italian Bowties) and the egg yolks need to be beaten thick and "lemon yellow", and it does make a huge difference in texture. Not sure with the addition of cheese, but I have a good idea of the texture of the Cheesolettes. Gotta try 'em! Thanx for another awesome vid!
I have several of th Bake Off smaller booklets. My mother used to make the prize winner of 1955, Nut Ring-A-Lings. They are AWESOME with the orange zest in the dough. I still make these to this day and everyone loves them!!!!
I remember sitting with my mother In the mid 1960’s At a bake-off at the Illinois State Fair. She was not a contestant but went home with a great cake recipe!
We really don’t know the names of many of these women (like the peanut butter blossom lady) because they used their husband’s names. It was the standard of the time but it makes me sad that married women lost their identities.
I love that you delight in the little things, like an egg cracking so cleanly in half. Those small things enjoyed are what make cooking and baking so satisfying, l think. I'd love to see an apple based menu or series. Or a series that addresses seasonal produce, especially the glut of fruits or vegetables.
My cousin won the Pillsbury Bake Off 20 years ago or so. She won a lot of cooking competitions. She got a lot of loot and made a lot of trips. I used to compete with her and her daughters in the Montana Winter Fair foods division. I won a lot too, but never was motivated to send anything to Pillsbury.
The fast food restaurant Roy Rogers used to serve a dessert called apple cheese crisp. This was apple pie filling, a cinnamon crumble and a shredded cheddar cheese top. LOVED that dessert.
HEY ANNA, how about we do a color themed series?! Match book cover color with bowls, apron, & ingredients/recipe. It just popped into my head. Example: Red Betty crocker cookbook Bowls with red on them Red velvet cake, tomato salad, strawberry soda, mini meatloaves with ketchup glaze, Louisiana red rice.
My Mom received that book as a gift in, I think, 1953. She gave it to me when I made the "Porch Supper Braids". She and my aunt loved them so much....I used to make those braids for them all the time.❤
I just know you and I would be good friends! I collect old cookbooks, the older the better! My delight in cooking as a kid began with the bake off books. I read it so often (and baked with them) that the cover nearly broke off. I have since collected the bake off booklets and I said to myself while watching you show the big book "i wonder if she has seen the first one?" Surprise! You have it! I have been looking for that one for decades. I have most of the others as well as the compilation books. Heres something funny, I always wanted to compete and so I practiced and studied baking in high school vo-tech. I so wanted to compete! After graduation I went to cooking school at the CIA in Hyde Park NY. Then i found out i couldn't compete because I am now classified "professional "! Just my luck! Thanks for the fun video. If you ever find another #1 booklet let me know!
I love making quick breads. When I moved to France, I brought some kitchen things, including my 3X5 loaf pans. I can usually take a quick bread recipe and make it into 3 or 4 mini loaves. They make perfect gifts and my French neighbors love them. I’ll have to try the apple cheese ones.
❤ Looking forward to this all day! I plan on a trip to Half Price Books next week with my sister and hope this one is there. If not, I think we'll still find treasures in the wild! The one I like to go to usually has a great selection at awesome prices. Thank you, Anna! 💐💐💐😊
@@cooking_the_books Thank you, Anna. We're in North Texas so if we don't find what we're looking for locally, we might head out further afield to Dallas, maybe the flagship store, but I think there will be treasures here. ✨😊
I think the cheesolettes would be good with some green onion sprinkles on top, or even a little onion cream sauce or sour cream. Who doesn't need more dairy?
I love this site. I have some of these same little cookbooks - they show up at Library book sales by the bucketful. I used to go over them with my Mom in the 1960's, picking out things to make.
4/16/2024: Aloha from Hawaii. Luv your channel! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. New Subceriber 🏆 Are all those books behind you COOKBOOKS? Wow! My baby sister likes to collect cookbooks. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yes, they're cookbooks...and that's not even my vintage collection! 😂 I keep my more modern cookbooks in one place and my vintage collection in another.
Anna, I just love your channel! Your personality & your recipes are EXCEPTIONAL & ASTOUNDING ! I can never wait to see what your making next! ~ Hugs Anita3kids 💜🙏🏽🧶🦋
I was having a rough day, fighting the last of a cold and the cherry on top, I fell through our family room picture window this morning before work! Thankfully the draperies took the brunt of it, I only cut my finger, and we had just bought a new bay window. (I guess this is our sign to install it sooner than later!) In short, I really needed your fun and cheerful video! Thank you so much.❤
I'm giving Factor a try! The food looks great. Excited to try it. First box arrives this Monday. edited to include: I like that you can skip weeks and cancel anytime. No getting locked into something for months.
I have the original books my mom collected each year. They were well used, with stains on some of the pages and one I particularly remember the Teen Bean Bake…we loved it!
Cheesy bread is delicious! Coincidentally, earlier today, my mum and I decided that we should bake parmesan and tarragon bread next week. I hope it'll be as wonderful as I remember!
I’m 60 and I have my grandmas’ Gold Medal Brand recipe box. I think it’s from the ‘40s. Gold Medal recipe cards and my grandma clipped wwII newspaper recipes with alternative ingredients.
I was in northeast Ohio visiting my mom last week and managed to get to her local Friends of the Library booksale. I got SO MANY vintage cookbooks! Even a few that you've shown on this channel. It was all very exciting, lol. Usually I'm paying through the nose on Ebay/Etsy.
When I first heard about the Bake-Off the first recipe I learned of was mixing cherry pie filling into chocolate cake mix. I think that is so clever! Then I tried to invent a recipe, using their pie dough, smeared with their German chocolate frosting, and rolled into, cinnamon roll style cookies. I never heard back from them! Ha ha I’m not surprised.
I have a reprint of this book. I love it! When you mentioned the Orange Kiss Me cake, I almost cried. I can remember my grandmother making it for us. I have made it many times in years past. What happy memories! I think I will make it today! Thank you for your videos!
2 of my very favorite Bake Off recipes were from the late 60s / early 70s.Crazy Crust Cobbler and the other one was a casserole with canned biscuits on top and I think I grated cheese on top of them. But the base of the casserole was ground beef and pork n beans and probably brown sugar. I have lost that recipe somewhere in the many moves I have made from parents to first husband to single life to 2nd husband and military moves spanning from 1974 to last move 35 years ago. Lol. If you could find the casserole, maybe you could make on video. I think it was called something like poor man's casserole (????). Tia
You’ve REALLY gotten me into the older cookbooks! I had a couple of Betty Crocker cookbooks from the early 70s in storage and found them last week! When I opened the box, I squealed! My guy just laughed and shook his head. And then I ordered two more on Amazon that I didn’t have. Thanks for another great video. Oh, and I have one of my grandmother’s Pilsbury Bake Off small cookbooks from the 50s. I love it!!
So, my mom was a working lady in the sixties and big on social group meetings. Nut breads were all the rage then, though she used pecans (because we had 3 pecan trees in the yard) in hers. Those owl cookies are unique looking and the apple bread sounds good.
24:00 Anna, if you look carefully, there is most likely an explanation (caption) of what the pictures in the beginning of the book. Look on the title page, early on in the book, and there is most likely a caption for the pics of the bake-off, the awards ceremony, etc. I loved this episode. I remember making those hoot-owl cookies and they were so much fun, but we kids kind of were not exact enough so our owls were basically little terrifying monsters.
You are just the loveliest... Absolutely adore your videos. Find them all so comforting. My mom and I made so many of these recipes together. And I made them with my boys. Thank you 🙏♥️
Hi Anna, I just got this cookbook at my local library book sale! Thank you for featuring a few of the recipes! Can't wait to try them! Wish there was smell-o-vision, so we the viewers can smell the delicious meals you are preparing in every video! YOU ARE AWESOME!❤❤❤
I discovered your channel late last year, and it has been so fun to watch. I have this cookbook and many others that you have featured in recent videos. I also have almost all the Farm Journal cookbooks that feature recipes from people all over the country. The recipes came from a section of the Farm Journal magazine called The Farmer's Wife. It was a precursor of the Taste of Home magazine. I am 82, so these were the books I was buying over the years. It is so great that someone from a younger generation is making and sharing these recipes.
What a great cookbook! And as usual, you picked some unique recipes to try. Always enjoy seeing what you will cook next. 😊 Also, those peanut butter blossoms are my favorite cookies! ❤
I love the recipes, and I’m looking forward to trying them. Thank you for the review of the book also. I love the photos in the book. The cookbook looks so interesting! Great video.
Another iconic recipe from that book are the marshmallows wrapped inside cresent rolls and baked...that nobody ever gives proper credit to the creator and they always call them "Resurrection" something or another.
Have an older version with dough. It's magic muffins. Resurrection meringues are just egg whites with sugar left in the oven till Easter Sunday morning.
The cheeseolettes sound like they'd be good as a brunch item. I thought from the thumbnail of them they were kinda a corn cake. I bet they'd be good like a corn cake as a side to something. Or, maybe with fruit on the side, and of course your breakfast meat option. So, being egg, maybe they'd be good with a dollop of cream cheese (like sometimes I do a cream cheese omelet) or sour cream (kinda like I would a corn cake). I may have to try this soon! Thank you for the apple bread recipe! I have some aged sharp English cheddar from Costco that needs to be used, and some old apples in the fridge. Sounds like the perfect use for both! (I will add more 🧀! 😋) Anna, how many apples did you use for the bread?
This book: my absolute favorite of all my mother’s cookbooks! I wore the cover off it because I loved it so much as a child and teen. I found a pristine copy at an antique store and gave it to my mom and kept the worn one. You are inspiring me to get it back out and use it again♥️
I thought of you yesterday when I was working our Friends of the Library booksale. Someone had donated a bunch of those Bear Wallow Books cooking booklets. I remember you cooking from one of them so I had to go back through your videos to find it--Tomato Pudding! As always, enjoyed this new video very much.
I absolutely love your channel! Your cookbook collection is absolutely stunning! I too love vintage cookbooks and their illustrations! I would just like to say I'm quite surprised that you do not have a vintage hand mixer in your collection of vintage items! They probably work better than any of the newer ones! Anyway, absolutely love watching your videos! You are a delight! Carry on!❤
One of my favorite dishes as a child was a Pillsbury Bake off recipe called Potato Pan Burgers. It's a creamy mix of creamed hamburger topped with instant mashed potatoes mixed with sour cream and dropped on top like dumplings. My mother never made it much when I was a kid (I think she said it was too putzy which is strange because she was a fabulous cook) but I ended up with the recipe and have made it a few times as an adult and I still love it. Your video has made me crave it again and I think I'll have to dig out the recipe and whip it up!
You took the word right out of my mouth when you said that the owlet cookies would be great for Halloween . I was thinking the same thing and then you said it. I'm going to try the peppy apple cheese bread. And the Hawaiian banana bread recipe you shared in a different video is my new favorite banana recipe. ❤️
Not sure why, but watching these videos have an unexplained calming effect on me.
I feel the same way. Don't know what part either, but yes.
Her personality and voice. It’s just the right combo to calm us.
I feel the same way
Same here for all of the above reasons and also due to the fact everything is retro: food, books, dishes, etc. I love all the decades and can relate.
When I first found this channel I was recovering from surgery but couldn't stay awake to watch her videos because her voice is so calming!!!
"It's not gonna hurt a dang thing."
My favorite kind of cook. Never let the food win.
My grandmother was a pillsbury finalist in 1952! Orange grove dessert by Mrs. Felix Karpinski!
The real winners are the ones that make recipes that stand the test of time. Peanut Butter Blossoms are a holiday staple every single year in my family.
I love vintage recipes. I also loved them when they were new recipes.
Anna I have been a subscriber for awhile. You are such a comforting person for me, and my Mom is on hospice right now and this video is just what my stressed mind needs. God bless you!
Prayers up for your mom and your family 🙏
Prayers for your momma!

"In my heart she won." Mine, too, dear Anna. ✊️❤
I loved when the Pillsbury Bake-Offs were aired on tv.
We really don’t know the names of many of these women (like the peanut butter blossom lady) because they used their husband’s names. It was the standard of the time but it makes me sad that married women lost their identities.
The little owls are so cute. Also, I love the name Orange Kiss-Me Cake. Maybe you can make that some day!
The owl cookies would be a hit with my friends and family who are Girl Guides.
Hooray! So great to see the Hoot Owl Cookies again! One of the best episodes ever! 🦉😃✨
I love that you delight in the little things, like an egg cracking so cleanly in half. Those small things enjoyed are what make cooking and baking so satisfying, l think.

My mom used to buy all of those PLLSBRY bake off cook books. After I grew up i bought them in the late 8ps and early o0s…… great recipes!!!!!
I am fascinated by the cheeseolettes!
I didn't get to try them for breakfast in time for filming, BUT I have since eaten all of them and they reheated so well!
And the young woman was only 19 when she came up with them!
the bake-off prize in 1949 of $50,000 have a buying power of $606,000 today!
HEY ANNA, how about we do a color themed series?! Match book cover color with bowls, apron, & ingredients/recipe. It just popped into my head.
Example: Red
Betty crocker cookbook
Bowls with red on them
Red velvet cake, tomato salad, strawberry soda, mini meatloaves with ketchup glaze, Louisiana red rice.
Who could ever forget the funny face hamburgers, lol.
Anna, I cant stop thinking about those little omelette pancakes topped with a little pulled pork or beef and drizzled with bbq sauce. Yum!
They'd be soooo good with pulled pork of beef! 😋
I sure do enjoy your videos!!!! This one was delightfully fun! :) Thank you for brightening my day!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. 😊
My Mom received that book as a gift in, I think, 1953. She gave it to me when I made the "Porch Supper Braids". She and my aunt loved them so much....I used to make those braids for them all the time.❤

I think I have that orange cake recipe. Sounds very similar to something I used to make back in the 70s.
Maybe not make cookies but you could make muffins with that batter. Also I love apples and cheese together
I'm giving Factor a try! The food looks great. Excited to try it. First box arrives this Monday. edited to include: I like that you can skip weeks and cancel anytime. No getting locked into something for months.

I vaguely remember seeing you several months ago. Anyhow I'm glad you are on my feed again. I very much enjoy seeing how you make these recipes.
Owls cute, I would be more likely to make apple, cheese loaf.

You might try some Baby Rays BBQ sauce with that egg pancake too, that will add some spice to them as well. Great video Anna have a great day
The owl cookies are super cute
Im so happy i found your channel!! ❤🙏🏼❤️
The cheeseolettes looked like mashed potato panckes...I had no idea they were a cheese pancake! All you made looked delish!
Just love you.🥰God Bless

FOLD IN THE CHEESE! ~ Moira Rose
Maybe if the cheese was in chunks instead of shredded you'd get a slightly bigger bite and it would stand out more?
Sour cream might be good with the cheeseolettes.
Peppy Apple Cheese bread recipe! That was a detailed printed recipe! I wish all recipes directions were printed like that.
So, my mom was a working lady in the sixties and big on social group meetings. Nut breads were all the rage then, though she used pecans (because we had 3 pecan trees in the yard) in hers. Those owl cookies are unique looking and the apple bread sounds good.

So, being egg, maybe they'd be good with a dollop of cream cheese (like sometimes I do a cream cheese omelet) or sour cream (kinda like I would a corn cake). I may have to try this soon!
Thank you for the apple bread recipe! I have some aged sharp English cheddar from Costco that needs to be used, and some old apples in the fridge. Sounds like the perfect use for both! (I will add more 🧀! 😋)
Anna, how many apples did you use for the bread?
I ended up using 1 1/2 large granny smith apples.
@@cooking_the_books thank you! 💙👩🏻🍳
This book: my absolute favorite of all my mother’s cookbooks! I wore the cover off it because I loved it so much as a child and teen. I found a pristine copy at an antique store and gave it to my mom and kept the worn one. You are inspiring me to get it back out and use it again♥️
Forgot to mention my favorite recipe was Cherry Blossom Dessert.
You are the best!! You have inspired me to try my hand at baking!!
Go for it!! 🤩
My mom had a bunch of the bake off cookbooks
Better yet! I tried the "Chocolate" Ex-Lax! 😅
Keep up the great work Anna! Love your videos!!
Thank you!
I noticed your dinner plate where you put the cookies. That is the same dinner ware my grandmother had and now I have it! I love them so much.
Yeah! Anna’s here!!!
It's a party! 😅
I thought of you yesterday when I was working our Friends of the Library booksale. Someone had donated a bunch of those Bear Wallow Books cooking booklets. I remember you cooking from one of them so I had to go back through your videos to find it--Tomato Pudding! As always, enjoyed this new video very much.
Great recipes! I love all the shades of green in today's episode! Thanks, Anna!
Green is my favorite color! ☺Thanks for watching!
@@cooking_the_books Mine, too!!
I absolutely love your channel! Your cookbook collection is absolutely stunning! I too love vintage cookbooks and their illustrations! I would just like to say I'm quite surprised that you do not have a vintage hand mixer in your collection of vintage items! They probably work better than any of the newer ones! Anyway, absolutely love watching your videos! You are a delight! Carry on!❤
One of my favorite dishes as a child was a Pillsbury Bake off recipe called Potato Pan Burgers. It's a creamy mix of creamed hamburger topped with instant mashed potatoes mixed with sour cream and dropped on top like dumplings. My mother never made it much when I was a kid (I think she said it was too putzy which is strange because she was a fabulous cook) but I ended up with the recipe and have made it a few times as an adult and I still love it. Your video has made me crave it again and I think I'll have to dig out the recipe and whip it up!
Ok I gotta keep an eye out for this one - looks like it was in the 13th bake off booklet. It sounds delicious! 😋
@@cooking_the_books totally delish!
Interesting recipe choices as usual!
I love seeing your mid century modern decor in the Factor part of the video. You have great style!
Thank you! ☺
Also thinking of you--have you seen the Lodge cast iron Dolly Parton cookware?
YES! Lyrics from my favorite Dolly song appear on one of the skillets! 😍
You took the word right out of my mouth when you said that the owlet cookies would be great for Halloween . I was thinking the same thing and then you said it. I'm going to try the peppy apple cheese bread. And the Hawaiian banana bread recipe you shared in a different video is my new favorite banana recipe. ❤️
I love that you've tried the banana bread recipe! I think it's the recipe I've made over again the most out of all my videos.
