Make an Entire Meal Using Old-fashion Recipes From My Vintage Recipe Collection
Feeling nostalgic or just wanting to enjoy an old-fashion meal? Following are recipes to help you create an entire meal like grandma used to make. All these recipes are from my vintage recipe collection. Start with a chicken casserole, add baked orange-pecan sweet potatoes, iceberg lettuce and tomato salad with Mason Jar French Dressing, and enjoy an old Southern Indiana favorite, Applesauce Cake, for dessert.
This chicken casserole recipe is from a 1975 magazine called THE WORKBASKET. The Workbasket was a small magazine that was chocked full of recipes, knitting and crocheting instructions. Many a rural housewife waited anxiously for the local mailman to drop her monthly edition into her mailbox.
CHICKEN CASSEROLE
2 cups diced cooked chicken
2 cups diced celery
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp chopped onion
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp monosodium glutamate, optional
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 cup crushed potato chips
In greased 2-qt casserole, combine ingredients, topping mixture with cheese and chips. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes or until bubbly.
A recipe from the ARGO Cornstarch folks.
3 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Argo Corn Starch
1 cup orange juice
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Spray a 3 quart (13 x 9-in) baking dish with cooking spray. Add sweet potatoes and pecans to dish. Combine brown sugar and corn starch in a small saucepan. Gradually add orange juice, whisking to blend. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla. Pour over sweet potatoes. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until edges are browned and bubbly.
ICEBERG LETTUCE AND TOMATO SALAD WITH MASON JAR FRENCH DRESSING
1 head lettuce, broken into bite-size pieces
2 tomatoes, quartered
1 can tomato soup
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1 small finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp celery seed
Beat all ingredients together and store in a covered jar in the refrigerator. Makes 3/4 quart.
This is another good old family recipe from Southern Indiana.
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening or oleo
1 egg
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup nuts, optional
In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together except raisins and nuts. Blend with electric mixer until well blended. Add raisins and nuts. Pour into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan and bake in a 375 degree oven approximately 45 minutes or until done.
Enjoy!
