The one constant I have had during this turmoil is the daily influx of cookbooks! With daily influx of cookbooks comes daily ideas of blogs.
This is going to be a two parter. The first part will deal with All Time Favorite Vegetable Recipes. Obviously it's a short book since it was published during the era of canned and jello.
The second part is one I have been waiting for a while. I received a book from Better Homes and Gardens about Salads. It does not disappoint and makes me wonder just how many dang cookbooks BHG had out in the 1960s. I have not found a confirmed number.
So without further adieu, it's time to take everyone back to a time where vegetables were an afterthought.

This tuna puff bowl will fascinate guests and family alike. When faced with this horror head on, guests become family and family becomes guests. |

This turkey mushroom salad is sophisticated because it has mushrooms. (Their words, not mine)The utensils are the real headscratcher. Are they wood or metal? Where does one end and the other begin? |

Thousand Island Dressing. I need to be left alone with my thoughts. It's just mayo and chili sauce with some pimentos and chopped green peppers. WHY? |

Salmon Avocado mold. Full of afternoon delight! Three forks? Good luck even using one. |

All the mint jelly, unflavored gelatin, whipping cream and crushed pineapple won't get me past the trauma most loaf salads have created. This doesn't sound right anyway. |

This jewel, or Ham Salad Supreme, is made of sour cream, horseradish, lemon gelatin, mustard, ham, and celery. Those meat roses aren't attracting me to the white brain on top of this. |
Here's to a safe surgery for my husband and hopefully I squeeze another one or two postings in.
Until next time!!!
