Welcome to another Tastey Tuesday. Today I want to share a true vintage keepsake that was among my Mother's old cookbooks and collectibles. As I was sharing with you last week. Mom was a fabulous cook, baker and all around gourmet. And, since I will never come close to her huge kitchen talents, I do have tons of recipes, clippings and cookbooks to try. This old vintage recipe box is a treasure. Filled with hand written recipe cards, paper clippings and old newsprint. Some in mint condition and others with spills and stains from many years of happy use.~~It is a special collection. What makes this so special, besides going through the great old recipes in the hundreds, is the paper and magazine clippings and even the comical ads dated from the early 1950's.
Enjoy a peek. Many can be read right from the pics and the ads speak for themselves.
It was hard to decide what to use for this post since the box is just packed with old ads. I even took a few pics of the backs of recipes, like the Coty ad and the Zane Grey ad. Not many in color back then, so these are special.
Thank you for sharing in this wonderul vintage recipe box. As time goes on, I will share more of the recipes inside, but till then, I will end this Tastey Tuesday with a special treat from my mom. Here is her recipe card, hand written by her and shared with you. Please feel free to copy and enjoy without publishing this as your own! A little cookbook may be on the horizon, "From Mom's Kitchen with Love"
See you Wednesday, sharing some fun from the Paint Palette!
