My mom's recipes.
Hi, I collect vintage recipes from the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's.  Naturally you will find a few recipes from the earlier days, as well as some later recipes from the 1970's.  I pretty much draw the line at the 70's. 

The collection of recipes and old photos are a "nod" to the older generation.  Our mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts and uncles and anyone else who influenced are lives.  I don't think history does justice to the infamous folks who really made the difference. This small collection of recipes won't change history, but maybe a few will realize just how important a tradition of "food preparation" is to the heart of a family.

When I was growing up, you ate three meals a day at a table with the other members of your family.  The fact was, if you were a girl, you helped your mother prepare the meals and sat the table.  That means the table had real dishes, silverware and glasses - not paper plates and plastic cups.  Now the boys in our family could help, but the girls had to be there. Meals were truly a family affair.  By the way, paper plates and plastic cups were for picnics, out doors and looked forward to with great glee.

I recently ran across my first vintage recipe made with 7-UP.  I had forgotton, as a child,  all the buss surrounding recipes made with Coke, Pespie, Dr. Pepper or 7-UP.  I have decided to create a page decated to recipes and food stuffs made with these soda drinks.

I find my recipes in old tin boxes purchases at yard sales, flea markets, auctions and from eBay.  I also take recipes from mom's recipe box, my uncles and grandmothers.  I don't scan the internet, I take what I find, as I find it and post the recipes here.

And with that said, here is the first recipe I have found.

Frozen Fruit Loaf
One 3 - ounce package cream cheese
One 9 - ounce can of crushed pineapple
One 7 - ounce bottle 7-UP
2 Cups diced fresh peaches
One cup diced seedless grapes
1.2 cup sugar
1.2 pint whipping cream
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

Soften cream cheese and mix in pineapple.  Stir in 7-UP.  Sprinkle sugar over peaches and grapes and stir into mixture.  Pour into a 2-quart refrigerator dish and freeze until partially thickened.  Whip cream until stiff; fold cream and marshmallows into fruit mixture.  Freeze until solid.  Makes 8 to 10 servings.
