Linda I could save bunches of calories by just dipping the strawberries into a can of Eagle Brand Milk and licking it off. |

| Connie I just try your buttered biscuit and tomato. That looks yummy. I wanted to have a cheese and tomato sandwich for lunch but no tomatoes were in my house...so I had a grilled cheese. Have you ever cooked your grilled cheese sandwich in melted butter and coconut oil? Since I was making two of them, I melted about 1T of each then poured it on a custard cup...leaving enough for the first side of hubby sandwich. After it browned, I added more yummies to the hot skillet and cooked the other side. Then I made my own. Guess what...the coconut oil makes the bread crispy and crunchy. I love it. But I also love butter! Try it! |

| I like to make grilled cheese with a tomato in it. Very good. We finally had blts last night. They had huge beefsteak type tomatoes at the Amish not. I only got one, made 4 sandwiches with half the tomato still left. That will be lunch today. I put Turkey bacon on mine though because I'm probably the only person who doesn't like bacon. Lol |

Have no fear...Hadlee has eaten enough for the both of you, in her lifetime! |

I do like both bacons, turkey and pork as long as they are crunchy.
I do love my tomatoes too.

| Once on a road trip my mom forgot the meat for sandwiches. She put peanut butter on the bread with sliced tomatoes. What a great combo. The peanut butter is sticky but the tomatoes provide juice. But hot biscuits go with anything! |

Oh Connie those sandwiches look so good.
Made some chicken salad the other day. Like to eat it with chips and dip it with them. Trying not to eat so much bread. It was good. And cold ice tea.
I love reading all the different food on here.

Recipe for crock pot apple butter:
Ingredients
4-5 Pounds Apples in Various Varieties
4 Cups Sugar*
Cinnamon to taste (I don't have a specific measure for it)
Crockpot
For Canning:
5 Pint Jars, with lid and ring sets
Instructions
Wash, peel, core apples.
Slice them as thin as possible.
Place apples and sugar into crockpot.
Place crockpot on low and cook for 8-12 hours (I do overnight).
Using a whisk, thoroughly mix apples until they become smooth. Or use a blender if apples were not sliced thinly enough.
For Canning:
Prep your jars and lids.
Process in water bath for 10 minutes.
Let cool for a few hours, label, and put away!
Recipe Notes
*You can reduce the amount of sugar to taste.
Sometimes I do mine without out sugar. |

| Thank you for the recipe Denise. I'll try it in the crockpot when I find some apples. It's been a few year since I made apple butter; I think the last time was when we stopped at a fruit stand on the way home from Oregon. Maybe I'll talk DH into a trip to Apple Hill this year. |

I made some pumpkin spice creamer today. I took a jar to my neighbor, one to Julie and kept one for me. Then with the remainder of the pumpkin I made my hubby his favorite pie. Had and Julie came along and Julie had three slivers, that is what she called them. She did not eat the crust. Bapa ate his first piece.
This surprised me. I had picked the black eyed peas before I fed the chickens. Had sat down asking if they were peas, and could she shell them??? Or course I said yes and handed her a little bowl. I did not realize she had never shelled peas inbefore. So I showed her how to unzip them. I hated to shell peas as a kid. My row is so short that I rarely get more than a couple of handfuls at a time. Imagine my surprise one day last week when I took seven bags from my refrigerator freezer to the big freezer. Doing a few at a time, I haven't minded shelling and snapping them at all. |

Victory Apple Pie
Cookbook prepared by Home Bureau 4th edition 1946 (1st edition 1944)
by LaSalle County Illinois - Home Bureau - Ottawa, Illinois
There's a handwritten note by the woman who bought this cookbook about her trip to Joliet, Ill on Dec 13, 1946 where she bought the book at the Joliet Home Bureau....went on to say the trip was taken to straighten up the estate of....
Her newspaper clippings of recipes are taped to the inside front & back covers and paperclipped to first page. Her cookbook is now my little treasure.
Now for the recipe after a little history of the book.
Victory Apple Pie
apples, 2 1/2 c
salt, 1/4 tsp
lemon juice, 1 T
honey, 1/4 c
quick tapioca, 2 T
cinnamon, 1/2 tsp
Peel and slice very thin the apples, place half of them in a pastry lined pie pan. Add salt, lemon juice, honey, tapioca, and then add the other half of the apples, add remaining honey, tapioca and lemon juice, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Put on the top crust and mark "V" on pie. Bake twenty five min.
-Mrs. Arthur Stason
Like most old recipes you have to read between the lines to understand what to do. They seemed to take it for granted the reader knew what to do. Since I will be cooking my pie in deep dish cast iron pie pan I will follow temp & time from other recipes. I don't have to have a pie crust recipe because deep dish pie crusts are on sale this week. My pie will be so easy.
Did y'all pick up on the woman's name who summitted the recipe - it's her married name and not given name. Oh, how times have changed.

That's a great find for a cookbook, Sara.
I have an old cookbook with recipes from my grandmother's ladies group; it is called Woman's Club Cook Book, Fairbury, Illinois. It was compiled by the Ways and Means Committee and also lists the officers. My grandmother was not an officer than year. LOL! It is small, has 45 pages, and has a wallpaper cover and the binding is stapled. It is printed with a table of contents, so I'm not sure how they published it. It was probably sold as a fundraiser. I will post a picture when my phone is charged.
We have a copy of a cookbook from Ed's church from years ago and I have a copy of a cookbook compiled by the woman's group at the Jewish Synagogue where I was the Rabbi's Administrative Assistant for several years. They both have some very delicious recipes. |

| Sara, thanks for posting this fun apple pie recipe from WWII. My other question, given the times it was made, is how did they make the crust when butter and probably lard was rationed? I know from reading that the rationing in Britain was severe but it was also pretty stringent here as well. Does your book address any of that? I am wondering if lard might be more available? I love the simple ingredients of your apple recipe and it is worth noting that regular sugar was not used as that was rationed as well. Honey sounds like a great alternative and I bet it is delicious in a pie. |

| Most folks in my neck of the woods were farmers. They all raised pigs, slaughtered them on the farm, hung the hams and bacon in the smoke house, salted down what was not ground into sausage and smoked. They rendered the lard, canned it in jars and even made mincemeat with the hogs head. ( I know because I was totally grossed out when my mother put it in our oven to bake!) My grandma and grandpa usually raised three big hogs. She always warned us not to climb on the fence...if we had accidentally fallen in ...oh my! We were fascinated by those huge snorting beasts but we did not want to be their dinner so we stood on the ground to watch them. |
