Just a quick reminder- don't broil in a Pyrex/glass dishes. My worst cooking mishap was a VERY expensive lasagna, EVERYTHING made from scratch. The mozzarella wasn't quite as golden as I wanted, so I turned the broiler on for a minute...and then I heard a loud noise. My lasagna exploded. Shards of glass and lasagna everywhere. I cried. And cried. Disaster dinner party. Thanks for being my pretend friend, Anna! ❤

We call party food ‘nibbly things’ a phrase I borrowed long ago from an old BBC comedy series called Absolutely Fabulous, or AbFab. We make nibbly things for dinner sometimes. A very simple favorite is Ritz or Townhouse crackers , cream cheese and a drizzle of pineapple habañero salsa (from Costco). Try it, you’ll be hooked!❤

I have a great recipe, I ate these at a party in the 80’s. I don’t know where the recipe came from, maybe you you’ll be saying that this is common and everyone knows this, but it was new to me and I’ve never seen it since! Take slices of Italian bread, normal size. Mix: a dollop of mayonnaise and shredded mozerella cheese. Don’t know amounts. You want it the consistency of say how you would mix tuna and mayo. It will be paste-y. Toast bread lightly. Then spread bread generously with the cheese/mayo mixture. Sprinkle half the slices with paprika, sprinkle some with garlic powder (or maybe garlic powder, can’t remember). Or both seasonings on the bread. Then put the bread slices under the broiler till hot and bubbly but not necessarily browned. Just oozy cheesy goodness. DELICIOUS! Basically mayo and shredded mozerella is great combo! (Cheese toasties?)

I have the McCall cooking school course in 2 large binders. It was one of those deals where every 2 weeks or so they mailed you a recipe card. On the front was a pic of the finished dish and the entire recipe somehow magically fit on the back of the card. 8 and a half by 11. I have both binders full. From the 80’s. French techniques were demonstrated in the recipes. Every recipe that I made was good, and to this day still good. Doesn’t feel dated. I love and cherish that set. Especially the cake and bread section.

❤❤❤ party food! Now I have to run over to Meijer and get some corn chips! I have everything but corn chips. I would use Pastorelli's in the pizza rollups with scamorza cheese. The olives definitely stay. The garlic butter for brushing is a great idea. The kabobs are perfect. Those are indeed Ritz crackers with whipped cream cheese and a grape half. One of my easiest hors d'ovres is to get some salami slices and whipped cream cheese. I make "stacks" by puting down a salami slice spread with the cream cheese, add another slice of salami, repeat the process 2 more times, with salami on top, chill for a couple of hours, then slice the stacks into 4 sections and stick a toothpick the middle of each section. If it’s a party and not just a yen for salami snacks, I make 8, 10 or even 12 stacks to split up. Really easy, adaptable. Thanks for another great video!🎉

I live here in Texas and I’m a native. Most barbecues are not complete without a big bowl of queso dip. It usually consist of hamburger meat made with taco seasoning and Velveeta and a can or two of rotelle spicy as you like. I like mine with the scoops personally. Some people instead of hamburger meat use ground Mexican chorizo and that doesn’t need the extra seasonings from the taco packets. It’s all delicious pretty much anyway you use it. I have, however, known people to go overboard on the heat from the canned rotelle. Besides him, I might also think of using chunks of turkey with the peach and maybe with the pineapple and ham and just a tiniest bit of Dijon mustard in the sauce. I think it would be absolutely delicious. I might consider using flour tortillas instead of bread because usually I smash my bread so flat that it sticks to everything so I might go that route instead but everything else I absolutely like what you said about it. I’m excited to try some of these maybe for Dinner for my husband and I in the near future. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Anna! I've really been enjoying your videos. I, too, love me some retro midcentury recipes, which is what I grew up eating, especially at potlucks and such, when ladies would present their wackiest Jell-O and other creations. (Braunschweiger balls!) I'd love to see you delve into a book that is my absolute favorite, the 1949 edition of the Good Housekeeping Cook Book, ed. Dorothy B. Marsh. IMO, it's perhaps the last general-audience, "complete" cookbooks that does NOT rely heavily on processed-food shortcuts. It is also very exhaustive, and gives a great view of what was considered normal, including menus, holiday foods, place settings, etc. The recipes usually begin with whole foods (but also some canned or "glassed," preserved plain foods) and are not gimmicky. They make some substitutions, at times, where ethnic or specialty foods were certainly not readily available. But I've found some astonishingly legit recipes in there for things like springerle cookies (uses anise *seeds*) and pizza (which suggests *olive* oil). I've heard its recipe for apple pie is one of the best ever published. By the 60s, the newer editions of the book would have cutesy names and be full of processed and prepackaged "shortcut" foods. They really turned a corner after its publication, and it's one of my favorite all-time cookbooks, for its straight-ahead recipes: opulentopossum.blogspot.com/2009/05/treasury-of-retro-recipes.html Here's one of my blog posts about its recipe for pizza, which was new enough to Americans at that time that it needed clarification: "pronounced peet-za . . . It’s like a huge pancake, topped with a tomato-cheese mixture, and baked until crust is crisp and golden brown. Hot out of oven, it’s cut into wedges. You fold a wedge; eat it with your fingers. Use as appetizer, bread with dinner, main course for lunch, or evening snack." opulentopossum.blogspot.com/2011/02/peet-za-united-states-1949.html . . . Cheers!

I love the pizza roll ups! So easy. I’ve been looking for different ideas for my husband’s lunch for work. I could make those and he can reheat them in the microwave at work.

In the sixties, we used to make toasted bread roll ups with seasoned cream cheese and canned asparagus spears, very fancy! Yours looked amazing too! I think a maraschino cherry would be nice on the kabob :)

RE: Jellyrolls, to me, the oregano makes a pizza roll, and the chili powder would almost make a southwest bean dip flavor.

I'm guessing that homemade pizza was not a thing back in the 50's, and I doubt if mozzarella, pepperoni or pizza sauce were readily available either, so it makes sense that the pizza-roll recipe called for cheddar, olives and regular tomato sauce. But like you said, you could certainly modernize it with your own ingredients to give a more authentic pizza flavor. I make quick, personal pizzas in my toaster oven all the time, using bread and pasta sauce, pepperoni or ham and shredded mozzarella (or other cheese) I keep on hand. Yum!

Yes, I'd love to go eat the nibblers but I remember my mom wearing a girdle everywhere.....that's a no go! I love this channel!

I am in my 70’s, and when we hit 12 years old, we were required to wear a girdle under our dresses and skirts. My mother’s maxim was “A lady doesn’t jiggle!” My, how times have changed, lol.😊

Enjoying your channel. I’m a boomer and a lot of these recipes I remember. You have a very nice personality and I like how you keep an open mind about these recipes as they have mostly gone by the wayside, and our palates have evolved ( I personally think we are jaded with over the top choices these days).You referenced Hummingbird cake in one of your videos. I had that recently and thought it was great. I don’t know if you actually made it in one of your videos but you did reference it from a Southern Living cookbook,

I laugh every time you talk about loving olives! The fact that people want to pick on you about not liking celery but you like olives! How many celery lovers hate olives? Whose the brave one now?! Thank you for your dedication to this channel.

Anna not sure mushroom would work in pizza roll ups, when they cook they will realease moisture - might get soggy? I love the sit down part of your videos where you show details of the cookbooks. Love your collection! And love that you show us so much of the inside of them!

I want to try the Fritos dip. Thanks for showing your flexi zester a few weeks back. I got one and used it for zest of two whole lemons yesterday. What a great tool, how it flexes around the fruit and no white pith only zest. Have a great week!

I’ll still in a pinch flatten a slice of bread, any kind, and add some pizza sauce and toppings to make a faux pizza snack. People might want to poke fun at some of these but the ham and peaches is not far off from melon and prosciutto, the elevated version of this
