Those cookbooks were offered at grocery stores as a premium when you bought $20 dollars' worth of groceries for less than a dollar. Each week a different edition of the set was offered. If you missed a week, you could purchase it for full price. I could feed my husband and me for $20 a week back then. I had a set but gave them away when I was downsizing. I did keep my McCall's set that came in a plastic holder. I still use them. I bought them as grocery store premiums. In one of your St. Patrick Day's videos you pointed out a plum dessert in the McCall's set. I am going to make that because I have some plums in my freezer that I need to use and wanted a recipe for them. Thanks. I enjoy watching you.

My mom is a traditionalist so until shes not in charge of the meal it will always be ham and au gratin potatoes which is fine with me. As she's gotten older my sister and I do most of the cooking. This year I have the ham and potatoes. My sister is making a side and a dessert. Mom is making a salad. Its great being all adults because everyone can help with the meal. It makes holidays so much easier.

@staceyn2541 4 ай бұрын

We always went to my Granny's for every holiday meal. Always ate at 12. I found out later, Granny never cared about the time, it was my aunt who insisted. I never did find out if Granny loved to cook for us, or if she just preferred staying home. She was a great country cook and was almost living self sustaining. She raised chickens so we had an amazing roast chicken for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So much tastier than turkey or store bought chickens. Easter was always a ham. Now that she's gone, our family is more fractured and we don't have the same holiday routines. But if we go to my aunt's, we always eat at 12. We have ham, corn casserole, hash brown casserole, broccoli casserole, deviled eggs, rolls, and some salads. I like to bring my other grandma's 7 layer salad. It has a layer of peas. My aunt used to bring overnight salad, the kind with broccoli and cauliflower to Easter at Granny's, but since she hosts now, she doesn't make the effort. She's the same aunt who made the taco salad with Doritos and Western dressing. She's a big church goer so she gets all the best recipes going around. This year, my mom is recovering from a stroke, so we will likely stay home. I am considering buying a pre made Easter meal from Cracker Barrel. I got my Thanksgiving dinner from there, since I was home alone, and it was very satisfying. I don't know how to cook Easter dinner for 3! We'll have leftovers for months. We shall see.

As a kid, we would go to this giant Polish banquet hall/restaurant for lunch every year on Easter, then back to my grandma's (who lived downstairs from me) for her home made cakes and cookies. Now, we're a hamily (lol) and do the basic, ham, cheesy potatoes, green veggie and 34967 kinds of Jello. My in-laws really like their Jello!

@janetnelson4729 4 ай бұрын

LOL...Your Jello comment rang a bell with me. There was some wonderful Jello salads and desserts then. If you pay attention to very young Ytubers you would think all Jello dishes are yucky. Those that lived through the depression and war considered Jello a real treat. Every holiday meal there was a prized Jello recipe on the table. My mother brought Jello recipes home from coworkers all the time. I grew up in the 1950's.

Were your ears burning this weekend? I went home to Cleveland to see family. I told them all about you and your channel. Told ladies in line at Marcs about your love of retro cook books. We went to Walnut Creek Saturday to see more family and my cousin is watching you. Fun to reminisce about cooking in the 50’s and 60’s with my 95 year old mom. Ham, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, noodles, lime and pistachio and pineapple and Cool Whip something, rolls and German Chocolate cake at about 1. Happy Easter!

@noneofyourbusiness7094 3 ай бұрын

The lime, pistachio, pineapple, and whipped cream combination sounds like the Watergate Salad from the 70s. It's a dessert that was popular at family gatherings and potlucks but not seen as often anymore. My local Hy-Vee has it available pre-made every so often.

It was a bit thinner (about 2 inches) and I put shredded cheese in the middle, folded it, and then poured cheese sauce over. We loved it. Haven't thought of that for many years.

I've heard of holiday brunches all my life, but I've never attended one or prepared one. All our holidays were too busy with church or travel or Santa Claus to make any time for food before our big dinner at 2 pm-and that's dinner, not lunch, because we're from the South. I've been cooking most or all of the food for our big meals since I was 16, which makes 40 years of holiday meals-and we had a get-together of some sort for all the major holidays. My happy memories of those days are endless, and I say to anyone who will listen, cooking and sharing good food and fellowship with the people you love is the greatest joy in life.

1. I will give Thrive Market a try. Looks interesting. 2. Easter- Well, everyone is an adult, and there are presently no kids, so that ups the ante a little in the egg hunt. I used to put really corny but clean jokes in some of the plastic eggs, also loose change I collected all year, plus of course dyed and decorated hard-boiled eggs, and jelly beans, etc. You know what? A couple years ago, when the kids turned 21, I got those little airline bottles of different types of booze. The jokes got a little more risqué, to elicit at least a "Mother!" as a scold. Hard-boiled eggs go well with better chocolate (I'm looking at you, Riverside Chocolate of McHenry, Illinois), and an assortment of breakfast meats. And yes, adults will humor their mother, or their mother-in-law, and go hunt the bottles of booze, if for no other reason than to have something to mix in their coffee and orange juice. 3. Food for the rest of the day: If it’s not the usual midwestern Easter snow, I grill steaks, baked potatoes, corn, veg. We must have carrot cake for dessert.

@brendashope1558 if you like the mini-bottle idea, also consider a weird carrot contest. Why? Because Bugs Bunny aka Easter Bunny aka the cartoon about the Carrot Monster. Participants go to the store and get the weirdest bulk carrot they can find. Voting happens, but you can use applause as well. Winner gets a small box of chocolates. Meijer has individual bulk carrots, among other stores. I like my Meijer because the produce is good and reasonable, and it is close to my house.

I make vegan cinnamon rolls for Easter. My mom always made cinnamon rolls, then dyed some coconut green and made a nest on top of each one. She would put 2-3 jelly beans in each nest and a small candy bunny standing over it. She always made a ham. A good vegetarian breakfast (not vegan) is a toasted English muffin with some cooked spinach on top, topped with a poached egg, with Hollandaise over it.

Once the ham is ready we put it in my daughters oven next door and put the bacon on a rack in the oven to broil. And ready at the end is the strawberry shortcake! We feed 4 children (adult) and 5 grandchildren with boy and girlfriends. (And this year our first great grandchild!) Happy Easter!🐣🐇🐰

So someday in the future we will switch to brunch that includes ham but isn't primarily ham. So that everyone can enjoy the meal. Until that time comes, my husband eats a small amount of ham to please his mother and I pack a sun butter and jelly sandwich for my son who also doesn't eat potatoes so he doesn't starve.

Easter is definitely an excuse to have a big big brunch in my family. I'm from Quebec and here our Easter brunch usually revolves around maple syrup and sugar shack fare.

And of course, we'll have chocolate for dessert! :D

I, at the age of 39, am just now finding out that there is supposed to be a specific menu for Easter. And that's not to say that my family did not celebrate Easter in the past. It's just that we were usually so busy on Easter Sunday (our church did sunrise service, and I was usually directing the Easter passion play) and the majority of my extended family lived out of town, that we just kind of made deviled eggs out of the spoils of the Easter Egg Hunt and called that lunch. I think I remember a few times having fried chicken from the grocery store deli (if we had enough money) or one grandmother or the other doing a cookout if it wasn't raining. And then after I moved away from my hometown I stopped celebrating Easter altogether. So, this is a whole new world to me, and I kind of want to try these recipes.

I found a box on my porch this morning -- all it had in it was boxes of crackers -- but YIPPEE!! My day was made!! 🤗 It was my back-ordered Irish Brown Bread Crackers made in Cork, Ireland. A week late for St. Patrick's Day, but that's the price I guess you pay for finding them for 44% off. They're just so, so-o-o tasty, and usually so, so-o-o beyond my budget.

I had the complete 3 piece set of your green Pyrex bowl. I'd been given the set in 1993, I believe. They had been through a lot. And during a purge of kitchen items, I decided to add them to the donate pile.😊

The plaid BHG cookbook is my go to for everything. My family does Easter meal at lunch. We do ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, 7 layer salad, deviled eggs plus other things depending who all is attending. All of our holidays are pot luck style. My mom makes the BEST deviled eggs!

Hi Anna! Thank you for brightening up this Monday morning with these fabulous recipes. I never doubted for a minute that you were not cooking your roux correctly. Your sauces and gravies always look perfect to me. 👍 Also, I was cheering you on with the soufflé. I have never tried making one, but you made this look easy! I am so glad you were happy with it. I sure was! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤🙏😁

When I was a kid, my mom would always add a touch of mustard in her cheese sauce as well as black pepper. It adds a depth that is incredible. I can imagine that the souffle is delicious, wonder if my mom's cheese sauce would go with this. 😊

I do that with my mac and cheese. The mustard really adds something.

You made me laugh again! It worked!!!!😂 Btw, you're wearing another cute sweater. My family is Italian so we will have lasagna, a pot roast, stuffed artichokes and I make eggs baked in a cookie crust which was a recipe my mom cut out of the newspaper which was written by Mario Cuomo's wife Matilda.

We're a hamily! 😄 My parents didn't like lamb so we NEVER had that. We always had ham. And that was the only big meal we had that day. I'm sure I just had cereal for breakfast and then lots of junk food like chips and Easter candy from my Easter basket. Then we ate dinner at 6pm. I'll be baking a ham and we'll have deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, biscuits and tossed salad. Only we'll be eating at about noon like your grandparents. Then we can go find a movie to watch or binge a tv show while we munch on chocolate, jelly beans and Peeps. 😄

I love the whole idea of brunch, what a cool book. We usually do Christmas Brunch. On easter must haves are ham, deviled eggs and mac salad.

@lynnrobnett7199 4 ай бұрын

We usually eat some of the dyed eggs and some toast and maybe a little candy lol for breakfast. Then Easter dinner is usually a little earlier in the day, it’s very similar to thanksgiving but ham instead of turkey and add deviled eggs. We also have pineapple upside down cake or bunny cake instead of pie.

My family usually does a spiral sliced ham, a hash brown casserole, and scalloped corn with some fresh green beans. We like to stick to our traditions but my 15 year old son loves a fruity jello mold on special dinners like that.

Ham and pineapple stuffed (deviled) eggs mashed potatoes and corn, ambrosia. Munch on eggs all day and evening buns with marshmellow inside and pie

We have kielbasa and often an egg casserole with our mimosas for Easter breakfast. Dinner is ham, deviled eggs, potatoes, Brussels with bacon and a relish tray. I make a lamb cake every year and I am ordering a pie from a local baker. I hope you have a happy Easter! 🐰

Sunday breakfasts in our family growing up was usually so good, but we didn't do any particular Easter breakfast and I haven't as a mom, but following my mom's tradition, Sunday breakfasts were late morning and a table full of favorites! As our kids got older, we usually went to family potluck for Easter dinner. 😊

I think with the forks, they face each other and you pull them apart in opposite directions gently, like you cut angel food cake.

I think the muffin tin cups were smaller back in the day. I know my gran's muffin tray from the 1970's has smaller muffin cups than mine from 2012. Brava on the cheese soufflé! Thanks to you, I may attempt that one day. 🫣😂

I like cooking with Bisquick I have both recipe books by Betty Crocker for it as well. Sometimes it is a faster solution than measuring everything out. Easter --- what to eat nothing spectacular just a roast with potatoes and vegies with some homemade rolls. We are a bit simple but it fills the hole and looks nice on the table. lol Have a great day

@erinuber2881 4 ай бұрын

Hi Anna! Really fun Easter dishes! When I was little, we always had ham for Easter. I must be in the minority, but I never cared very much for ham, so I secretly wished there were different food traditions for Easter Day...or even that we could have turkey, as we do at Thanksgiving! Now that I'm an adult, if I were hosting a large crowd, I'd do something totally different - maybe some sort of an overnight egg casserole at brunch with a big salad, fruit, and maybe something fun for dessert or snacks later (maybe a make-it-yourself sundae bar with lots of different toppings?). I wish you a joyous Easter!

We usually have ham for Easter, but I don't think we'll get together this year because we had a belated birthday party last Sunday. Maybe a week or two later. But hams are on sale right now, so I'll probably get one and save leftovers for soup.
