Last week we did a 1950s style menu. It was delicious and there was a lot of cooking involved. I actually enjoyed it and the guys LOVED the food. This week, however, I’m beginning my spring cleaning so something a little less labor intensive is in order. I’ve been asked for some slow cooker recipes…
Stuffed Bell Peppers
We’ve been eating a typical 1950s menu this week which has been a lot of fun. And a lot of cooking! One thing my mom recalls her mother cooking back in the 50s was stuffed bell peppers. I don’t have her exact recipe so I improvised. These are definitely going to be part of our…

My grocery haul posts are usually following one of the monthly shopping trips my daughter and I do together. Our last grocery haul was February 7th and we won’t be doing our March trip until the 28th. I do still have a lot of staples and frozen items on hand and could make do with…

Menu Monday ~ 1950s Style

Create a Homemaker’s Puttering Basket
Putter: to move around without hurrying and in a relaxed and pleasant way. I don’t hear people talk about “puttering” much anymore so I looked up the definition to make sure the meaning hadn’t changed. You know how it is. You grow up calling a certain type of summer footwear “thongs” only to have that…
How Women in the 1950s Stayed Fit and Trim
Take a look at old photos from the 1950s and what do you notice about the women? With few exceptions they are thin. Their waists are tiny! What’s up with that? How did they stay fit and trim? What has changed in the past half century? I decided to do a little research. This post…

Lagniappe ~ Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Lagniappe: “a small gift given a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase” (such as a 13th doughnut on purchase of a dozen), or more broadly, “something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure.” I’m starting a new blog feature. Sometimes there’s a little something I want to…
