Ultramatic · Oct 13, 2011

I've noticed that recipes are scattered about all over the forum and thought it would be nice if there was a main thread where we can all post recipes, both vintage and new, requests for recipes, tips and so on. I've seen some really delicious recipes out there and want to thank everyone for posting them.

Mmmmmmm

That apple cider upside down cake looks delicious!

I've got a rhubarb upside down cake recipe I'll try to locate and post here.

All Good

Have had lots of the Apple Cider unside down cake. My wife got it off a box of Kroger spie cake mix years ago. Always a winner to take to work ans share or potluck dinners.

When my wife Cathy, president of the Rialto Woman's Club chapter, pondered the price of frozen ready-made meatballs for a fund-raiser spaghetti dinner, I blurted out that I could make 'em.

She asked for 150.

As I perused the ingredients available at the local Smart & Final, I put together this recipe. Seems all it takes to complete the "hot Italian sausage" flavor profile is crushed red peppers and fennel seed. If you find the gentle back-of-the-throat tingle too much for your taste buds, adjust or omit the crushed red peppers and/or Creole seasoning.

2 lbs. ground beef
1 lb. ground turkey
1 envelope onion soup mix
6 oz. seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tbsp. whole Fennel seeds
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. Creole seasoning
3 eggs
½ cup water

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray an 11x17 inch rimmed cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Knead ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until blended. Shape into 25 meatballs and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 30 minutes; let rest 15 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Serve as desired or keep warm in your favorite marinara sauce.

For long-term storage: Do not bake. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 2 hours. Transfer frozen meatballs to heavy-duty freezer bags or vacuum-sealed bags and return to freezer. Use within 4 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.

the font at the top of post 3 doesn't look like it's

Looks more like a '30's or '40's font.

Did the book go through a series of reissues?

Anyhow, thanks for posting all the cool vintage recepies. always fun to learn how people cooked and ate.

Good recipes and recipe thread...........

Thanks for the recipes! Further down the list on this part of the site is a thread for 2011 Holiday Recipes that was started earlier in the month for the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.

Ultramatic · Oct 15, 2011

Oh wow, I missed that Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year&#

Anyway, thanks and I thank YOU ALL for posting all those great recipes on here and on the other threads!

Ultramatic · Oct 15, 2011

As for the fonts of some of the recipes...

Yes, some are reprints from original cook books. For example in post #3 all the way at the bottom, you'll see the acknowledgment to the original cook book and author. I try to put the year of when the recipe was published, but it doesn't necessarily mean it was published for the first time that year. Hope that clears up the mystery of the fonts. LOL.

Don't feel badly, Louie- I missed this one that you started when I just posted about breakfast meat!
