Wilted leaf lettuce was always a favorite when I was growing up. Raised on a farm in Kentucky we grew leaf lettuce in the garden. Mom never used measurements on this is only by taste. Apple cider vinegar, sugar, bacon grease for the base heated and poured over lettuce. Crumbled bacon, chopped hard boiled eggs, chopped green onions mixed in. You can make a meal of this. Jean's directions in these reviews have the most accurate measurements. Love this website, Missy. Thanks so much, Sandra

  OMG, We, as a family of 7 ate this a lot; everyone love it just the way you described it. No need for measuring. It was up to me and my sister to look and cut wild dandelion when we didn't have lettuce. So good...this was in the 1948-1955 era.

  Unfortunately it's not a book, but a post. Maybe one day I can put it together as an ebook.

Your Homemade Bread is misleading. It's English Muffin Bread. There is a huge difference!

  I do believe that English Muffin Bread qualifies as, "homemade bread". I'm sorry that you think it's misleading.

    Yes, you are right. Not only the wilted lettuce with, hot bacon dressing, dandelion and English muffin bread or loaf.

  Yes indeed! So good! My mother and grandmother made butter rolls - wish I’d paid closer attention to their little bit of this and that.

This recipe is awesome! My boys ate the whole thing! They said it was better than take out! They are already asking for it again for dinner! They did not know it until I told them!

My grandmother fed a family of 9 and my mother fed 7. The food was always wonderful and I have great memories. I am probably wrong but I do not remember seeing a recipe book although they certainly existed. The other thing I remember is the limited use of measuring tools. The gardens were abundant, my grandfather was a master gardener, and provided year round organic vegetables! to our tables. I enjoy an intuitive approach to cooking only using recipes for inspiration. Thank you for stirring those memories.

My grandmother had her own noodle recipe to go into chicken and noodles. My mother gave it to me and I have passed it down to my daughter that makes it frequently. They sure do beat store bought ones. Naturally using a home raised hen made a big difference in the outcome.

My grandma was raising 4kids all by herself, she raised 2 huge gardens,,a huge strawberry patch, picked blackberries from a nearby pasture to can and , use as well as sell extras!!!, She canned, or froze everything she could get her hands on.. While she was the expert on canning, preserving and stretching every dollar, my dad was a awesome hunter, fisher, we had rabbit, squirrel, turtle soup, pond raised catfish that seemed to melt in your mouth, one of the dishes she made was macaroni and tomato, it was simple but filling,all it takes is ,macaroni, can of crushed tomatoes(big), some butter, ive added a couple of extras, i put a can of tomato sauce as well, and just a little sugar,so it isnt to dry, especially if u keep leftovers, and want to reheat!! Thanks for the tips!!

Would anyone on here happen to know the approximate amount for “the cream off the top of a milkcan?” My grandmother’s recipe for chess pie actually has this as part of her recipe. Chess pie is my dad’s favorite and I would love to make one for him using her recipe. Thanks in advance.

  It's heavy whipping cream. It's a saying from fresh milked cows.
