Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? 2

More fun facts from the early 1900s. I love trivia and tidbits of history. I hope you enjoy these, too.

Ever wonder where the brand Le Sueur peas,etc came from? In the early 1900s the Minnesota Valley Canning Company began packing corn and peas in cans.

America's 1st pizzeria opened in New York City. I wonder how many pizzeria's are in NYC today. When I worked in NYC in the 1980s it seemed there was a pizzeria on almost every block.

Housewives and cooks were excited with new kitchen items that came on the market: Drip coffeemakers and Electric toasters.

Chocolate lovers rejoice. The first recipe for Devil's Food Cake was printed.
