Does anyone remeber these rolls and have a recipe on how to make them? I cant seem to fidn anything that would show me how andI miss them so much!

It looks like I saved this recipe back in July 2025 and just made it last night. I served it warm with vanilla ice cream and it was a hit with my dinner guests! I searched both old recipe groups on here, and can't find who posted it - but thank you! It was really good.

I used up a Tony's Chocolonely and a Hershey bar so the chocolate really melted into it. Next time I'll use regular semi-sweet chips and may add pecans or walnuts to it. Can't wait to make it again!

In the 1970s - 1990s my mom made a Chicken and Dressing Casserole. It was served at holiday meals and at Sunday dinner.

It was moist and flavorful. Not dense at all. I’ve tried to recreate this dish, but have failed so far.

It looked a lot like the image and the ingredients seem to be similar. I found this image a while back, which did not include any directions, which frankly made me wonder if it was actually a real recipe or just clickbait.

So, I’ve come here to ask for any tried and true family recipes that sound/look similar to what I’ve described or is pictured in the image. Thanks 😊

This cookbook was compiled by the Trinity Mission of Trinity Church in Rutland, Vermont, and the Women’s Service League of Saint Paul’s Church in Burlington, Vermont. It has 404 pages, including the covers.

Do you love old cookbooks and old recipes? Of course you do, or you wouldn’t be reading this. But do you also love reading cursive? Looking at very interesting illustrations? Reading old local advertising? And learning a little bit of history? Well, if the answer to any of those questions is yes, this is the cookbook you must look at. Every page is unique and interesting. I had a very hard time picking out which ones to show here. The full book, of course, is on the archive. If what I posted whets your appetite, please check out the entire book. I could only post twenty pictures here. So if it is intriguing to you, there are 380 more pages waiting.

Here is a link to the full book;

When I moved in to my current apartment, there was to my great surprise a recipe notebook in one of my cupboards. The book belonged to the first owner of my apartment, Ida Pettersson, who moved in here when it was newly built in 1927. She moved out almost 50 years later, and a few other people have lived here since, but everyone let the book stay at the apartment and some even added recipes to it.

Today, I tried Idas recipe for mandelkubb (which I think translates into Swedish bitter almond biscuits). They got a bit dry, but the consistency is so incredibly fluffy that it feels like biting into a cloud.

Most of her earlier recipes only lists ingredients, with no instructions whatsoever. My grandma used to make these biscuits so I had an idea of what to do (like hold my breath when opening the oven because hartshorn salt is BRUTAL to inhale).

The only thing I did different from Ida was to add pearl suger. I mixed it with chopped almonds (not the bitter ones) and rolled the kubb in them after first brushing them with cream.

Will do again, but maybe add a little bit more butter.

It seems the bulk of my late mother’s recipe booklets were for either rice or pork. We raised pigs so I can see the pork recipes. We didn’t grow rice but I guess it was the cheapest way to feed a family of 9.

I haven’t tried any of these recipes but plan to.

Someone looked at a bowl of canned cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple, pineapple, marshmallows, and Cool Whip — and named it Junk Yard Salad. Not Fruit Fluff. Not Party Salad. Junk Yard.

And as always all the recipes are in this Google drive along with all the cookbooks I've scanned in so far!

I think it says mixed grill I'm very dyslexic and had my gf tell me what she thought😅

Anyway as always here's the list of every recipe and cookbook from the recipe Preservation Project:
