If you ever decide to sell merchandise, it needs to be an apron that says, "
it's fine, it's fine... it's gonna be fine! "
And it has to be colourful! And when can we buy one???? ❤️👗
Oh with a vintage graphic (your early CZcams videos had a colorful graphic at the beginning of each video)
...and another one that says "Anything to do with egg whites makes me uneasy." LOL
Please consider making aprons with that saying! I would totally buy one!
Totally agree!!
I hit the motherlode thrifting yesterday. Found 9 Better Homes and Gardens vintage cookbooks and an additional 4 from other authors. A woman struck a conversation with me and asked did I know of your youtube channel! Small world! 😊
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, lucky you!
Great score and now our Anna is becoming famous!
Congrats on your finds!! Also...really? WOW!! It really is a small world!
Hi Anna great brunch video! I've been wondering this: my Aunt Olga always said "oleo" instead of saying butter. Is oleo a vintage term or regional term? (Like soda/pop)
Okay, did anyone else also cheer when the soufflé came out clean? Woohoo! 🎉
75y/o here. Breakfast: homemade hot cross buns (just learned how to make them!), fruit bowl and cheese. Supper: ham with pineapple, scalloped potatoes, asparagus, broccoli with cheese sauce and flapper pie (or pudding if it doesn't set. I never know.) Cranberry juice with Canada Dry. My mom made this meal and now I do.
Your videos are fun to watch. You have a fun, sweet video presence.
You have inspired me to get out some of my grandmother’s old cookbooks and recipes! She was born on a farm near Sandy, Oregon, in 1895 and was the second eldest child and eldest daughter of 11 kids. The family had a lot of acreage, so she learned to cook at a young age. The family actually has a road named after them! I loved cooking with her!!
You should! My neighbor was born in Oregon on a farm in 1930 in a big family. Hello from Corvallis Oregon.
I bet your gram had some very interesting stories. Great stuff!
When I was a kid, in the 60s and 70s, we had ham, scalloped potatoes, and baked beans. My mom always made a bunny cake for dessert.
We had the bunny cake, too!
Take the two forks and put them back-to-back. Plunge them into the souffle and push them apart to separate the souffle portion. See Julia Child's "French Chef" souffle videos for the visual on how to do this.
Am also a small family and decided to make a ham last year to be traditional. The huz told me that the very definition of eternity is a ham and two people. You are a delight and I'm so glad I found another vintage cookbook fan!!!
Those cookbooks were offered at grocery stores as a premium when you bought $20 dollars' worth of groceries for less than a dollar. Each week a different edition of the set was offered. If you missed a week, you could purchase it for full price. I could feed my husband and me for $20 a week back then. I had a set but gave them away when I was downsizing. I did keep my McCall's set that came in a plastic holder. I still use them. I bought them as grocery store premiums. In one of your St. Patrick Day's videos you pointed out a plum dessert in the McCall's set. I am going to make that because I have some plums in my freezer that I need to use and wanted a recipe for them. Thanks. I enjoy watching you.
I still have mine 😊 I bought them when I was in college and my food budget was $10 a week. The $.99 they cost was a big bite out of the budget. 😢
I would have put every last bit of that topping on the muffins😂😂😊
We always went to my Granny's for every holiday meal. Always ate at 12. I found out later, Granny never cared about the time, it was my aunt who insisted. I never did find out if Granny loved to cook for us, or if she just preferred staying home. She was a great country cook and was almost living self sustaining. She raised chickens so we had an amazing roast chicken for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So much tastier than turkey or store bought chickens. Easter was always a ham. Now that she's gone, our family is more fractured and we don't have the same holiday routines. But if we go to my aunt's, we always eat at 12. We have ham, corn casserole, hash brown casserole, broccoli casserole, deviled eggs, rolls, and some salads. I like to bring my other grandma's 7 layer salad. It has a layer of peas. My aunt used to bring overnight salad, the kind with broccoli and cauliflower to Easter at Granny's, but since she hosts now, she doesn't make the effort. She's the same aunt who made the taco salad with Doritos and Western dressing. She's a big church goer so she gets all the best recipes going around. This year, my mom is recovering from a stroke, so we will likely stay home. I am considering buying a pre made Easter meal from Cracker Barrel. I got my Thanksgiving dinner from there, since I was home alone, and it was very satisfying. I don't know how to cook Easter dinner for 3! We'll have leftovers for months. We shall see.
I’m sorry to hear about your mom. My mom just had a stroke too. Fortunately she’s okay and I hope yours is too. None the less we aren’t doing a traditional Easter dinner this year either, first time ever. Kinda sad but at least my mom is here. Prayers for you and your family. Blessed Easter!
I am a "omg, yesterday was Easter?" Family
We are of Polish heritage so we have kielbasa brunch with cheeses, deviled eggs, a sweet bread,( babka is traditional but really dry) ambrosia, dill pickles, a peach cobbler and butter cookies. Cranberry punch because no one drinks alcohol, latkes with sourcream, applesauce. Your souffle was smashing!❤
Yum! That all sounds delicious!!
Thank you! ❤ Your menu sounds amazing!
The amount of laughter in my house when you said "Hamily", let me tell you. :D
All thanks to you! 😂
My mom is a traditionalist so until shes not in charge of the meal it will always be ham and au gratin potatoes which is fine with me. As she's gotten older my sister and I do most of the cooking. This year I have the ham and potatoes. My sister is making a side and a dessert. Mom is making a salad. Its great being all adults because everyone can help with the meal. It makes holidays so much easier.
As a kid, we would go to this giant Polish banquet hall/restaurant for lunch every year on Easter, then back to my grandma's (who lived downstairs from me) for her home made cakes and cookies. Now, we're a hamily (lol) and do the basic, ham, cheesy potatoes, green veggie and 34967 kinds of Jello. My in-laws really like their Jello!
LOL...Your Jello comment rang a bell with me. There was some wonderful Jello salads and desserts then. If you pay attention to very young Ytubers you would think all Jello dishes are yucky. Those that lived through the depression and war considered Jello a real treat. Every holiday meal there was a prized Jello recipe on the table. My mother brought Jello recipes home from coworkers all the time. I grew up in the 1950's.
My ex husband came from a polish family in Buffalo, so I made a Polish style Easter feast every year we were married. I enjoyed it a lot.
@@janetnelson4729 I am not a Jello fan at all. The texture makes me gag. More for them!
A cheesy eggy cloud sounds heavenly
Were your ears burning this weekend? I went home to Cleveland to see family. I told them all about you and your channel. Told ladies in line at Marcs about your love of retro cook books. We went to Walnut Creek Saturday to see more family and my cousin is watching you. Fun to reminisce about cooking in the 50’s and 60’s with my 95 year old mom. Ham, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, noodles, lime and pistachio and pineapple and Cool Whip something, rolls and German Chocolate cake at about 1. Happy Easter!
The lime, pistachio, pineapple, and whipped cream combination sounds like the Watergate Salad from the 70s. It's a dessert that was popular at family gatherings and potlucks but not seen as often anymore. My local Hy-Vee has it available pre-made every so often.
I've heard of holiday brunches all my life, but I've never attended one or prepared one. All our holidays were too busy with church or travel or Santa Claus to make any time for food before our big dinner at 2 pm-and that's dinner, not lunch, because we're from the South. I've been cooking most or all of the food for our big meals since I was 16, which makes 40 years of holiday meals-and we had a get-together of some sort for all the major holidays. My happy memories of those days are endless, and I say to anyone who will listen, cooking and sharing good food and fellowship with the people you love is the greatest joy in life.
OMG, I just bought that exact book when I was on a road trip to Texas!
That omelet is pretty much the omelet I made 40 years ago when I was first married and very poor. We just called it a puffy omelet. It wasn't done like a cake. It was a bit thinner (about 2 inches) and I put shredded cheese in the middle, folded it, and then poured cheese sauce over. We loved it. Haven't thought of that for many years.
I'm actually doing an Easter brunch for the first time this year! I've been married almost 33 years and cook a lot, but somehow never landed on any Easter food traditions. But I love love love brunch food so I'm excited!
5:36 Sometimes you feel like nuts, sometimes you don’t. 😆
Traditional Easter foods for my family include barbecue carne asada, shrimp tostadas, chili rellenos and bread pudding.
By bread pudding, do you mean capirotada? That’s what I think of when I think of Easter 😊.
Sounds fantastic! 😋
@@honeybadger1847 Yes! Scrumptious 👍🏼
Oh, that’s a great menu!
😮Oh an orange flavoured muffin!! I love all things orange and grapefruit. And a grapefruit cup 😋
We didn't have Easter lunch all the time but when we did I do remember sandwiches, salads and Easter eggs.
I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Born 1947. I don’t remember a special Easter brunch but Easter dinner was always baked ham, scalloped potatoes, deviled eggs, asparagus and lemon meringue pie.
I love your level of excitement with how easily those came out of the pans loll
Garnish the souffle with crumbled bacon!
Who's singing the same thing about the bacon
I was thinking of fish because I can get it in small portions I don't have to have leftovers like a halibut or something fancy I eat salmon all the time the carrot salad would be nice in place of coleslaw
I absolutely LOL'D when you said the egg cake looked like a weird sandwich 😂😂😂
Great menu! Our family always has baked ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, coleslaw, rolls, and a few other random sides, plus a great dessert. Yum! Now I can't wait!!
My mom is a ham dinner person, my in-laws are ham dinner people. I'm fine with ham but I love brunch. My husband and son do not like ham, but also love brunch. So someday in the future we will switch to brunch that includes ham but isn't primarily ham. So that everyone can enjoy the meal. Until that time comes, my husband eats a small amount of ham to please his mother and I pack a sun butter and jelly sandwich for my son who also doesn't eat potatoes so he doesn't starve.
1. I will give Thrive Market a try. Looks interesting.
2. Easter- Well, everyone is an adult, and there are presently no kids, so that ups the ante a little in the egg hunt. I used to put really corny but clean jokes in some of the plastic eggs, also loose change I collected all year, plus of course dyed and decorated hard-boiled eggs, and jelly beans, etc. You know what? A couple years ago, when the kids turned 21, I got those little airline bottles of different types of booze. The jokes got a little more risqué, to elicit at least a "Mother!" as a scold. Hard-boiled eggs go well with better chocolate (I'm looking at you, Riverside Chocolate of McHenry, Illinois), and an assortment of breakfast meats. And yes, adults will humor their mother, or their mother-in-law, and go hunt the bottles of booze, if for no other reason than to have something to mix in their coffee and orange juice.
3. Food for the rest of the day: If it’s not the usual midwestern Easter snow, I grill steaks, baked potatoes, corn, veg. We must have carrot cake for dessert.
My kids are all adults now and I am totally loving the mini booze bottle hunt. I might have the steal that idea!
@brendashope1558 if you like the mini-bottle idea, also consider a weird carrot contest. Why? Because Bugs Bunny aka Easter Bunny aka the cartoon about the Carrot Monster. Participants go to the store and get the weirdest bulk carrot they can find. Voting happens, but you can use applause as well. Winner gets a small box of chocolates. Meijer has individual bulk carrots, among other stores. I like my Meijer because the produce is good and reasonable, and it is close to my house.
I like to think of brunch as second breakfast
So I will admit when I first found your channel I was mostly there for the cooking bits.. the cookbooks were cute but I’d usually go to your next video for more cooking 😅
BUT after watching a few I adore the book chats at the beginning/end of each video. Your enthusiasm and love for your cookbooks collection is so infectious and wholesome, I love watching the book chats now! Thank you as always for sharing your amazing videos!!! 💜
I love your enthusiasm! You've inspired me to review all my old cookbooks and come up with another delicious meal. I'm 76, married for 52 years to a guy who will eat almost anything. Time to get cooking!
When you said the book had pictures of place settings it reminded me of the Los Angeles Country Fair when I was a teenager. One of the home ec. type competitions was set tables. I and my best friend loved going to look at the set tables with different themes. People were so creative.
Never in my life I even suspected that canned grapefruit exists in this universe and yet, here we are! 😂 I will forever be amazed how much stuff the US puts in cans haha
I think with a souffle, you take the 2 forks backs toward each other and insert in the center of the souffle and spread an opening. Now, I myself have NEVER actually MADE a souffle, but I do watch a lot of cooking videos! LOL I'm impressed that you made a souffle and it looks spectacular!
Easter is definitely an excuse to have a big big brunch in my family. I'm from Quebec and here our Easter brunch usually revolves around maple syrup and sugar shack fare. We'll have a big ham glazed with maple syrup, some quiche, maple syrup baked beans, sausages, mimosas and a beautiful fruit platter. It is my favorite meal of the year. And of course, we'll have chocolate for dessert! :D
I, at the age of 39, am just now finding out that there is supposed to be a specific menu for Easter. And that's not to say that my family did not celebrate Easter in the past. It's just that we were usually so busy on Easter Sunday (our church did sunrise service, and I was usually directing the Easter passion play) and the majority of my extended family lived out of town, that we just kind of made deviled eggs out of the spoils of the Easter Egg Hunt and called that lunch. I think I remember a few times having fried chicken from the grocery store deli (if we had enough money) or one grandmother or the other doing a cookout if it wasn't raining. And then after I moved away from my hometown I stopped celebrating Easter altogether. So, this is a whole new world to me, and I kind of want to try these recipes.
I make vegan cinnamon rolls for Easter. My mom always made cinnamon rolls, then dyed some coconut green and made a nest on top of each one. She would put 2-3 jelly beans in each nest and a small candy bunny standing over it. She always made a ham. A good vegetarian breakfast (not vegan) is a toasted English muffin with some cooked spinach on top, topped with a poached egg, with Hollandaise over it.
A few things:
1. Look at you --- more than 42k subs, congratulations!
2. I love Bisquick, the streusel coffee cake is so dang good -- although I double the streusel part because, duh ... streusel. Keeping a box around is worth it just for that.
3. The yellow dessert coupe is beautiful, would be my go-to for serving dip.
4. Your excitement @13:50 energized me
5. No pressure, these videos have become one of my favorite Sunday things.
It also makes great Red Lobster Biscuits.
I have those little hand tongs too. Your description "like using a claw machine" is totally hilarious as well as accurate!
I put those little tongs in my grand kid's toy kitchen supplies 😅
Love this! So nostalgic. Also…yes! Get those sponsorships, girl! 🙌🏼❤️
Thank you! 😊
I’m old enough to remember when recipes said “Beat 450 times,” or some such. On some recipes, my mom and I would take turns.
Edit: it was just 3 of us at lunch for Easter. We had split pea soup, my husband’s favorite.
Fresca is very refreshing with a squirt of lime and some vodka!
Hi Anna! Thank you for brightening up this Monday morning with these fabulous recipes. I never doubted for a minute that you were not cooking your roux correctly. Your sauces and gravies always look perfect to me. 👍 Also, I was cheering you on with the soufflé. I have never tried making one, but you made this look easy! I am so glad you were happy with it. I sure was! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤🙏😁
I love that little yellow cup that you used for the fruit so much!
I love the whole idea of brunch, what a cool book. We usually do Christmas Brunch. On easter must haves are ham, deviled eggs and mac salad.
Using this menu for my Easter Brunch. We are having ham for dinner.
Hooray!!! Bunches of lunches and brunches for Easter!!! 😃✨
The plaid BHG cookbook is my go to for everything. My family does Easter meal at lunch. We do ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, 7 layer salad, deviled eggs plus other things depending who all is attending. All of our holidays are pot luck style. My mom makes the BEST deviled eggs!
I so love your videos... reminder of my childhood...my parents are gone now...I find I make a lot of my mom's recipes for my family ...timeless...takes us back to simpler times... Happy Easter to you ❤
Happy Easter! 🐰
I love how excited you were with the souffle.
I love the books because of the menus
A soufflé triumph! Congratulations, I hope the folks at Better Homes and Gardens will partner with you someday!
That tip about no oil and spraying the liners was so helpful... And your souffle is very impressive.... I miss grapefruit so much I can't eat it anymore but it looks lovely here
Was watching this at 5 am in my country, and almost jumped out of my seat when the bell(?) sound started playing from the Thrive market part of the video. Really thought there was "something" happening
Growing up, we always had lamb for Easter, along with manicotti before the "meat" portion of the meal (my family is Italian). I still cook lamb for easter (with traditional neon green mint jelly lol)- it's the only time during the year I have it, and I look forward to it every year!
I came upon a couple of your videos recently. I fell in love with your channel because of the fact that you cook out of older cookbooks. Keep up the great work! :)
Show us your Pyrex and CorningWare collection.
That egg souffle cake thing is kind of a savory version of one of my favorite recipes from the Reader's Digest Cooking for One or Two, a puffy oven omelet with apples on top. I make it without the apples ifmI don't have any, and it's a lightly sweet souffle type egg dish that's absolutely delish and puffy and relatively easy to make. It's technically 2 servings, lol, but I can eat the whole thing with no guilt whatsoever, it's that tasty.
I love Thrive too. I’ve been a member for two years now. I always buy Truff Mayo from them because they price it two dollars less than my local supermarket (I work there but I buy it from Thrive because it is reasonable in price and sometimes they have Thrive Cash on it too). I buy a lot of healthier snacks from them and the Mary’s Gone Crackers for my hubby, mint chocolate cups for my son, it is a wonderful service.
Love the little dessert bowl. So cute.
I have to have bourbon-brown sugar baked ham, scalloped potatoes, roasted asparagus and carrots, deviled eggs. For dessert this year I'm serving a Pepperidge Farm coconut cake and a Marie Callender chocolate silk pie. I still get a chocolate bunny for myself (it has to be hollow), pectin jelly beans, peeps, and foli-wrapped chocolate eggs. Tradition!
We have kielbasa and often an egg casserole with our mimosas for Easter breakfast. Dinner is ham, deviled eggs, potatoes, Brussels with bacon and a relish tray. I make a lamb cake every year and I am ordering a pie from a local baker. I hope you have a happy Easter! 🐰
When I was a kid, my mom would always add a touch of mustard in her cheese sauce as well as black pepper. It adds a depth that is incredible. I can imagine that the souffle is delicious, wonder if my mom's cheese sauce would go with this. 😊
I do that with my mac and cheese. The mustard really adds something.
I can not quite wrap my head around grapefruit and strawberries.... grapefruit and banana or Strawberries and bananas...So happy to see your clouds of eggs turn out so well.
Not cooking related but I'm currently trying to declutter my dishes especially mugs and bowls. I never get to use all of them because I'm grabbing for the same things. I'm thinking if I have less that's less crowded I might get to use it more
I did this a few years ago. I kept only what I used. Let my grown children rummage through and take what they wanted and donated the rest. Not only did it free up space and clutter I found myself cooking and baking more because I didn’t have to dig through to get what I wanted.
I had the complete 3 piece set of your green Pyrex bowl. I'd been given the set in 1993, I believe. They had been through a lot. And during a purge of kitchen items, I decided to add them to the donate pile.😊
Color me impressed! You souffled! I've never even tried a souffle in my 60 years. Maybe I'll try. You took the scary part out of it.
the only thing that really made Easter "Easter" for me was a coconut cake shaped like a lamb
Hi Anna! LOVE these recipes! Can't wait to make the muffins! Great tip on spraying the liners!😊 Awesome job on the souffle! I am so bummed because they had that cookbook at the book sale I went to yesterday and did not grab it!🤦♀️ Another fun video! Have a great week!❤
My mom had this cookbook. I actually made those muffins for Easter one year! Thanks for great memories!
We do brunch every Easter. Ham in the oven first thing. I make waffles or pancakes, my husband beats 2 dozen eggs. Half plain, half with chopped onion and peppers.
Once the ham is ready we put it in my daughters oven next door and put the bacon on a rack in the oven to broil.
And ready at the end is the strawberry shortcake! We feed 4 children (adult) and 5 grandchildren with boy and girlfriends. (And this year our first great grandchild!)
Happy Easter!🐣🐇🐰
I peeped that Mythical Kitchen cookbook on your shelf 👀😁!
I love all your videos. I am a collector with over 300 cookbooks and an equal amount of booklets and pamphlets. I admire how you take it on to delve into your collection and make these awesome meals. You've inspired me to try and do the same. Thanks for all your time and effort bringing history to life.
I watch GMM with my husband nearly every day, so the cookbook was an absolute must! 😀
Glad you're trying out some recipes from your cookbook collection. I love to hear that!
I have this set of cookbooks, and love them as well! Several still have the original price stickers of $1.29. That's $13.08 in 2024 dollars, fyi.
Congrats on your soufflé working! Great job!! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
❤️🫶🏻😘❄️❄️☃️🥤🍿
My family usually does a spiral sliced ham, a hash brown casserole, and scalloped corn with some fresh green beans. We like to stick to our traditions but my 15 year old son loves a fruity jello mold on special dinners like that.
We usually eat some of the dyed eggs and some toast and maybe a little candy lol for breakfast. Then Easter dinner is usually a little earlier in the day, it’s very similar to thanksgiving but ham instead of turkey and add deviled eggs. We also have pineapple upside down cake or bunny cake instead of pie.
Early dinner - ham and au gratin potatoes
We had lamb sometimes and ham other times. I also remember going out to a special Easter luncheon once. I am so impressed with your soufflé. That completely intimidates me.
As a fellow Ohioan the weather the last month has been either raining, thundering, or the wind blowing a gail.
I feel like there’s been a thunderstorm in my last 3 videos 😂
Or that small frozen pellet stuff. Is it snow...is it frozen rain? I am in NW Ohio, we had 3 different kinds of weather in one day 😵💫
That tornado that hit Indian Lake and Lake View was terrible. I live near Cincinnati but watched 3 out of CLE and some Columbus channel to stay informed.
FYI… I have a muffin tin of my mother’s from the 1960s. The cup volume is slightly smaller than today’s tins. That would account for the recipe stating it makes 16.
Love your videos!!
Thank you! ❤️
I'm so glad you made that egg dish! I host a brunch for a group of friends every New Years Day, and I was hesitant to try that one because of the "egg whites" factor. I will definitely give it a try after seeing your encouraging results!
I would love to see a video of any recipes you have done on your show and changed up to make them even better!
I think the muffin tin cups were smaller back in the day. I know my gran's muffin tray from the 1970's has smaller muffin cups than mine from 2012.
Brava on the cheese soufflé! Thanks to you, I may attempt that one day. 🫣😂
I have made those orange blossom muffins. I had forgotten about them, but I love them. I use my own home made bisquick. But when I was learning to cook I always had Bisquick.
The soufflé kind of looks like a giant eggs benedict. Luv it!😊
Loved how you got so excited when you turned out your souffle. It looked so delicious🙂I've never made one, but you inspired me to try this one.
You can do it! 💪 The excitement was REAL!
I just love your decade and holiday themed full menu recipes! Great job and fun too!❤
Thanks so much! 😊
FYI, I made a roux in the microwave today - I mixed the milk and butter together. Melted the butter into the milk for 30 seconds, Then I added 1 tbsp flour and some seasonings into it, microwaved it for another 20 seconds, whisked it and ran it again for another 20 seconds; whisked and it was done! Amazing.
Sunday breakfasts in our family growing up was usually so good, but we didn't do any particular Easter breakfast and I haven't as a mom, but following my mom's tradition, Sunday breakfasts were late morning and a table full of favorites! As our kids got older, we usually went to family potluck for Easter dinner. 😊
❤😊Loved all the recipes! My mouth watered at the souffle!!! Glad it worked!!! Thank you!🌸🦋🐣🐰🌷💐💕💕👍😀
Very nice job on that souffle! My family doesn't celebrate Easter, but it sounds like a lovely meal.
I bet you'd have a lot more people show up to your Easter Brunch than I'd have show up to mine. Somehow the promise of a couple of hot cross buns and a 5-pack of Peeps doesn't seem to draw. 🤔
I don't think I could handle finding a whole "Thrive" box full of goodies on my porch. I found a box on my porch this morning -- all it had in it was boxes of crackers -- but YIPPEE!! My day was made!! 🤗 It was my back-ordered Irish Brown Bread Crackers made in Cork, Ireland. A week late for St. Patrick's Day, but that's the price I guess you pay for finding them for 44% off. They're just so, so-o-o tasty, and usually so, so-o-o beyond my budget.
I actually have that cookbook!!!!
Happy Easter, Anna! What are you making for Easter? Or will find out next week?🐰
I didn't know until yesterday! 😂 We will be grilling steaks and every one will bring a side dish or dessert.
Everything looks delicious! Always enjoy your videos. We often do a small ham for Easter, maybe with my favorite pasta salad recipe. Sometimes we will do a brunch and make my favorite Southern Living egg casserole called Eggs Florentine. Yummy.
Happy Easter to you and yours!! 🐣🐰
