Crisco Fried Chicken

Good Housekeeping, 1953

  O.M.G. Check out the headline of this fried chicken recipe:  " you can eat em' seven days a week!"  Oh, the 50's....everyone was so innocent!
 OK maybe you shouldn't eat this seven days a week, but once in a while might be ok.
 The first line of the recipe grosses me out a bit " disjoint frying chicken". I don't want to read about "joints" in my recipe. People were also very blunt in the 50's. Go beyond that for a pan fried delicacy!

Sioux Bee Honey "Honey Date Bars"

Good Housekeeping, 1953

 I love these old-time packages the honey came in, this was before the little squeeze honey bears I have always known.
  Honey Date Bars...This is a recipe that could still be featured in Good Housekeeping today. It sounds pretty healthy (except for the shortening part). Dates, nuts, and honey? You can't go wrong!

Campfire Marshmallow Foolproof Fudge and Rice Crispie Treats

Good Housekeeping, 1953

  I'm a little late with the fudge recipe, since it's just after Christmas, but go ahead and make some for your New Year's party, or as an anytime treat.
 This is one of the earliest recipes I have seen for rice crispie treats. Back then they were just simply called 'marshmallow crispy squares'. I haven't made this version, so I need some feedback. Looks yummy! This version is a classic in the truest sense of the word!

Starkist Tuna Pinwheel Pie

Good Housekeeping, 1953

I'm putting this one on my blog for all you tuna lovers out there....not me! It looks like my worst nightmare. But if tuna is your thing, this is an interesting twist. Alter it to your tastes....
