I graduated in 1990. At that time, our small school system still had lunch ladies that made all the food, homemade. We were pretty poor, and ate soup beans and cornbread at least 4 days a week. So, I really looked forward to lunches at school. The only lunch I never liked was fish sticks, I don’t eat seafood. But, the pizzas, the chili, sooo many desserts, I liked it all. So, from a former kid, thank you!
Hard to hear that you had to eat beans and cornbread so many days....but at least you had something to eat. I loved eating lunch at school. I didn't always get to eat as much as I wanted....my Mom always told us..."save enough for Dad".....I always wanted to scream out.....Cook more....it's not all about Dad...
My parents and older siblings came to the us from the acores in 1968. My twin sister and I were born in 1975. Our meals at home were so different than our friends and especially from school lunches. I LOVED SCHOOL LUNCHES!!! We were poor too so it was a real treat to eat the stuff they served. Peanut butter confection was my absolute favorite!!!!!
I graduated in 1993 but worked for the school district from 1996-2000 and was able to get to eat some of that yummy goodness. I was also lucky enough to work at schools that actually cooked and baked onsite. As a elementary school student the food was trucked in to our school and kept warm or warmed. I used to volunteer to serve as a kid too cuz they served us more or seconds
I was raised on pinto beans and cornbread. We were very healthy, too, and not obese. At our small country school, we had great food prepared by 2 of the best cooks that ever put on a hairnet! Thank you, Mrs. C. And Mrs. S.
Kay P. My husband is 17 years older than me and his family was from Oklahoma. We just had beans fried potatoes and tortillas for dinner and a couple days later made chili beans out of the beans with cornbread and coleslaw. His family wouldn’t have had tortillas or coleslaw but he still loves those meals!!!
Miss Lori, I have a 15-year old grandson who has decided that pizza is the best food on the planet. We live in California, and he has tried every kind of 🍕 they make. I sent him your lunch lady pizza video. Had to explain what school lunches used to be like; here in town there's a central kitchen for all schools and they serve pretty yucky stuff he says. So next I heard him rattling pans in kitchen, followed by aroma of 🍕 cooking. He pronounced it GOOD and ate about half by himself. Now he plans to experiment with other toppings and breakfast pizza too. He thanks you, I thank you and send you hugs
You took me back to 1968, I enjoyed the days when pizza was served, Pizza and taco day were the best lunch days. It was served with cheese only then. With corn , sliced peaches and my favorite; warm chocolate pudding cake , that was a happy meal for us back then!
As my hubby would say “I’m eating it, ain’t I?” That’s about all the compliments I get out of him. I love seeing you and Mr. Brown kidding around! So sweet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thats probably why I don't care that I am not married anymore. Gratitude goes a long way. Bless your heart, but to me if a husband can't even compliment his wife on the time preparing a meal speaks volumes about HIS character.
Lol...as a 17 year old I made my Dad eclairs complete with from scratch vanilla custard. They came out perfect...I was so proud. I asked my Dad all nervous.."How were they??" He simply said 'They were alright"...😳 Menfolk...when someone cooks/bakes for yoU....give them a compliment...its to your favour... I have never baked eclairs since that day. ...everything else..but not eclairs..😑
Yes I remember that square lunchroom pizza. I loved my mom's meals but I also loved the lunchroom meals they were great cooks. It was a better time for children, made fresh each day with care. Some of the best meals in my life!! Nothing went into the trash can everything was eaten! Thanks for sharing this 🍕
Well....i think the fact these workers come in and make foods from scratch for the kids and doing a great job adds to the quality of the food. The square pizzas, we'll never forget that. The rolls. I love the squash casserole. It all taste so gooood. Maybe it was because they made it in large quantities.
I loved lunch room pizza and the corn! I was just telling my son how we actually had lunch ladys that used to serve the best darn pizza, with buttered corn and a side of peaches 🤗 an extra piece cost 50 cents!
Thank you for doing this! I used to love lunchroom pizza and the buttery corn. On Fridays we could get a cup of ice cream with one of those little flat wooden spoons. 😊
I grew up in Charleston, S.C. we never got pizza! We did get fried bologna with mashed potatoes and cheese on top. Lots of okra cooked in every way. I hated school lunches! We moved north at 15 ,north west almost to Canada. Every Friday we got a full roast dinner including rolls! Not a day passed without a delicious meal. At all of 98 pounds I ate at least 2 lunches a day and they asked if I needed some to take home lol! I said no I had just never had good school cafeteria food! Your kids were lucky!!
Miss Lori, As a Louisiana teacher from the 1980's in Caldwell Parish, we had the best cooks at the high school. Those ladies could cook, and most of them said they cooked supper for their families after school, too. God bless all those who work with children. Gaye Furlow
When we had pizza at school for lunch the Ladies served it with green salad, canned pears and yes, a cookie or brownie. First time I had pizza was at school. Also sloppy joe's and cornbread and zucchini. Mrs. K's. rule: we had to try a bite of the new dishes she made THEN we could go back for dessert. She also always kept something in the kitchen for any kid who came to school hungry. This was back in the early 1960's.
I loved the Sloppy Joe's. The only thing I'd add was I always wished they would have fried the hamburger buns in butter like my Mom did - what a world of difference!
I really love all the comments about people's memories of school lunch. More specifically, the lunch ladies! 👏🏼❤️ Your comment really hit me. The lunch ladies that saved some for us that had no lunch, asking the kids to "try" a new veggie or whatever, then you get dessert. The homemade food, and their smiles when serving us. The lunch ladies are underrated! Today, a lunch lady could be fired for feeding kids with nothing. These women should be praised. They should be national treasure. You brought back my happiest memories. Thanks ❤️✌️🙏 And thanks to our lunch ladies!!
My mom still substitutes at the cafeteria. She is in her mid 70's. She saw all her grandkids go through her school kitchen in our hometown. I appreciate you Mrs. Lori & Mr. Brown. I could watch your you tube all day!
Wow! My mother also worked in the school cafeteria back in the 60's & 70's when we were in school, she wanted to become with us when we were off! This was on Long Island in New York, the school pizza everyone loved, they used a frozen pizza called "Eli's", they would allow the lunchroom ladies to buy it by the box. Mom did and when we wanted some there it was. The best was she was home with us on holidays and all summer. Man I miss her so! Thanks for reviving the good memories and I am making this today for dinner. Stay well and happy!!! Hugs.
Once your married don’t get pregnant right away, take time to learn from each other also get into that kitchen cook with each other, take that time and keep doing things together you’ll find out so much more about yourselves grow. Make the time you’ll have a much better marriage, friends love.
I loved schoolroom pizza. The crust was thick, like a pan pizza, with a rich sauce, pepperoni, and cheese. I usually took a bag lunch, but always begged my mom for lunch money on pizza days. Thanks for the great video.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'VE NOT SEEN THIS VIDEO BEFORE NOW ...YES THAT'S WHAT WE ALWAYS HAD TOGETHER AS WELL THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE DAYS...THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK SOME VERY FOND MEMORIES... BLESS YOU AND MR BROWN FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE WITH US
Didn't have school lunches until highschool 1960-1964. Could only have lunch money a couple of times a week and pizza day was always one of them. Our head cook was a man, Mr. Zackery. Such a nice, funny man. When I was a junior and senior, he gave me a job serving at banquets he did. Training me to be a lunch lady? All the lunch ladies took care of us kids. Thanks for the reminder. Love to you and Mr. Brown.
I graduated La Follette high school in 1973(TN) and I still remember our wonderful lunch room ladies and the delicious meals. Nothing like that served in lunch rooms today. My favorite was the homemade rolls and chili day. I remember in our Home Ec class we made the best from scratch brownies I have ever eaten. I had that recipe for years but lost it. I can remember it had crisco in it but that is it. So delicious. Thank you for your videos.
I graduated in '73 from Columbia River HS, Vancouver, WA. Pizza day was a favorite. I remember my mom telling me not to rush time because one day I will wish I was back home in the simple times. I argued that she was wrong. Mom, you were right.
In 60s in elementary school, Fridays were NO MEAT days. We were served fish sticks that usually were dried out but delicious with the lunchroom made tartar sauce.
Missed watching you make it. Interesting ceiling. Love the pantry! I loved the lunch lady in grade school. Sammy would let you come to school early and help her start the preparation for lunch. 5 minutes before the school bell rang she had you wash up and go to class. Lunch ladies are under appreciated. Here they cook for all the schools in one place and sent to each school. Sad but that is the times now.
Hey miss Lori im a year later watchin this and I can remember pizza day at school back in the 60s and 70s, every Friday! It was my favorite of the week! These days my grandchildren even still look forward to pizza day at their school, where im proud to say my daughter is a lunch lady!!!❤
I've been making this recipe every couple of months since the day you put your video out. This was food of the gods for me in school. Born in the 60's and growing up on a farm, my mom was always on a diet- but never a pizza diet. 😂 It's funny, our childhood memories of food. I also think kids have better taste buds and can enjoy food more than old folks like me. But nonetheless, this pizza sure does hit the spot!😂
so glad I found this. I was raised by my dad and we were poor so I use to work in the lunchroom for free lunch, pizza day, chili day, and cheese sandwich days were my favorite. And, of course, the chocolate milk. Can't say it wasn't really embarrassing and I got made fun but it must have been a little ok because thinking of this food makes me smile. Thank you for sharing. One more thing, to this day I will fix chili and I HAVE to have cinnamon rolls with it. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but that's how I remember it from school, and I love the sweet and salty together.
I was in high school in the early 1970s and we all loved the lunchroom pizza! If I remember right the crust tasted like it may have been made from Bisquick or something similar. And I remember cheddar cheese (or maybe a mixture?) as the only topping we ever got and the sauce seemed to be stewed tomatoes. And they always served corn with it on the side. That sounds weird but the flavor combination was actually good!
Yes!!! I remember making pizza with bisquick crust in junior high home ec… it was plain and simple but very good, and I haven’t been able to find the recipe in ages!🙁
In jr high (middle school) we used biscuits in the can to make round pizzas from good ole Pillsbury. The square pizzas we definitely had in elementary schools, and I believe they still make them today. I miss my lunch ladies in my elementary school. The food was so good. My favorite being from AZ. They served enchiladas in the 70’s which were absolutely to die for!!! I to this day haven’t had one as good since! 😋Lol
I graduated in 1989 and loved when our lunch ladies would make these pizzas. They have changed the menu so much since I graduated. Thank you for sharing this recipe sweetheart.
I remember those rectangular pizzas at school in the 80's and 90's. So good. I also liked the chicken fingers with honey and then dipped in mashed potatoes and gravy. We had great salads. I went for those unless it was pizza or chicken fingers. I'll have graduated 26 years ago come May 22. WOW!
Omg I soooooo missed the days of school 🍕 in the 80's. Then as time went in it became "band pizza sales" and they sure made a heck of alot of money selling them a stack in a bag. My kids watched this with me and they are jumping up and down so excited. Gonna make it Tuesday for dinner with them . As always, thank you 😊 so much for sharing your talents.
I graduated in 1973 in small town tx. and my fav's were cafateria pizza on Tuesday, chicken fried steak on Wednesday. So good I always remembered them. Thursday and Friday I went fishing !!! True story it is
My school didn't use pepperoni. They had a crumbled hamburger in a red sauce kind of topping. I'm sure it was home-made. Wish I new the recipe for it. It was REALLY good !!
Yep, middle school was where I remember lunch room pizza. I laughed when she said it was always cut in rectangles because I had been thinking about that earlier in the video. I can almost taste it now. 😋
I was in grade school in the 1960's, all our lunches were made fresh in the school kitchen! Awesome meals! (except for the canned peas!) Hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes was a favorite, along with fresh baked rolls and peanut butter bars! Wish I had you lunch ladies to cook for me now!
My Granny was the cook at our small school. Friday was sheet pan pizza day. We always looked forward to the great pizzas she made. The leftovers were a treat warmed up on Saturday night. Miss those simple days
I went to school in the 60s and 70s and I have such fond memories of the lunches the dear ladies cooked fresh for us every day. The pizza was one of my favorites. They used hamburger meat. Thanks for the memories.
In elementary school we walked back home for lunch from 11:00-1:00. Junior High was our first experience with all day school and lunch at school. What a wonderful group of talented ladies we had making lunch for us. You are so right, corn and a brownie with the pizza and a packed lunch room on those days!
Not so much packed lunchroom these days. Between remote learners and social distancing, the kids are so quiet and orderly compared to years past. Karen (her true name) said on Friday, on this day last year she went thru 32 pizzas..this year 3. Heavenly Father deliver us from this plague, sustain our spirits. Help us help one another. Amen🙏✨
I miss school of the 70s. Our lunchladies were so sweet and made most everything from scratch. I do remember seeing drab green #10 military cans of veggies on the shelves in the kitchen, but they never got used. They would just dust them 😆 The best part? This was when a lunchlady gave you a big hug and it was ok to do so..meant a lot to us kids on hard days ❤
My lunch room lady was Mrs. Nelson and I loved her she also was my neighbor and she and Mr. Nelson had the most beautiful garden. When I got to fourth grade I had the privilege of working in the lunch room. My memories are fond one's it was a simpler time for sure. Thank you for sharing Ms. Lori! ❤🍕❤
god bless you. not just for this recipe, but you and women like you kept our stomachs full and we didnt realize how special you were for that when we were kids.
I worked for school maintenance for 35 years when I started in 1980 the wonderful ladies in the kitchens keep me fed like with some good home still cooking herbs salt pepper bacon in greens the best cobbler then things changed miss those hard working ladies
Mr Brown is a prankster Mrs Brown! He gotcha, Mr Brown reminds me of my husband....a fun good hearted country boy! I love watching ya'll! God Bless you all! ❤🎚❤
I'm sorry but idk what type of school food you had but mine was inedible, frozen, microwaved, rock solid, disgusting low variety, low quality, cheap food. ESPECIALLY THE PIZZA - n a s t y
I grew up watching my Italian mom cook everyday. Now I’m 21 and I still would rather cook with my mom than anything in the world lol. This lady reminds me of my mom ❤️
I absolutely love seeing you two interact. I recently found your channel and have made bread,rolls and cinnamon rolls so far. Love them so much. Well I don't. I can't have gluten. But hubby is one happy man. Thank you!!!
Pizza 🍕 day (that was the most filling & yummy square slice) at lunch was fun! I’m 56 and remember standing in line trying to hurry to get to the table eat 🍕 and whisper about crushes on boys! We had baked chicken in elementary school, an entire chicken breast with buttered rice and pears or I’d bring my metal lunchbox with a thermos of spaghetti 🍝 and a 🥧 😂 Awww memories!! Makes me tear up at how much lunch ladies cared for us, giving us 🍪 or extra milks if we spilled ours 😂 ❤️
Oh I love these lunch lady recipes! I have a lot of flour and yeast to use up so I can make my own dough and sauce. Thanks Miss Lori. I hope you and Mr Brown are well. God bless! 😊🙏❤️
I'm a little late seeing this. Thank you for sharing it. I love listening to you and Mr.Brown laugh and carry on. Next time my brothers and sister come visit momma, I am going to make this and serve it with corn and brownies! It will be a hoot!!😂 I love y'all. You're such a blessing.
Thanks for this! I never liked school lunch, I always brought my lunch. My husband loved school pizza and spaghetti. His Mama was a lunch lady for over 25 years and she gifted me the pans that you are using (huge one and this size) when we got married! Still have them and cook on almost every day 😁 She gave the daughter in laws a set when we married her son's LOL. Mine are over 20 years old and still goin strong! Thanks for this memory ❤️
I think Lori needs to meet up with Mimma Joyce on UA-cam. She has the same background and did a video on schoolhouse spaghetti. Yep. They’re my two favorite.
I ate lunch room pizza, chili, sausage gravy over mashed potatoes, and the most incredible cinnamon rolls, I went to grade school in the 60's. This brings back wonderful memories of sweet ladies, $.25 lunches and a happiness of my small town life growing up. I will make this pizza for hubby & me. I feel bad that my children didn't experience this, thank you😊.
@@vickip54 Mama Joyce has ( since your comment ) passed away.😥, her son Marshall Wood continues with his cooking show. Mama Joyce was such a delight, too. Yes, it would have been great for Mrs. Brown to meet Mama Joyce.
Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown, You two are adorable! I have looked online for this pizza, for recipes, and I nearly thought of working in the lunchroom to get it! This pizza was soooo good and my all time favorite. Nothing like craving something from school years but here we are 😁 Thank you for this! I can't wait to make this at home! 😍 🍕🍕
I LOVE that you were a lunchroom lady for 16 years!!! I didn’t know that! I’m sure the kids loved you!!!💖. Many thanks for all your wonderful, yummy recipes. Sending hugs, much love and gratitude.☺️
I have watched this episode several times. Everytime it makes so hungry for pizza! Looks so good! And I don't even like pepperoni! LOL! Reminds me of elementary school in the 1960s!
School pizza really has always been different. I still remember it after not having it for 36 years. I still don't know if it actually tasted better or if pizza day was just a good day, but I really liked that stuff.
Miss Lori and Mr. Brown God bless you both! I'm a lunch lady, have been for the past 12 years and love it! One of the other lunch ladies I work with highly recommend your channel and I'm so very grateful. The pizza and cinnamon rolls are on my list! Thanks for sharing and your beautiful spirit. ❤
Hi, Lori! I’m definitely going to try this! You make everything look so “do-able.” I just love your sweet voice and how calm you always are. I’ve watched so many of your videos and you’ve shared so much of your personal life with us that I feel like I actually know you. I just wanted to tell you that I fixed your fried cabbage and fried sweet potatoes with pork chops and a side of applesauce last night. Thank you! ❤️ Both of your dishes got a strong thumbs up and are now on cards in my recipe box.
Oh I loved this pizza when I was in grade school... exactly like she said with corn and a brownie! ❤️. I love the roast chicken meals with the mashed potatoes too. If I could rewind time.
Growing up in Southern Missouri in the 60’s we never had pizza for lunch at school. Never heard of it until my Momma bought the Chef Boy Ardee Pizza mix. Still love that pizza mix.
I grew up on Chef Boyardee pizza. My mom made it a couple times a month with sausage, onion, peppers, mushrooms, and green olives. She would make 3-4 pizzas for our family of 8 and the leftovers we had cold the next morning for breakfast. In watching this video I was thinking it looked like Chef Boyardee and sent the video to my son and daughter and they had the same response. "We need to try this!". Thank you so much for this recipe Miss Lori. I was also wondering if you had a recipe for lunch ladies chocolate chip cookies. I loved the cookies they had at school but can't find a recipe. They were always taken out early so they stayed chewy. I crave those cookies and haven't been able to find an appropriate recipe. I am from Central New York and would greatly appreciate any help in finding this cookie recipe.
I miss it ! I grew up so fast I didn’t appreciate it back then but I find my self living in a big city searching for thing thats always kept me going so I find myself researching the lunch lady’s pizza recipe you ladies made our childhood special!
Pizza day was one of my favorite lunches at school. My other favorite was when we had Brown Bean Chowder. They always served cinnamon rolls that day. I can’t remember if we had corn with our pizza at school, but when my kids were growing up I always served green beans and apple sauce with pizza. It didn’t matter if it was homemade, frozen or takeout, LOL. I thought my kids needed the fruit and veg. 🥰
My mother always serve corn along side of cheese pizza during Lent. Now I know where she must have gotten the combination from...she was a teacher. Thank you for another great recipe.
I graduated in 1989 and I still sooo miss the school pizzas...every Thursday. I'd always bring extra money on Thursdays to tank up on the school pizzas. Now I'll make my own! Thanks for the video Lunch Lady!!
There used to be a gas station that served the school pizza and would sell it by the slice or pan. It’s been years since they closed and I’ve sure missed it. Also, I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, but every single thing about your kitchen is my literal dream kitchen. It is so beautiful!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is obsessed with this kitchen! I spend so much time trying to see the kitchen that I have to watch the video a second time to see what's cooking! It seems like it is always changing and I can't keep up. I think that gorgeous black floral print that was over the kitchen sink is gone and I just loved that. Nevertheless, I wish my kitchen looked like this.
Sharyn, I do the same thing! I always spend the first time watching the video just to get glimpses of the kitchen and watch again for the recipes, lol. I’ve even paused and taken screenshots for reference of things I’d love to do to my kitchen in the immediate future. We are in the process of gutting and remodeling our new house and I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from Mrs Brown. I’m having a custom bar built with the same corrugated metal panels as trim that are on her ceiling right now.
@@LorrieB330 Wow, that's impressive! I wish she would just do a slow tour of the whole kitchen. I have very modern decor, but not in the kitchen. I just love old-fashioned, vintage kitchens. At one point I thought I saw a quilt on Miss Lori's table and I thought what a fabulous idea, it was so inviting. I'm trying to emulate that on my table, unsuccessfully though because it is round. I have also noticed she has some Pioneer Woman accessories so I had to go and buy some of those and I love them! I bet Miss Lori never thought when she started her channel, of which I am new to, that people would want to copy her and Mr. Brown's ideas. They definitely think outside of the box!
I have not eaten school cafeteria pizza in about 17 years but I still remember how it taste. Something about rectangle pizza with little square bits of pepperoni tastes like no other pizza. The closest I’ve found is those little Totinos pizzas, but even then the taste is still a little off from the ones they served at school. The sides were corn, school salad with ranch and canned peaches I’m gonna try this recipe soon, thank you for posting this!❤️
Thanks 🙏🏻🤗❤️ to all the cafeteria ladies who worked all morning to give us a good lunch. I loved everything because at home we didn’t have much variety for dinner. Even the fish sticks😂
Ahhhh yessss! School pizza... rectangle like you just made... NOT "stop sign" pizza they eventually replaced the GOOD stuff with.😖 I'll never understand why they mess with stuff that people are happy with. Oh well... for me that was almost 120 years ago, so.... no more whining!!🤭 I have just one more comment yo make, before I go try my hand at making school pizza... Mr Brown has GOT to be the most handsome, adorable & sweetest man on UA-cam!! And THEN... add in a great sense of humor & THE most adorable, impish smile & welllll.... ya got yourself a HANDFUL!! The BEST part for me (all kidding aside) is his obvious affection for MS Lori. It shows in the things he does for her around home, (not the least of which is that pantry), the way he looks at her when she's talking, just any number of things that show how he feels about her even after a lot of years together. You guys are just sweet, down to earth people that I so enjoy watching. Keep up the good work, be good to each other, stay happy & healthy & have a bumper crop for the rest of this season! God bless!!🙏
You made me smile with this video - and made me hungry! As a schoolboy, I remember balking at the cafeteria pizza because it didn’t look like what we got at the pizzerias of the period (Shakey’s, Pizza Hut, Pizza Haven, etc.). But I ate it, by gosh. After a while I realized that I actually liked it quite well and looked forward to he days it was served. What I learned and appreciated later, is that there are all sorts of pizzas and that most were satisfying, depending on the mood of my palate. Sometimes Red Baron hits the spot just fine; other times bring on the fancy schmancy stuff. These days, this lunch lady pizza isn’t an available option. Until this video. Thanks! There’s one other dish that no one did like the lunch lady: chicken fried steak. One day I hope to experience that again.
Looks yummy. Since it's been over 55 years since I was in high school, I don't remember the pizza. But I'm sure we had it. Everything then was still homemade. The thing I remember everyone fighting for was the chocolate Fudge pie! O M G! It was amazing. School lunch memories are wonderful. By the way, the sugar in the recipe is to "feed" the yeast. It helps it bloom. Love your videos. You and Mr Brown are precious. 😊
I know it made me want lunch room pizza . My dad when we were kids on Friday night use to make us two chef boyarde pizzas . Oh , the good ole days. Thanks 🍕
I just made this for our supper and we loved it! My hubby said it was very good. I put chopped pepperoni, chopped dried tomatoes and my home canned pork sausage on it. Thank you for sharing!
I remember school lunches as being sooo good. Especially the yeast rolls. Loved the soup and toasted peanut butter or pimento cheese sandwiches. Even in high school they had good food. Now days the food is awful. Prepackaged warmed up. I have gone to eat with my grandchildren and after the first time I started taking my lunch. They take theirs too! Miss those days.
@Phyllis...I just added the same comment. School lunches for me children were processed crap. And sadly those were only "good" meals some children had.
Thank YOU Miss Lori, I have so longed for this. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU🤗🤗🤗🤗 Pizza slice filled the largest section, corn was in another section, fruit cup or brownie in the other section and milk in the final section.
I sure needed this today! School lunch pizza is still my favorite pizza and I'm nearly fifty. 😂 I'll be making it for dinner tonight, miss Lori, I thank you so much!!!! I have everything except the mozzarella, and I'm headed to the store now. ♥️♥️♥️
I enjoy these lunch lady videos because I am one of them. I am in my second year and it is a lot of work. Due to Covid this year has been harder work due to the extra packaging and precautions, but it's not a job that I dread going to like I have had in the past.
I graduated in 1990. At that time, our small school system still had lunch ladies that made all the food, homemade. We were pretty poor, and ate soup beans and cornbread at least 4 days a week.

Hard to hear that you had to eat beans and cornbread so many days....but at least you had something to eat. I loved eating lunch at school. I didn't always get to eat as much as I wanted....my Mom always told us..."save enough for Dad".....I always wanted to scream out.....Cook more....it's not all about Dad...
My parents and older siblings came to the us from the acores in 1968. My twin sister and I were born in 1975. Our meals at home were so different than our friends and especially from school lunches. I LOVED SCHOOL LUNCHES!!! We were poor too so it was a real treat to eat the stuff they served. Peanut butter confection was my absolute favorite!!!!!
I graduated in 1993 but worked for the school district from 1996-2000 and was able to get to eat some of that yummy goodness. I was also lucky enough to work at schools that actually cooked and baked onsite. As a elementary school student the food was trucked in to our school and kept warm or warmed.

Kay P. My husband is 17 years older than me and his family was from Oklahoma. We just had beans fried potatoes and tortillas for dinner and a couple days later made chili beans out of the beans with cornbread and coleslaw. His family wouldn’t have had tortillas or coleslaw but he still loves those meals!!!
Miss Lori, I have a 15-year old grandson who has decided that pizza is the best food on the planet. We live in California, and he has tried every kind of 🍕 they make. I sent him your lunch lady pizza video. Had to explain what school lunches used to be like; here in town there's a central kitchen for all schools and they serve pretty yucky stuff he says. So next I heard him rattling pans in kitchen, followed by aroma of 🍕 cooking. He pronounced it GOOD and ate about half by himself. Now he plans to experiment with other toppings and breakfast pizza too. He thanks you, I thank you and send you hugs
😊
You took me back to 1968, I enjoyed the days when pizza was served, Pizza and taco day were the best lunch days. It was served with cheese only then. With corn , sliced peaches and my favorite; warm chocolate pudding cake , that was a happy meal for us back then!
Yep, growing up mid70’s in Minnesota, we had actual lunch ladies. Thank you ladies! Best lunches
As my hubby would say “I’m eating it, ain’t I?” That’s about all the compliments I get out of him. I love seeing you and Mr. Brown kidding around! So sweet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thats probably why I don't care that I am not married anymore. Gratitude goes a long way. Bless your heart, but to me if a husband can't even compliment his wife on the time preparing a meal speaks volumes about HIS character.
@@pamelaremme38 When my boyfriend kids around, saying "meh" at my offering, I take it off him. He loves to wind me up.
@@pamelaremme38 It was a joke. He's crazy about her... my husband and I tease each other constantly. It's not rude lol

vanilla custard. They came out perfect...I was so proud. I asked my Dad all nervous.."How were they??" He simply said 'They were alright"...😳 Menfolk...when someone cooks/bakes for yoU....give them a compliment...its to your favour...
I have never baked eclairs since that day.
...everything else..but not eclairs..😑
@@tigger1038 / and you love it too I would guess !
Yes I remember that square lunchroom pizza. I loved my mom's meals but I also loved the lunchroom meals they were great cooks. It was a better time for children, made fresh each day with care. Some of the best meals in my life!! Nothing went into the trash can everything was eaten! Thanks for sharing this 🍕
Well....i think the fact these workers come in and make foods from scratch for the kids and doing a great job adds to the quality of the food. The square pizzas, we'll never forget that. The rolls. I love the squash casserole. It all taste so gooood. Maybe it was because they made it in large quantities.
I loved lunch room pizza and the corn! I was just telling my son how we actually had lunch ladys that used to serve the best darn pizza, with buttered corn and a side of peaches 🤗 an extra piece cost 50 cents!
Same here….,, and sometimes a cookie! Yummmmmy
I’m sitting here watching this remembering exactly what the school breakfast and lunch pizza tasted like in the late 1980s and 1990s. Nostalgic ❤️
Would you make a breakfast pizza
Please, It was very good
Nowadays I see so many students going to the nearest quick stop & get junk food for lunch. Be it good or bad , times have changed.😁
Thank you for doing this! I used to love lunchroom pizza and the buttery corn. On Fridays we could get a cup of ice cream with one of those little flat wooden spoons. 😊
Nothing made ice cream taste so good - loved the wooden spoon!!!!!!!
This takes me back to the 70s and 80s, pizza was always my favorite at school for lunch here in the south.. May God bless Y'all🙏
and the salad bar
I grew up in Charleston, S.C. we never got pizza! We did get fried bologna with mashed potatoes and cheese on top. Lots of okra cooked in every way. I hated school lunches! We moved north at 15 ,north west almost to Canada. Every Friday we got a full roast dinner including rolls! Not a day passed without a delicious meal. At all of 98 pounds I ate at least 2 lunches a day and they asked if I needed some to take home lol! I said no I had just never had good school cafeteria food! Your kids were lucky!!
@@sts.556 a salad bar? Oh you had it good!
And fresh baked yeast rolls 😏
@@montanaliving4769 late 80s
Miss Lori,
As a Louisiana teacher from the 1980's in Caldwell Parish, we had the best cooks at the high school.
Those ladies could cook, and most of them said they cooked supper for their families after school, too.
God bless all those who work with children.

When we had pizza at school for lunch the Ladies served it with green salad, canned pears and yes, a cookie or brownie. First time I had pizza was at school. Also sloppy joe's and cornbread and zucchini. Mrs. K's. rule: we had to try a bite of the new dishes she made THEN we could go back for dessert. She also always kept something in the kitchen for any kid who came to school hungry. This was back in the early 1960's.
I loved the Sloppy Joe's. The only thing I'd add was I always wished they would have fried the hamburger buns in butter like my Mom did - what a world of difference!
I remember when PB & J was the de facto camp lunch for anyone who forgot theirs. Now it gets treated like it's a dangerous poison.
I really love all the comments about people's memories of school lunch. More specifically, the lunch ladies! 👏🏼❤️ Your comment really hit me. The lunch ladies that saved some for us that had no lunch, asking the kids to "try" a new veggie or whatever, then you get dessert. The homemade food, and their smiles when serving us. The lunch ladies are underrated! Today, a lunch lady could be fired for feeding kids with nothing. These women should be praised. They should be national treasure. You brought back my happiest memories. Thanks ❤️✌️🙏 And thanks to our lunch ladies!!
We had crinkle cut fries!
Robin Lillian I mean yeah, some kids will die from it so it’s not allowed lol
My mom still substitutes at the cafeteria. She is in her mid 70's. She saw all her grandkids go through her school kitchen in our hometown. I appreciate you Mrs. Lori & Mr. Brown. I could watch your you tube all day!
Good ole pizza day..those beautiful rectangles of goodness. I tell my kids often about pizza day..
Wow! My mother also worked in the school cafeteria back in the 60's & 70's when we were in school, she wanted to become with us when we were off! This was on Long Island in New York, the school pizza everyone loved, they used a frozen pizza called "Eli's", they would allow the lunchroom ladies to buy it by the box. Mom did and when we wanted some there it was. The best was she was home with us on holidays and all summer. Man I miss her so! Thanks for reviving the good memories and I am making this today for dinner. Stay well and happy!!! Hugs.
Once your married don’t get pregnant right away, take time to learn from each other also get into that kitchen cook with each other, take that time and keep doing things together you’ll find out so much more about yourselves grow. Make the time you’ll have a much better marriage, friends love.
I loved schoolroom pizza. The crust was thick, like a pan pizza, with a rich sauce, pepperoni, and cheese. I usually took a bag lunch, but always begged my mom for lunch money on pizza days. Thanks for the great video.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'VE NOT SEEN THIS VIDEO BEFORE NOW ...YES THAT'S WHAT WE ALWAYS HAD TOGETHER AS WELL THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE DAYS...THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK SOME VERY FOND MEMORIES... BLESS YOU AND MR BROWN FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE WITH US
Didn't have school lunches until highschool 1960-1964. Could only have lunch money a couple of times a week and pizza day was always one of them. Our head cook was a man, Mr. Zackery. Such a nice, funny man. When I was a junior and senior, he gave me a job serving at banquets he did. Training me to be a lunch lady? All the lunch ladies took care of us kids. Thanks for the reminder. Love to you and Mr. Brown.
Always my favorite and we had it on Friday in school. Thank you Ms. Lori.
I graduated La Follette high school in 1973(TN) and I still remember our wonderful lunch room ladies and the delicious meals. Nothing like that served in lunch rooms today. My favorite was the homemade rolls and chili day. I remember in our Home Ec class we made the best from scratch brownies I have ever eaten. I had that recipe for years but lost it. I can remember it had crisco in it but that is it. So delicious. Thank you for your videos.
I graduated in '73 from Columbia River HS, Vancouver, WA. Pizza day was a favorite. I remember my mom telling me not to rush time because one day I will wish I was back home in the simple times. I argued that she was wrong. Mom, you were right.
Loved this! We always has “pizza Fridays” and it was ALWAYS served with corn and a cookie and chocolate milk. 🍕🌽🍪😀👍
In 60s in elementary school, Fridays were NO MEAT days. We were served fish sticks that usually were dried out but delicious with the lunchroom made tartar sauce.
Missed watching you make it. Interesting ceiling. Love the pantry! I loved the lunch lady in grade school. Sammy would let you come to school early and help her start the preparation for lunch. 5 minutes before the school bell rang she had you wash up and go to class. Lunch ladies are under appreciated. Here they cook for all the schools in one place and sent to each school. Sad but that is the times now.
Hey miss Lori im a year later watchin this and I can remember pizza day at school back in the 60s and 70s, every Friday! It was my favorite of the week! These days my grandchildren even still look forward to pizza day at their school, where im proud to say my daughter is a lunch lady!!!❤
We def need a cookbook from you, Lori! 🤗 🍕🍕 I so remember the lunchroom pizzas!! (Jr High & High School in 60’s) 👍✝️
I've been making this recipe every couple of months since the day you put your video out. This was food of the gods for me in school.
Born in the 60's and growing up on a farm, my mom was always on a diet- but never a pizza diet. 😂 It's funny, our childhood memories of food.
I also think kids have better taste buds and can enjoy food more than old folks like me.
But nonetheless, this pizza sure does hit the spot!😂
I love Mr. Brown’s robust laugh. He’s such a good sport!
so glad I found this. I was raised by my dad and we were poor so I use to work in the lunchroom for free lunch, pizza day, chili day, and cheese sandwich days were my favorite. And, of course, the chocolate milk. Can't say it wasn't really embarrassing and I got made fun but it must have been a little ok because thinking of this food makes me smile. Thank you for sharing. One more thing, to this day I will fix chili and I HAVE to have cinnamon rolls with it. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but that's how I remember it from school, and I love the sweet and salty together.
Kathi, you were actually THE FORTUNATE ONE ❗️♥️
I was in high school in the early 1970s and we all loved the lunchroom pizza! If I remember right the crust tasted like it may have been made from Bisquick or something similar. And I remember cheddar cheese (or maybe a mixture?) as the only topping we ever got and the sauce seemed to be stewed tomatoes. And they always served corn with it on the side. That sounds weird but the flavor combination was actually good!
Yes!!! I remember making pizza with bisquick crust in junior high home ec… it was plain and simple but very good, and I haven’t been able to find the recipe in ages!🙁
In jr high (middle school) we used biscuits in the can to make round pizzas from good ole Pillsbury. The square pizzas we definitely had in elementary schools, and I believe they still make them today. I miss my lunch ladies in my elementary school. The food was so good. My favorite being from AZ. They served enchiladas in the 70’s which were absolutely to die for!!!
I to this day haven’t had one as good since! 😋Lol
I graduated in 1989 and loved when our lunch ladies would make these pizzas. They have changed the menu so much since I graduated. Thank you for sharing this recipe sweetheart.
I remember those rectangular pizzas at school in the 80's and 90's. So good.
I also liked the chicken fingers with honey and then dipped in mashed potatoes and gravy.
We had great salads. I went for those unless it was pizza or chicken fingers.
I'll have graduated 26 years ago come May 22.
WOW!
Omg I've been waiting for this one....BEST PIZZA EVER! I miss my school days in the 80's and 90's
Omg I soooooo missed the days of school 🍕 in the 80's. Then as time went in it became "band pizza sales" and they sure made a heck of alot of money selling them a stack in a bag.
My kids watched this with me and they are jumping up and down so excited. Gonna make it Tuesday for dinner with them .
As always, thank you 😊 so much for sharing your talents.
Thats wonderful!
I graduated in 1973 in small town tx. and my fav's were cafateria pizza on Tuesday, chicken fried steak on Wednesday. So good I always remembered them. Thursday and Friday I went fishing !!! True story it is
My school didn't use pepperoni. They had a crumbled hamburger in a red sauce kind of topping. I'm sure it was home-made. Wish I new the recipe for it. It was REALLY good !!
Yuppppp!!!! Mine did too. Going to try a replicate it. 😍
I swear I saw a video for that somewhere in yt land
Probably a fifty fifty mix of hamburger and sausage, start it in about an inch of water and mash it as it cooks.
@@tional5266 my recipes has the hamburger recipe.
With coriander seed right?
My childhood 😍😍😍 pizza day was the BEST lunchroom day 😄
Yep, middle school was where I remember lunch room pizza. I laughed when she said it was always cut in rectangles because I had been thinking about that earlier in the video. I can almost taste it now. 😋
The camera is pointed up a little to high. Can't see the dough
Right when I was posting about camera you were fixing it. Sorry.
YES NEVA..
Pizza day and fried chicken day was awesome
I was in grade school in the 1960's, all our lunches were made fresh in the school kitchen! Awesome meals! (except for the canned peas!) Hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes was a favorite, along with fresh baked rolls and peanut butter bars! Wish I had you lunch ladies to cook for me now!
My Granny was the cook at our small school. Friday was sheet pan pizza day.
We always looked forward to the great pizzas she made.
The leftovers were a treat warmed up on Saturday night.
Miss those simple days
I went to school in the 60s and 70s and I have such fond memories of the lunches the dear ladies cooked fresh for us every day. The pizza was one of my favorites. They used hamburger meat. Thanks for the memories.
Looks delicious! BTW the sugar is to feed the yeast. Have a blessed day and stay safe!
Yes the sugar in the flour mix is....the sugar in the sauce is to cut thru the acidity of the tomatoes 🍅
In elementary school we walked back home for lunch from 11:00-1:00. Junior High was our first experience with all day school and lunch at school. What a wonderful group of talented ladies we had making lunch for us. You are so right, corn and a brownie with the pizza and a packed lunch room on those days!
Not so much packed lunchroom these days. Between remote learners and social distancing, the kids are so quiet and orderly compared to years past. Karen (her true name) said on Friday, on this day last year she went thru 32 pizzas..this year 3. Heavenly Father deliver us from this plague, sustain our spirits. Help us help one another. Amen🙏✨
I miss school of the 70s. Our lunchladies were so sweet and made most everything from scratch. I do remember seeing drab green #10 military cans of veggies on the shelves in the kitchen, but they never got used. They would just dust them 😆 The best part? This was when a lunchlady gave you a big hug and it was ok to do so..meant a lot to us kids on hard days ❤
My lunch room lady was Mrs. Nelson and I loved her she also was my neighbor and she and Mr. Nelson had the most beautiful garden. When I got to fourth grade I had the privilege of working in the lunch room. My memories are fond one's it was a simpler time for sure. Thank you for sharing Ms. Lori! ❤🍕❤
god bless you. not just for this recipe, but you and women like you kept our stomachs full and we didnt realize how special you were for that when we were kids.
I worked for school maintenance for 35 years when I started in 1980 the wonderful ladies in the kitchens keep me fed like with some good home still cooking herbs salt pepper bacon in greens the best cobbler then things changed miss those hard working ladies
Mr Brown is a prankster Mrs Brown! He gotcha, Mr Brown reminds me of my husband....a fun good hearted country boy! I love watching ya'll! God Bless you all! ❤🎚❤
I sure do miss school pizza. Those rectangular slices on a soft crust with little bits of beef or sausage. SO good.
That was the only day I ate lunch. Pizza day
@@ladyo7254 me too!
Yes but too much of it can make you FAT! 😂
I'm sorry but idk what type of school food you had but mine was inedible, frozen, microwaved, rock solid, disgusting low variety, low quality, cheap food.
ESPECIALLY THE PIZZA - n a s t y
I don't. Grew up in chicago and our public school pizza was terrible.
I grew up watching my Italian mom cook everyday. Now I’m 21 and I still would rather cook with my mom than anything in the world lol. This lady reminds me of my mom ❤️
Is that you flippin the bird? Ms Lori would probably take you by your ear and out you in timeout!
Lol no that’s my cousin I’m the other one haha, and I don’t smoke cigs anymore that’s a photo from 3 years ago
Mr. Brown said it's not his favorite but he can't stop eating it. I'm pretty sure he really likes it. I love how you guys tease each other.
I absolutely love seeing you two interact. I recently found your channel and have made bread,rolls and cinnamon rolls so far. Love them so much. Well I don't. I can't have gluten. But hubby is one happy man. Thank you!!!
Pizza 🍕 day (that was the most filling & yummy square slice) at lunch was fun!
I’m 56 and remember standing in line trying to hurry to get to the table eat 🍕 and whisper about crushes on boys!
We had baked chicken in elementary school, an entire chicken breast with buttered rice and pears or I’d bring my metal lunchbox with a thermos of spaghetti 🍝 and a 🥧 😂
Awww memories!! Makes me tear up at how much lunch ladies cared for us, giving us 🍪 or extra milks if we spilled ours 😂 ❤️
Yes I definitely remember having corn every time with pizza back in '69 thru '72...thanks so much for this recipe, I cant wait to try it.
Oh I love these lunch lady recipes! I have a lot of flour and yeast to use up so I can make my own dough and sauce. Thanks Miss Lori. I hope you and Mr Brown are well. God bless! 😊🙏❤️
Pizza was always served on Friday at the school where I taught. My students loved it!
Thank you! Love pizza and ready to go back in time too ☺️
I'm a little late seeing this. Thank you for sharing it. I love listening to you and Mr.Brown laugh and carry on. Next time my brothers and sister come visit momma, I am going to make this and serve it with corn and brownies! It will be a hoot!!😂 I love y'all. You're such a blessing.
Lori. Great idea 👍🏼😊
My son made this for dinner tonight. It was exactly the way I remember it right down to the smell that filled the house. Comfort food all the way .
Thanks for inviting me
I like Mr Brown's honesty, he's so funny. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Ms Lori, it looks scrumptious and just like the lunchroom pizzas.
You are so right about they served it with 🌽 and a delicious 🍪. Thank you for this recipe.
You two are so cute! And you are right, always had corn with pizza in school. lol Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for this! I never liked school lunch, I always brought my lunch. My husband loved school pizza and spaghetti. His Mama was a lunch lady for over 25 years and she gifted me the pans that you are using (huge one and this size) when we got married! Still have them and cook on almost every day 😁 She gave the daughter in laws a set when we married her son's LOL. Mine are over 20 years old and still goin strong! Thanks for this memory ❤️
I think Lori needs to meet up with Mimma Joyce on UA-cam. She has the same background and did a video on schoolhouse spaghetti. Yep. They’re my two favorite.
I ate lunch room pizza, chili, sausage gravy over mashed potatoes, and the most incredible cinnamon rolls, I went to grade school in the 60's. This brings back wonderful memories of sweet ladies,
$.25 lunches and a happiness of my small town life growing up. I will make this pizza for hubby & me. I feel bad that my children didn't experience this, thank you😊.
@@vickip54 Mama Joyce has ( since your comment ) passed away.😥, her son Marshall Wood continues with his cooking show. Mama Joyce was such a delight, too. Yes, it would have been great for Mrs. Brown to meet Mama Joyce.
Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown,
You two are adorable! I have looked online for this pizza, for recipes, and I nearly thought of working in the lunchroom to get it! This pizza was soooo good and my all time favorite. Nothing like craving something from school years but here we are 😁 Thank you for this! I can't wait to make this at home! 😍 🍕🍕
I remember when I worked in the school cafeteria we always had corn and peaches with pizza.
We had salad too
Same
Do you know what I am talking about when I refer to school lunchroom's cheese rollups?
I worked in our School Cafeteria too. Cleaning the dishes. Lol.
@@jamiecee4960 So did I, then worked my way up in the kitchen :-)
I LOVE that you were a lunchroom lady for 16 years!!! I didn’t know that! I’m sure the kids loved you!!!💖. Many thanks for all your wonderful, yummy recipes. Sending hugs, much love and gratitude.☺️
I have watched this episode several times. Everytime it makes so hungry for pizza! Looks so good! And I don't even like pepperoni! LOL! Reminds me of elementary school in the 1960s!
School pizza really has always been different. I still remember it after not having it for 36 years. I still don't know if it actually tasted better or if pizza day was just a good day, but I really liked that stuff.
I loved square pizza every Friday in elementary school lol
Oh that looks good, and I just loved the end with you two playing and reminiscing :-)
It’s so sweet how he loves her. Thank you for the recipe. You two are so cute. ❤️
Miss Lori and Mr. Brown God bless you both! I'm a lunch lady, have been for the past 12 years and love it! One of the other lunch ladies I work with highly recommend your channel and I'm so very grateful. The pizza and cinnamon rolls are on my list! Thanks for sharing and your beautiful spirit. ❤
Hi, Lori! I’m definitely going to try this! You make everything look so “do-able.” I just love your sweet voice and how calm you always are. I’ve watched so many of your videos and you’ve shared so much of your personal life with us that I feel like I actually know you. I just wanted to tell you that I fixed your fried cabbage and fried sweet potatoes with pork chops and a side of applesauce last night. Thank you! ❤️ Both of your dishes got a strong thumbs up and are now on cards in my recipe box.
Thank you, and that supper sounds so good!!
I need to watch that fried cabbage video. I always fry mine in real butter.
Oh I loved this pizza when I was in grade school... exactly like she said with corn and a brownie! ❤️. I love the roast chicken meals with the mashed potatoes too. If I could rewind time.
Growing up in Southern Missouri in the 60’s we never had pizza for lunch at school. Never heard of it until my Momma bought the Chef Boy Ardee Pizza mix. Still love that pizza mix.
I grew up on Chef Boyardee pizza. My mom made it a couple times a month with sausage, onion, peppers, mushrooms, and green olives. She would make 3-4 pizzas for our family of 8 and the leftovers we had cold the next morning for breakfast. In watching this video I was thinking it looked like Chef Boyardee and sent the video to my son and daughter and they had the same response. "We need to try this!". Thank you so much for this recipe Miss Lori. I was also wondering if you had a recipe for lunch ladies chocolate chip cookies. I loved the cookies they had at school but can't find a recipe. They were always taken out early so they stayed chewy. I crave those cookies and haven't been able to find an appropriate recipe. I am from Central New York and would greatly appreciate any help in finding this cookie recipe.
I miss it ! I grew up so fast I didn’t appreciate it back then but I find my self living in a big city searching for thing thats always kept me going so I find myself researching the lunch lady’s pizza recipe you ladies made our childhood special!
You bring back so many fond memories when lunch was wonderful. I wish the kids today had the same great homemade food. You are such a treasure
Yum looks just like lunchroom pizza. I loved the lunchroom food they don’t have that anymore. It was delicious.
Pizza day was one of my favorite lunches at school. My other favorite was when we had Brown Bean Chowder. They always served cinnamon rolls that day.
I can’t remember if we had corn with our pizza at school, but when my kids were growing up I always served green beans and apple sauce with pizza. It didn’t matter if it was homemade, frozen or takeout, LOL. I thought my kids needed the fruit and veg. 🥰
My mother always serve corn along side of cheese pizza during Lent. Now I know where she must have gotten the combination from...she was a teacher.
Thank you for another great recipe.
I graduated in 1989 and I still sooo miss the school pizzas...every Thursday. I'd always bring extra money on Thursdays to tank up on the school pizzas. Now I'll make my own! Thanks for the video Lunch Lady!!
You two are the sweetest couple! I am as old as you are now, but I wish I had you for my momma!
There used to be a gas station that served the school pizza and would sell it by the slice or pan. It’s been years since they closed and I’ve sure missed it. Also, I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, but every single thing about your kitchen is my literal dream kitchen. It is so beautiful!
Thank you lorrie! Xoxoxo
Totally agree on the dream kitchen! So cozy, perfect pantry, and love the double fridges. ❤️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is obsessed with this kitchen! I spend so much time trying to see the kitchen that I have to watch the video a second time to see what's cooking! It seems like it is always changing and I can't keep up. I think that gorgeous black floral print that was over the kitchen sink is gone and I just loved that. Nevertheless, I wish my kitchen looked like this.
Sharyn, I do the same thing! I always spend the first time watching the video just to get glimpses of the kitchen and watch again for the recipes, lol. I’ve even paused and taken screenshots for reference of things I’d love to do to my kitchen in the immediate future. We are in the process of gutting and remodeling our new house and I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from Mrs Brown. I’m having a custom bar built with the same corrugated metal panels as trim that are on her ceiling right now.
@@LorrieB330 Wow, that's impressive! I wish she would just do a slow tour of the whole kitchen. I have very modern decor, but not in the kitchen. I just love old-fashioned, vintage kitchens. At one point I thought I saw a quilt on Miss Lori's table and I thought what a fabulous idea, it was so inviting. I'm trying to emulate that on my table, unsuccessfully though because it is round. I have also noticed she has some Pioneer Woman accessories so I had to go and buy some of those and I love them! I bet Miss Lori never thought when she started her channel, of which I am new to, that people would want to copy her and Mr. Brown's ideas. They definitely think outside of the box!
I have not eaten school cafeteria pizza in about 17 years but I still remember how it taste. Something about rectangle pizza with little square bits of pepperoni tastes like no other pizza. The closest I’ve found is those little Totinos pizzas, but even then the taste is still a little off from the ones they served at school.
The sides were corn, school salad with ranch and canned peaches
I’m gonna try this recipe soon, thank you for posting this!❤️
Thanks 🙏🏻🤗❤️ to all the cafeteria ladies who worked all morning to give us a good lunch. I loved everything because at home we didn’t have much variety for dinner. Even the fish sticks😂
🙏🏼♥️
Awww. This is beautiful Mes. Brown. Thank you for these wonderful original al lunchroom recipes!❤❤❤❤❤
How awesome i was born in the 80s went to school in the 90s. They always had pizza like that with corn and a treat awesome video
Ahhhh yessss! School pizza... rectangle like you just made... NOT "stop sign" pizza they eventually replaced the GOOD stuff with.😖
I'll never understand why they mess with stuff that people are happy with. Oh well... for me that was almost 120 years ago, so.... no more whining!!🤭
I have just one more comment yo make, before I go try my hand at making school pizza...
Mr Brown has GOT to be the most handsome, adorable & sweetest man on UA-cam!! And THEN... add in a great sense of humor & THE most adorable, impish smile & welllll.... ya got yourself a HANDFUL!!
The BEST part for me (all kidding aside) is his obvious affection for MS Lori. It shows in the things he does for her around home, (not the least of which is that pantry), the way he looks at her when she's talking, just any number of things that show how he feels about her even after a lot of years together.
You guys are just sweet, down to earth people that I so enjoy watching. Keep up the good work, be good to each other, stay happy & healthy & have a bumper crop for the rest of this season! God bless!!🙏
In the 90's our lunchroom replaced trays with all styrofoam. What a travesty!
You made me smile with this video - and made me hungry! As a schoolboy, I remember balking at the cafeteria pizza because it didn’t look like what we got at the pizzerias of the period (Shakey’s, Pizza Hut, Pizza Haven, etc.). But I ate it, by gosh. After a while I realized that I actually liked it quite well and looked forward to he days it was served. What I learned and appreciated later, is that there are all sorts of pizzas and that most were satisfying, depending on the mood of my palate. Sometimes Red Baron hits the spot just fine; other times bring on the fancy schmancy stuff. These days, this lunch lady pizza isn’t an available option. Until this video. Thanks! There’s one other dish that no one did like the lunch lady: chicken fried steak. One day I hope to experience that again.
Looks yummy. Since it's been over 55 years since I was in high school, I don't remember the pizza. But I'm sure we had it. Everything then was still homemade. The thing I remember everyone fighting for was the chocolate Fudge pie! O M G! It was amazing. School lunch memories are wonderful. By the way, the sugar in the recipe is to "feed" the yeast. It helps it bloom. Love your videos. You and Mr Brown are precious. 😊
I know it made me want lunch room pizza . My dad when we were kids on Friday night use to make us two chef boyarde pizzas . Oh , the good ole days. Thanks 🍕
I just made this for our supper and we loved it! My hubby said it was very good. I put chopped pepperoni, chopped dried tomatoes and my home canned pork sausage on it. Thank you for sharing!
I remember school lunches as being sooo good. Especially the yeast rolls. Loved the soup and toasted peanut butter or pimento cheese sandwiches. Even in high school they had good food. Now days the food is awful. Prepackaged warmed up. I have gone to eat with my grandchildren and after the first time I started taking my lunch. They take theirs too! Miss those days.
@Phyllis...I just added the same comment. School lunches for me children were processed crap. And sadly those were only "good" meals some children had.
Thank YOU Miss Lori, I have so longed for this. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU🤗🤗🤗🤗
Pizza slice filled the largest section, corn was in another section, fruit cup or brownie in the other section and milk in the final section.
Yeah the corn and you need to wash it down with a chocolate milk.
😋😋🥰🥰😍
An see what your doing ms Lori...
2 cartons!
Yes! My friend and I were just talking about corn and chocolate milk!
Yes to chocolate milk. I remember when a carton of milk was 10¢ and chocolate was 12¢
Ohhhhh the nostalgia!!!!!!! Cant wait to recreate that school pizza flavor thank you for taking the time to make this video
How I miss Lunchroom Pizza!!!! We used to have some of the best meals in grade school!
I love seeing ya’ll laugh together...
this looked so good. Pizza was literally the best part about school lunch!
I sure needed this today! School lunch pizza is still my favorite pizza and I'm nearly fifty. 😂 I'll be making it for dinner tonight, miss Lori, I thank you so much!!!! I have everything except the mozzarella, and I'm headed to the store now. ♥️♥️♥️
Save me a piece next round🤞🏽
The camera wasn’t on what you were doing, it was on your face the whole time so I couldn’t see what you were foing
Miss Lori, we know how busy y’all are but when are you going to bring out a cookbook? I don’t have many but I’d be the first to buy one!😀
I'm working on it, probably after Christmas, xoxoxo
@@WhippoorwillHoller Im really anxious for this!!
Me too! Times are getting tough for folks and I want to be able to make large batches to share with neighbors.
