Coconut cream pie , my favorite. My wonderful mother in law made one especially for me at Thanksgiving, the first time I was pregnant and I ate the whole thing by myself!
My mother's coworkers were always trying new recipes from magazines. The ladies took pride in making a tasty dessert or salad to share. They put copies of the recipes by the dish. It was a more sociable time in the workplace back then.
20 yrs ago we used to have pot lucks at work every friday. That was our way of trying out new recipes. Back then we had like 20 women per shift, unlike the 7 we have now. So a pot luck is rare.
@@brat46 The women would bring in one dish for the office to sample. It was not a potluck, so it could be done with seven people. There were around that many in my mother's office.
We did that too. We would have potlucks a couple of times a year. Took me totally by surprise when I found out that it's really a cooking competition. I took KFC my first time it didn't exactly go over. It's because of them that I know how to cook now. I learned a lot.
@@ConstantCompanion I don't think it's supposed to be a competition. I think people just like to show off the recipes they're good at but it's kind of cool that it inspired you
lol I still make all of these. Yes, Grandma taught me how to make baked Alaska. Magic cookie bars are funeral bars for us. Lemon meringue is a fav Cinnamon streusel cake (coffee cake) I make for everyone’s birthday and I’ve made it for weddings. Pineapple upside down is Father’s day cake Prickly pear sorbet and prickly pear jam is a family favorite Black Forest cake does take time but it’s so worth it Chiffon & Angel food cakes are summer goodies Apple dumplings are fall yummies I make when apple trees are harvested I take cobbler anywhere and people are waiting for it. Tx sheet cake is youth group dessert. Just taught granddaughters how to make it. I still make all of these.
I love great recipes and cookbooks. I have been collecting cookbooks since I was 10 years old…so for 67 years! I have thousands of cookbooks and the oldest is from 1888. My sweet mom gave me my first cookbook in 1957…it is the Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls…and I still have it. I miss you, Momma………soon, I will be with you again.
So many of these desserts are still favorites in my corner of the world, Alabama USA. I made many of these desserts for my family during the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s. You will still find them at family gatherings and church socials.
Yeah. I think we all have. And I live in california. The one that I remember thinking was really fancy was fried ice cream. I've never tried to make that
My grandmother never had cakes on her table . However, I was lucky enough to have a friend who’s mother would always have 2-3 cakes on the table. Thank you Mrs. Griffin for always being there.❤️❤️❤️
2024 and all 6 of my siblings, plus myself, make angel food cakes from scratch multiple times a year. I have made 6 or 7 baked Alaska over the last decade. You talked about chocolate haystacks, but then showed somebody making chocolate no-bake cookies. Now, the actual haystacks, I still make every Christmas.
Does anyone remember our mom’s making cakes for a cake walk at school events. The walk would always be on stage, kind of like musical chairs. If you win, you get to pick a cake to rake home. I’ll never forget winning one time and taking home a cake covered in coconut. So good! As I got older the notion of eating food not cooked in our kitchen, messed it up for me.
I still make pineapple upside down cake frequently!! If my kiddos are headed back home to Abilene, Texas for a visit, they request that cake, my pinto beans, and cornbread !! lol!
I miss my mom, daddy and my oldest son…..someday I will be with you all again………and my oldest granddaughter although I didn’t get to cook for her very much since she didn’t live close.
Key Lime pie is NOT forgotten! It's still Florida's official state pie. Any good Florida seafood restaurant needs to serve it. It goes well after a fishy or garlicy meal.
We used to sit on top of the hand crank ice cream maker to steady it as my dad cranked the handle. He did a strawberry banana. I made a good chocolate espresso ice cream.
@@nancycurtis488 We jokingly fought over who was going to get mom’s cast iron skillet. There were so many memories with that skillet and all the yummy things mom taught us to make. We all wanted it to go to my older sister that does all the baking and hosts family events. She’s making memories with her grandkids now. I can’t believe I forgot about that skillet until I saw your post. ❤️❤️❤️
In east Texas, all of these desserts are still made and shared because there is nothing wrong with having a fantastic dessert once in a while as long as you don’t over-do…..right?…….RIGHT!
This brought back memories! My grandma was a great cook and made cakes often. No one made better! She mixed it up so every time it was a yummy new cake.
The first time I had Bananas Foster was in 1968 at Brennen’s Restaurant in New Orleans……..had to make it myself after that…..yum. And Lemon Meringue Pie is WONDERFUL!
@@gdd2452 of course... but wouldn't the channel be more interesting if they did? Maybe they wouldn't have a video every day but they probably have more viewers
I don't cook desserts to stay away from sugar, fat and weight gain. I eat dessert once per month, Holidays and Birthday parties. I take my health seriously. But these recipes are tempting. Easy to made coming from beautiful Grandma 😂😂😂
Dude, Bananas Foster was invented right here in New Orleans at Brennan's Restaurant on Royal St. Grandmas didn't invent it, and I haven't ever seen a grandma make this? It's always done tableside at Brennans by one of the wait staff, it's still very popular as I type!!
@@crazykindalove1478 A grasshopper pie is named after the "Grasshopper" drink: clear Creme de Cacao, green Creme de Menthe, shaken with cream and ice cubes, then strained into a lowball glass. The pie is made with meringue, whipped cream, Creme de Cacao and green Creme de Menthe, with a crust of crushed Oreos. It is a pale green.
Okay I really enjoyed this listing of desserts. As a baker I like to experiment with desserts I never made. I have to say, some of the facts, recipes and pronunciations were off on some of the desserts. The blooper on Blueberry pie coming from the 1970’s was so ridiculous! Some of these so called forgotten desserts as he said are still popular like Pineapple Upside down cake ( I make a lot and is always loved), lemon bars, Mississippi mud pie, Lemon meringue, all fruit pies, Black Forest cake, brownies and blondies, chocolate cakes..and many more he mentioned are still being made today even in restaurants!!!! I don’t think he mentioned North Carolina Lemon pie (or Atlantic pie) which I just made the other day and is fabulous. I am sure there a lot of desserts he missed. The Peach Melba and Bananas Foster were interesting to learn about as well as a few others. I think his Hummingbird cake recipe was a bit off too. I have researched that one in the past and made it. He also missed the Apple cake made in a tube pan (Jewish origin?) and Kentucky butter or whiskey cakes too!!!
The same thought was going through my mind as I was watching this. And yes, there are some pronunciation issues here, not sure why, some of the words are common names.
I hope you don't eat it as often as we did - all those hydrogenated veg oils contribute to metabolic syndrome. What a mess. If my mom knew what we finally have recently learned, she never would have baked or prepared desserts with it.
It's "Bananas Foster." I still see blondie brownies here and there. It's funny that they keep explaining how many of these went away because of health reasons. There are more processed foods around now than ever, chemicals are in almost everything, and sugar is in 73% of the items in the supermarket (not even in just desserts). Grandma's recipes were healthier.
I made Baked Alaska back in the day. And I made Plum Pudding back in the day. Thanksgiving? It's a Christmas dessert from as far back as the Middle Ages in England.
The footage you showed of the chocolate haystacks didn't include the chow mein sticks. The recipe that was made in the video was called oatmeal delights in my cookbook 😉
We love prickly pear. Very popular in southern Italy & Sicily. So unique & Delicious. However they are considered a noxious plant in Australia where I now live & therefore are prohibited to grow & incur very heavy fines if you grow them in your garden.
Yeah, I lived in San Antonio for about a year, I remember seeing some on the way further south. So I had to laugh when he said they grow in South America and then went on to say that's why they're so popular in Mexico. 🤣
My mother used to make lemon meringue pie every Sunday. She also would make coffee cake for Sunday mornings. After she died, my sister got the recipe and I swear she left out one ingredient because I can't get the cake part to rise! She says she gave me the whole recipe. Really?
I still make the magic cake cookie bars every year. my mom called them 7 layer cake. Im making them again this year with my traditional peanut butter balls ,
CRESCENT ROLL ITALIANO 1 lb. ground chuck 1/2 c. chopped onion 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1/2 c. sour cream 1/4 tsp. basil 1/4 tsp. oregano 1/2 or 1 c. grated Cheddar cheese Brown ground beef and onion. Drain fat. Add tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Place in 8 x 12 inch dish. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over meat mixture. Mix together the sour cream, basil and oregano. Spread in open crescent rolls. Roll them up and place on top of cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Hey everybody I learned how to make this in home-ec in 1979. Still make this. It’s easy. Just separate out the triangles on them crescent rolls. Spread the sour cream mixture on them and roll them up. I make it in a 9 x 13 pan. Let me know if you made it and if you liked it. I spray the pan so the food does not stick
I dont know where you are but in Georgia USA as soon as the peach harvest comes in we eat peach cobbler constantly and most restaurants have the dessert on the menu!
Chocolate Haystacks remind me of something my mom made when I was growing up. She made chocolate Wheaties cookies. Sounds gross but they were actually pretty good. Just Wheaties cereal mixed with melted chocolate.
@@indominusdragonlee1805 That's right, typically today it's baked with Neapolitan ice cream under all that meringue. My mom made it once for a special occasion, it turned out pretty well but she only did it the once as it was too much work back then. Apparently, at Delmonico's where the recipe was first invented back in the late 1800's, they used walnut cake and banana ice cream, and still make it that way today. I can't imagine that at all, am not a fan of banana ice cream.
