I grew up in the 50's as well. We were similar in our meals. We almost always had Spaghetti on Wednesday, Pot Roast on Thursday, Fried chicken on Sunday. Monday, Tuesday and Friday were toss ups though Friday was often fish though we were not Catholic. We had fried pork chops ( my Mom's favorite), baked chicken (mostly Monday), Pork roast, rarely lamb, hamburgers, canned salmon, Beef and noodles (my Dad's favorite) pork ribs rarely, and so on. We had fried potatoes 3 times per week, mashed, scalloped, boiled or something every meal. We used bacon fat for everything, we kept it in a can on the stove, until I was a teenager when my mom decided it was bad. I had a great childhood menu! My mother saw that we tasted lobster, crab, deer, pheasant, pomegranates, mangos, papaya, and many exotic foods of the time. We lived in northern Ohio (she was a product of a Kentucky farm) things like that were not common in her or our realm. Sorry for the history lesson. Thanks for the video.
I remember when dad would slice the canned corned beef and fry the slices and we would have it with eggs over easy for dinner and an English muffin. It was a quick and economical meal. In the heat of summer dad would peel and core bartlet pears and fill the inside with cream cheese, put them back together and wrap each pear tightly with foil and leave in the frig for an hour until it was really cold and so good on a hot day after dinner. Thanks for the memories!
Lynne Williams - my mom did the same with spam as an occasional substitute fir breakfast sausage... i think i'm gonna buy some spam for breakfast this weekend.
Tickles me to think that i often bragg to my wife after fixing many of our meals... that my dad often told me after mom passed during my sophomore year & i had taken up all the cooking... Son, your sure gonna make some woman happy, when you get married! Good thing too because my wife was kept so busy thinning weeds in the beet fields on her folks Idaho homestead, that she never really had the time to pick up on much cooking. Thank's for stirring the cooking memories of the fifty's & on up to our present day. May God Bless & keep you, yours, & those esteeming video endeavors. 62417
I find the older I get the more I want food I grew up on. I am 74 now and have started cooking like my mother and Granny made. Thank you so much for the video and recipes. You are making many very nostalgic and well fed with items one has on hand not 10 plus things you will probably never use again an cost a lot of money that many seniors do not have.
Miss Phyllis I have watched your videos your UA-cam it is your cooking is amazing you're fighting with the an illness as well as I am I've done done the cancer back in the nineties now I'm for stage kidney disease but I love watching you just in your kitchen it reminds me so much of my mother and you cook like I cook southern make everything you can go and I would love to know where I can get one of your cookbooks and I will be praying for you that everything works out for you well God's going to give you a blessing and I just love you and I just want to let you know that
Still loving your 50's videos...and your stories as well. I just found a 'Fabulous 50's Recipe Collection cookbook which I'm loving with its great photos..but your videos are better! Miss you two!
I was born in 1959, but I have such a fascination with the 50s. I'm always asking my parents alot of questions about the 50s. I enjoy your cooking videos. Thanks for posting!
just found your channel. Are you sure you didn't grow up with Us? We too had milk in winter and ice tea in summer and desert every night. On hot nights in the city we put the kitchen table and chairs on the screen porch to eat. you are bringing back some great memories with your videos. Thank you!
I'm Portuguese so although my grandmother never made the same meals as your mother did, watching you cook such loving home cooked meals reminds me so much of my childhood. Thanks for your wonderful videos, Phyllis!
My mum used to put the corned beef in the meat grinder along with cooked potato 'chunks' and, of course a coarsly chopped onion. Voila, corned beef hash!! Love your old recipes and so glad you paid attention to what your mum was cooking. Our nudge to have a tasty, yet simple, balanced meal. Thank you Phyllis, your friend from New Hampshire 👵🏻🤗🌺
Mrs Phyllis..... My mom use to take left over roast or steaks and grind them in a meat grinder. Then would grate up a onion and a raw, peeled potato for each of us who were going to eat. Then she pulled out her big 15" cast iron skillet put about a quarter cup of bacon grease or lard, and fried it crispy, adding a little bit of water to it and steamed it for a few minutes just to make sure the potatoes were done. Then put raw cider vinegar, salt and pepper on it. Stirred and served! Omg, it was and still is my favorite meal. Tastes wonderful withthe vinegar.
I just came across your channel and may I say what a delight it is. I am a fan of all things 1950s especially all the wonderful cooking. Thank you for sharing your mother's cooking with us.
When I was a kid my mom would get left over boiled potatoes, diced onion and mix it in with hash and cook it until it was crisp around the edges. It was always so delicious! As a topper we each had a sunny side egg on top! Yummy!
Mr. Bucky has made the corned beef hash along with the eggs when it was his turn to cook breakfast at the beach. Our family loved this breakfast. Thanks for your comment. I agree delicious!
oh my goodness I love this. My grandmother was an amazing cook but naturally she did not have any recipes. So anytime I can find things like this it just warms my heart. Thank you so much!
Hi Phyllis. Love your videos so much...I didn't know if you have ever watched a utube channel called Great Depression Cooking or not but it is such a great channel and lots of wonderful cooking from an adorable ninety year old woman who shares all her stories from the great depression while cooking.
Phyllis I love all your videos. You remind me of my grandma and momma who is incidentally named Phyllis. Thank you for being so down to earth and detailed. Love it!
I do a dish that Grandma taught me with corn beef and asparagus. When I was a kid, spring was always the time when we would go through all the country roads and find asparagus. Lovely memories! Love you.
the MOST wonderful thing about food, is all the great memories around it!! I always get teary when I make bread, as I remember my mom and my grandma in the kitchen making it all the time...these things need to be passed forward, so thank you for them!! =)
Love the idea of recreating meals like out mothers used to make. Nice to see you keeping the good memories of your mother while showing us how to make tasty food that is quick and reasonably priced. Keep it up.
Aww, you have a masher similar to what I have from my grandmother's estate. I think of all the lovely reminders I have of her, the potato masher is my most treasured reminder of her isn't that silly? That simple tool contributed to so many wonderful family meals and I know it was in her dear hand and is a real treasure to me. Lovely to see you using one so similar.
Looks good! My mother always cooked the corn beef with the cabbage and also added the butter with the mashed potatoes before she added pet canned milk. So I grew up with something similar, but not quite the same.
This sure brings back the memories,only we would have corn one night,limas the next night save the leftovers to make succotash.In the winter leftover vegetables was used for soup.Thx for sharing Phyllis
Love your family meal, it's looks good. My Granny cooked cabbage and quartered potatoes and at the end put the corned beef on top to warm and we had cornbread. Brings back so many memories.
Hi Miss Phyliss, although I enjoy all your videos I really really love these 50's meals. I especially enjoy how you tell us about mom and dad while you are cooking. like how your daddy allowed ice tea in summer but always milk during school time. Thank you for making these great videos for us all to enjoy.
Phyllis, this is so interesting. I grew up in the 1970's but I remember eating some of the same things you are making. I bet you have so many great memories of your time growing up. Thank you for sharing them with us.-----Tressa Daigle
Succotash for us was lima beans, corn and tomatoes. I think canned corned beef used to be Armour or Hormel. I have not seen Libby's before, My Mom used to slice it and put on a piece of toasted bread with 1000 island dressing, sauerkraut and topped with a slice of Swiss cheese served open faced for Saturday lunch
Your Mother knew how to make a delicious sandwich. I think succotash was very regional, folks used whatever was harvested from their gardens. Lots of succotash recipes in the South contained okra. When I was young I always thought succotash was a dish invented by the Indians.
for the indians, succotash was corn, beans and pumpkin. growing up in new england for us it was corn and lima beans. i've been thinking about it a lot lately wishing i could have some.. haha!
I grew up in New Orleans. I was often fed ground beef burgers,mashed potatoes,string beans,like that. The high school food was the worst I can remember,they tried to make poor boy sandwiches (french bread was always good) but the beef was like leather.Of course,if you had some pocket money,New Orleans eateries were cheap and plentiful...and good. Well we are all still alive : )
Chipped beef was always made with cheap hamburger. The first time I saw dried beef in a jar, I laughed! It was pretty expensive. I called my mom up and told her, and she said that rich folks like S*** on a Shingle, too.
My mom was saying the other day that there weren't as many additives to the food back then either. I LOVE cabbage! My mom used whatever potatoes were ready in the garden! Thanks for the memories👍
Hi Miss Phillis, I just started watching your videos, and I just can't stop watching them. I just love you!!!! And I love all your recipes. Iam surely going to try making the breads and fried biscuits. Keep making those videos. Sharon from Delaware,
i still make a couple of my mothers dinners, mostly meat loaf and stew. she also cooked from scratch. she made a fresh salad and veggies every night but no white rice. everything was boiled unlike now. she used cast iron skillets, griddle and dutch oven along with her revere ware pots. two of my favorite side dishes: stewed tomatoes and stale chunks heated on the stovetop and canned pear halves drained, plated, add a dollop of best foods mayo onto each half and top with shredded cheddar cheese. YUM! I loved her pork chops they brown so perfectly in the cast iron skillet, served with a salad, canned spinach and applesauce. like you we made biscuits but mostly just wrapped up a few pieces of white bread in a cloth napkin, placed on the table. my moms spaghetti from scratch was very good, she even used wine and simmered it two hours. in the sixties she started making tacos and sloppy joes too for us kids. i still use those premade crunchy taco shells like she did.
I have to have canned spinach & hard boiled egg with pork chops or pork roast & mashed pot & gravy, the meal is not complete for me without the spinach.
Rhonna Marsden how did your family cook veggies? I'm trying to stay away from rice and I want to eat more vegetables but I can't think of any good things to do with it (besides a salad, sometimes I want something different)... I hope you respond bc I'm totally serious haha. I really want to know what else to do with vegetables (the old fashioned way I guess)
New subscriber here, I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I'm learning a lot, and you've given me some great new meal ideas. Brings back memories of watching my grandmothers cook!
Thank you for posting your mom's meals from the 50's. These videos are really interesting. I've often wondered how people adapted their meals according to the season before fresh produce was available year round and what meals looked like before the galloping gourmet and Julia Child were on tv. Please post more, I love them!
Really enjoying your videos. Just found you. You have a very calming voice and a kind face, plus, my mom made stuff like you cook.. so naturally, so do I. Thanks, Phyliis...
This looks real tasty and very quick to make! Im 60 and my Mom always made a hash out of this with fried onions and leftover potatoes diced up ! So good!
Those pears bring back a lot of memories for me! I grew up in the late '80s and early '90s and Del Monte's canned pear halves, peach halves and fruit cocktail were dessert staples when I was a child. Sometimes served with ice cream if we were lucky.
Hi, my mom came from a family of 8 ! 6 children and 2 adults. My grandmother use to make some of these foods for me. You make me hungry every time! I can smell it!
My mother still has her Presto pressure cooker and it's the same one we grew up with. It's at least 50 years old and it still works. It holds less than a gallon. Amazing.
You know I am getting hungry. Nice old fashion easy type meal. I am glad Phyllis is still on here , she had the most calm and likable personality , one felt like they new her personally .
THANK YOU SO MUCH PHYLLIS, I JUST FOUND YOUR PAGE AND I'M SO GRATEFUL I START DOING YOUR SMOOTHIES EVERY MORNING AND FEELING HEALTHIER. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS EVERY DAY, YOUR RECIPES ARE WONDERFUL AND EASY. I FEEL LIKE I'M PART OF YOUR FAMILY. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION. THANK YOU AGAIN TO SHARE YOUR LIFE WITH US, I DON'T FEEL ALONG ANY MORE.
My mother always used a little bacon grease in green beans, cabbage, and cooked greens. She used to make a salad with a hot bacon vinaigrette dressing. She never used a recipe for that, and I wish I'd paid closer attention when she made it. My dad threw out her old cast iron skillet (!!!!) when she passed away. I had to buy my own cast iron, but I love it, and I use it every day. Your mom's old recipes remind me of the ones my mom used to make. Thank you for sharing them!
Wow...I really enjoyed this video. I also grew up in the 1950's...I would not change one thing about it...my mom loved her pressure cooker and used it all the time. Thanks for sharing ...I am a new sub...

I miss watching her. Her voice is so soothing.
Love listening to her tell her stories ❤
Love the 1950's food series. Remindes me of my grandmother's meals.

Thanks for a trip down memory lane.

Hi Phyllis.

Love these videos. A much simpler wholesome time period indeed.
Sometimes the simplest foods are the best!
This brings back wonderful memories of when I was a child and life was fun and simple. Thank you for doing this.😀 I just subscribed.😍
Love the idea of recreating meals like out mothers used to make. Nice to see you keeping the good memories of your mother while showing us how to make tasty food that is quick and reasonably priced. Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing your mother's recipes and your memories. Dinner looks AMAZING!
Enjoyed this. We must have had the corned beef in the 50's, because I can definitely remember that key messing up!
Aww, you have a masher similar to what I have from my grandmother's estate. I think of all the lovely reminders I have of her, the potato masher is my most treasured reminder of her isn't that silly? That simple tool contributed to so many wonderful family meals and I know it was in her dear hand and is a real treasure to me. Lovely to see you using one so similar.
I came across your video and thought it was amazing how you recreated family meals from the 50’s! I do the same from my mom!
Looks good! My mother always cooked the corn beef with the cabbage and also added the butter with the mashed potatoes before she added pet canned milk. So I grew up with something similar, but not quite the same.
thank you so much. you make me feel closer to my own grand mother. spent many a day snaping beans and shucking corn with her!
This sure brings back the memories,only we would have corn one night,limas the next night save the leftovers to make succotash.In the winter leftover vegetables was used for soup.Thx for sharing Phyllis
Momma's meals always made with love! ❤️
It really looks great and brings back memories of my grandma's house and cooking. Thank you😊!
Great video. Brings back memories of my mom cooking for a big family.
Wow looks so good. My mom gave me a old fashioned 1950's cookbook and I intend on using it and recreate those old good looking recipes.
Love your family meal, it's looks good. My Granny cooked cabbage and quartered potatoes and at the end put the corned beef on top to warm and we had cornbread. Brings back so many memories.
love your vids! MY grandma raised us on food just like this when we stayed at her house or if she kept us. AMAZING MEMORIES! THANKS!!!
I have become one of your newest fans! Thank you for sharing your moms recipes and stories.
Hi Miss Phyliss, although I enjoy all your videos I really really love these 50's meals.

When we find lumps in our mashed potatoes it's the real thing. That way we have to chew instead of just swallowing. Good ole days Phyllis.
Corn beef and cabbage is SO GOOD! We always have that with homemade soda bread for St. Patrick's day :)
My mom was saying the other day that there weren't as many additives to the food back then either. I LOVE cabbage! My mom used whatever potatoes were ready in the garden! Thanks for the memories👍
Hi Miss Phillis, I just started watching your videos, and I just can't stop watching them. I just love you!!!! And I love all your recipes. Iam surely going to try making the breads and fried biscuits. Keep making those videos. Sharon from Delaware,
I'm going to have to try this, I love corned beef and wow I need a can opener like that!
i still make a couple of my mothers dinners, mostly meat loaf and stew. she also cooked from scratch. she made a fresh salad and veggies every night but no white rice. everything was boiled unlike now. she used cast iron skillets, griddle and dutch oven along with her revere ware pots. two of my favorite side dishes: stewed tomatoes and stale chunks heated on the stovetop and canned pear halves drained, plated, add a dollop of best foods mayo onto each half and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

I have to have canned spinach & hard boiled egg with pork chops or pork roast & mashed pot & gravy, the meal is not complete for me without the spinach.

I really enjoyed your video! It's nice to go back in time and see how things used to be and of course it makes me want to taste it too! 😋😊
This looks real tasty and very quick to make! Im 60 and my Mom always made a hash out of this with fried onions and leftover potatoes diced up ! So good!
i love these meals from the fifties
You would rarely see a obese person then.
Those pears bring back a lot of memories for me! I grew up in the late '80s and early '90s and Del Monte's canned pear halves, peach halves and fruit cocktail were dessert staples when I was a child. Sometimes served with ice cream if we were lucky.
That potato masher Phil has is the best in the world. I go around to flee mkts to find them, and I have three now. The best.
Hi, my mom came from a family of 8 ! 6 children and 2 adults. My grandmother use to make some of these foods for me. You make me hungry every time! I can smell it!

When we were kids, our family used to receive surplus army food. Canned everything and our mom made it so it was delicious.
My mother still has her Presto pressure cooker and it's the same one we grew up with. It's at least 50 years old and it still works. It holds less than a gallon. Amazing.
Phyllis, I just recently found your channel and I absolutely love it. You are so calming and have the best recipes.
What a beautiful meal! I've not tried cooking cabbage with a pressure cooker, but what a great idea! Thank you for the post!
Phyllis you are wonderful.
You know I am getting hungry. Nice old fashion easy type meal. I am glad Phyllis is still on here , she had the most calm and likable personality , one felt like they new her personally .
I love your videos. You have a very calming voice and wear your hair pulled back just like my mom did. Thank you for taking the time to share!
THANK YOU SO MUCH PHYLLIS, I JUST FOUND YOUR PAGE AND I'M SO GRATEFUL I START DOING YOUR SMOOTHIES EVERY MORNING AND FEELING HEALTHIER.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS EVERY DAY, YOUR RECIPES ARE WONDERFUL AND EASY. I FEEL LIKE I'M PART OF YOUR FAMILY. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO SHARE YOUR LIFE WITH US, I DON'T FEEL ALONG ANY MORE.
I am delighted to hear you are making the green smoothies.
My mother always used a little bacon grease in green beans, cabbage, and cooked greens. She used to make a salad with a hot bacon vinaigrette dressing. She never used a recipe for that, and I wish I'd paid closer attention when she made it. My dad threw out her old cast iron skillet (!!!!) when she passed away. I had to buy my own cast iron, but I love it, and I use it every day.
Your mom's old recipes remind me of the ones my mom used to make. Thank you for sharing them!
Really cool to see. My grandmother would cook dinners like this. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to learn how to cook from her.
Lovely video sweet Miss Phyllis... you are the loveliest lady on UA-cam XOXO you are so Charming
Wow...I really enjoyed this video. I also grew up in the 1950's...I would not change one thing about it...my mom loved her pressure cooker and used it all the time. Thanks for sharing ...I am a new sub...
