    I grew up with homemade mac n cheese, but my wife only knew the boxed stuff. First time I made it homemade for my wife, she didnt like. I made it a second time but added yellow colouring and told her it was a "Deluxe" boxed version. She loves it. I eventually showed her how I was actually making it and her mind was blown.
    (Note: we still keep a few boxes on hand because she makes it for herself occasionally. LOL)

    @KathleenCalhoun-em6ys Рік тому +1

    Crock pot meals were very popular and microwaves weren't in too much use until the late 70's because when they came out, they were very expensive. You made Crock Pot meals from scratch ingredients back then and not with packaged mixes like you do now. Bundt cakes became popular in the mid-70's, and TV dinners were more readily available back then, and there wasn't too much interest in pizza like there is today so you didn't see anything more than a couple different companies selling frozen pizza. Granola for breakfast became a fad and was popular for awhile, with some people making their own recipe for it to save money. Poke cake was called Jello cake, and that became popular in the late 1960's and continued through the 1970's. There was still a lot of junk food out there, but in the 70's the public became more aware of the nutritional value of foods and that spawned a trend of eating healthier foods and health stores popping up. You didn't mention any of those things. By the way, Mac and cheese isn't a 70's food. What the 1970's did was put it in a box whereas it used to be made it from scratch before.

One of these days I'm going to have to try a sloppy joe somebody else makes because when my mom made them she always felt the need to add chopped celery and red kidney beans to the mix for some reason! What I got introduced to in the 70s when my brother first got married was homemade Chex Party Mix my sis-in-law made! The good kind with quality mixed nuts and a somewhat buttery taste to it, unlike the dry store bought kind!
