I have to share this with you! My Mother is ill and we are all dealing with her declining health and the changes that go with that. I have been spending every possible free moment with her and we’ve been reminiscing about so much of her life. I went searching for a journal, a book…something that I could use to record these memories. I just searched TODAY! I even have prayed that God would guide me to honor her the best way I can. And then I pulled up utube, and there you are!! ❤️🙏🏻. Thank you for sharing StoryWorth. Now I know how to cherish my Mother’s words in a beautiful way.
Crystal, thank you so much for sharing that with me! I'm sure what you are going through with your family is tough, but I'm glad you are getting some time to hear her stories. Blessings to you both!
My husband really like all kinds of German food. Stroganoff is such a filling hardy meal. Fixed it with ground beef when my children were living at home. Also goulash and sourbrauten. My Electric skillet was a constant pan in my kitchen. Especially for country fried steak, Fried chicken, etc. I think I went through 3 of them over the last 45 years.
My mom had an even older electric frypan than the one you shared. Growing up in the 70s meant she used that several nights a week. We also had blueberry muffins with dinner. Yummy!
My mother got her electric skillet at the Green Stamp store and used it for just about everything. She never made blueberry muffins without using the mix with the can of blueberries. I make muffins from scratch using the Tightwad Gazette formula, so we can have any flavor and it works out great every time.
I was born in 1972 and l remember we had a fondue pot when l was a little girl! It was gold with white flowers on it. I also remember that electric skillet your mom had. My mom still has the one my grandmother used…it’s a Sunbeam! 😁Thank you for sharing these recipes.
I like hearing about you family traditions and what you did when you grew up. It brings back nice memories of the 1980's when I was rasing my babies. My kids used to love a breakfast dinner. I will have to fix your breakfast pizza recipe for my grandchildren. They will love it and they will want to help me make it too. Thanks Mindy. 😊
I grew up with an electric fry pan and I have one still. I grew up eating jiffy blueberry muffins being served with dinner. I did this with my kids and they always loved them.
I still use my electric skillet... they are a joy in thr summer when it's 115° + outside... who wants to heat up the house.. and some things just dont microwave well....
I’ve been using an electric skillet for more years than I care to admit. Momma used one when we were growing up, and someone bought me one when I first moved out and I use it to this day. I even take it camping. For whatever reason, I always make blueberry muffins when we have tuna noodle casserole , along with a salad and veggie. Funny how one combines certain dishes together and it’s always served together from then on out. Loved your recipes today. Definitely trying the stroganoff , strawberry cake and breakfast pizza . Thank you
Great recipes. My dad raised us. He had a lot of simple recipes to feed 4 kids on a shoestring budget. We had the stroganoff with hamburger. He also made the best sub sandwiches by making a mix of tomatoes, pickles, onions and Italian dressing. YUM! Thanks for sharing your mom's recipe.
Bet that cake would be great with regular vanilla cake icing also. Could use the entire packages of cake mix and strawberries to double the cake that way.
I lost my mom 3 years ago this month, I always use my mom's recipes whenever I want to have her here. She had some amazing cheap meals. Thanks for the video.
Mindy, I Loved the nostalgia of this video! My Moms meals still stand out in my memory too and make me think of my childhood. I received an electric skillet similar to that one as a wedding gift in 1986, it was a West Bend brand and I used it until it died and never replaced it.
I make a similar strawberry cake, but slightly different: I bake a strawberry cake mix according to the package directions and let it cool, then poke holes in it and pour the thawed strawberries and juice over it, then top with Cool Whip and more strawberries. Yum!
Oh, my, 5 kids was considered a small family here in Iowa in the 50’s-60’s. My parents had 11 kids-family of 13. Most of the families in our Catholic parish were large. My wonderful Mom was a great cook and tried her best to cook economically.
Another Iowa family...50's & 60's as well. There were 7 kids in our family. Mom had a huge garden & preserved by canning. We also foraged for the wild fruit/ berries and mushrooms to help supplement the grocery budget.
Oh thank you for the muffin idea. I want to make pancakes one day for dinner but my sons dad wants sides. I’ll probably make turkey sausage and eggs but wasn’t sure what else to add. I think muffins were common in our house for dinner sides too.
oh...and we also had breakfast for dinner quite often. My Dad worked night shift and slept during the day. That was breakfast for him. Plus, we had a LOT of chickens, so that was a great way to use up all of those eggs lol
My mother and my grandmother both had an electric skillet. My grandmother used hers until she had to move in with my mother at the age of 95 and as far as I know my mum still uses hers and she's 81 this year.
1. I have my grandmother’s square skillet/fryer with the beige top and it still works. 2. Use a spoon to push along the line of cans that won’t pop open and it helps pop them.
My mom absolutely had an electric frying pan. It was gold. There were only certain things she cooked in it too. Like her fried pork chops and the gravy was always made in that electric frying pan. Then I brought home a recipe for peanut butter fudge, that we made in my 3rd grade classroom, and that was also made in the electric frying pan. This is so nostalgic for me. When I saw the picture you posted I laughed out loud, for real. It looked exactly like my mom’s. Thank you for this memory ❤️
We had blueberry muffins for dinner rather then breakfast too. My parents grew up with eggs and bacon or sausage for breakfast and muffins were a bread option for dinners. (They always had a bread)
When we put my mom into assisted living I was given all her cookbooks and recipe cards, so I often times go through them, it's often times very bittersweet ,mom and to this day myself make a stroganoff with cream of mushroom soup hamburger garlic salt a can of Campbell's beef broth Etc but we put mushrooms in ours I think in the beginning days we use can mushrooms and then it turned into real mushrooms LOL thank you for the memories I always enjoy your Channel my mom will be 100 in a few weeks and I always enjoy remembering all the meals and happy times growing up
My mom had an electric skillet as well. I remember her usually making smothered pork chops or smothered chicken in it. She'd put it over white rice and it was so tasty.
What a fun trip down memory lane. Made me think of my own mother and the kind of recipes we ate back in the 1960s and '70s. We called your skillet an electric frying pan. I think my mother got hers in the '70s when I was a teenager, then someone gave me one when I went away to university and I used that thing almost every night. Whatever happened to them??
Hi Mindy,, OMG you described my mom as well.. Especially the strawberry cake i wanted that at my birthday each year..😀 she cooked the same sort of stuff. She had the same pan but called it her electric frying pan. You brought me bach with this video. THANK YOU!!
My mom used the electric skillet to make chicken & rice for us as kids. I make chicken & rice in my own electric skillet now for my kids 🥰😍 just like she did. I love it!
We still have an electric skillet at our cabin! It heats very quickly and comes in handy since we have no stove or microwave in this quaint little cabin!
Oh I grew up with one of those skillets in the kitchen! Our favorite smoked sausage dish was browned and cooked with sliced cabbage, onions and bell peppers cooked until tender then adding a can of tomatoes and simmer until the liquid is gone. Another thing we used the electric skillet for was to bake in the summer, especially brownies. You could buy rolls of brownie dough packaged like cookie dough. I don't know if I still have the recipe but friends used to make a mandarin orange cake similar to your mom's strawberry cake.
My mom served blueberry muffins (as well as others) with dinner at least weekly and still does sometimes when she has all the grandkids. I think it was totally a 70’s/80’s thing. It makes sense - easy, cheap, and filling. I’m the oldest in my family and I remember my mom always saying having another baby is just another potato in the pot or muffin in the tin, lol. My Mom actually still has her electric skillet pan and gifted each of us girls one a few years ago.
I grew up with one of those skillets and I still have one. I can’t live without one. I use mine almost every day. I’ve gone through several of them in my 17 years of marriage. Obviously the newer versions don’t last as long as what your mom would have had, but they still fry the job done.
Beef stroganoff was my favorite child hood meal! My Mom wasn't much into cooking but she made this so delicious! I definitely remember the Electric Skillet! Mom actually used it for her beef stroganoff! She also made a nice chicken marsala in the same skillet. I believe she still has it. I'm going to call her tonight and ask. I absolutely love the idea of the crunchy Chinese noodles- going to try this next time I make stroganoff. 😋 Thank you for sharing your Mom's recipes with us 🌻 I would love to see more!
That stroganoff recipe is close to my mom’s too! Although her recipe calls for tomato paste instead of ketchup :D My mom still has a table top skillet just like that too and still uses to this day! (Although I was a 90’s kid haha 😆)
Lol, about the plug in/electric skillet: I grew up with them and I currently have two, a big rectangular one and a square one and my young adult children borrow them all the time!
Our recipe calls for cream cheese and dejon mustard and of course Worcestershire sauce and also mushrooms. Never heard of putting ketchup in it. Interesting. Everyone seems to make it a little differently. We make frittata a lot and it's great because u can put whatever you want in it. Generally I put peppers, mushrooms, onions, real bacon bits, sometimes some fresh spinach and feta cheese. Occasionally I will cut up leftover baked potato and put in it as well oh and of course the eggs. Deliciousness!
My mom had the square skillet too!! My mom made many meals in it. And we had blueberry muffins for supper many times also!!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane with this video!
I still have one of those electric skillets. That was the best way to cook something at a specific temperature if you didn’t want to heat up your oven. It was way the way to go before instant pots were invented.
I have that exact electric skillet, even the same color. Still works after 30 years. I have had the same problem with getting the biscuit can opening so I hit I on edge of cabinet on the seam and it usually opens right up. Will make the cake for a big mother's day lunch. It has to be cherry in our immediately family, granddaughter allergic to strawberries. But we have made the cherries soon all have adjusted to it just fine. I think at least no complaints. Love all your videos, so great for families. God Bless You!🌹💐🌷
I had a few electric skillets in my younger years! One was avocado green, one was a reddish orange and my last one was stainless steal! My mother also put beef stroganoff on chow mein noodles.
Yes, I had that same electric skillet in the ‘70s. I still make the same strawberry cake recipe but make it as a two layer cake. In fact, I made it for Valentine’s Day.
I’m soooooo glad to hear it wasn’t just my mom that served blueberry muffins with dinner! My husband thought I was nuts when I went to make them with a meal once haha! Needless to say I can only make them for breakfast now, hmmm I might have to make some muffins for dinner tonight though.
Now the Stoganoff and my Mom's Chop Suey sounds good. 🤣 Not sure why my sister got all Mom's recipes after she passed but I'm going to see about her coping them. There are 5 kids in our family also. I only had 1 Son and the older he gets I keep thanking God for only giving me one. I thought the baby age was stressful but nope!
@@SeeMindyMom I kept asking them how they did it with all of us both working full time jobs. I guess it might have been about a dozen babysitters we had or should I say went through. 🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait to try these meals! What great ideas! I love how you are able to create content that flows so well with whatever the advertisement is you're promoting. I admit, I often skip over that part of the video, but I completely understand why it needs to be done and that this is part of your livelihood and how you're able to give back to your community as much as you do which I think is such a beautiful thing you're doing. I appreciate how your content is still so down to earth, helpful and applicable to everyone, despite advertising as well. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for saying that, Laura. I do take great care when vetting potential sponsors and choose companies I truly like and that I feel could be useful or helpful to somebody watching. I usually try to put chapters in my videos so people can skip around to the parts they want to see, but sometimes I forget!
My mother had an electric frying pan that she used to fry up ground chuck and add whatever she had on hand. She also used it for spaghetti sauce and almost anything you can think of. Always homemade meals.
Yes. Electric skillet. My mom used it alot during our childhood. Thank you for sharing. The frozen strawberries with sugar must have been the thing for our moms back in the day. We grew up having strawberry fluff. Very similar to your dessert. Angel food cake, frozen strawberries, strawberry jello and coolwhip. Breakfast pizza is my family's choice for Christmas. So easy and delicious.
The strawberry cake and the breakfast pizza are definitely my favorites that I want to try. My nephew used to request a strawberry cake for his birthday when he was younger. You certainly can’t go wrong with bread and cheese anything, lol! Thanks so much for sharing, Mindy.
My mom has an electric skillet like that from when I grew up that has long since lost its plastic handles and legs. My dad made some wooden legs for it that are screwed into it. You need a pot holder to touch or move it. It isn't pretty but it still works. I made pancakes on it a couple months ago.
We still use my mom's electric skillet from the 80's! Ours is all silver but my grandmother had one that was that awesome 1970s Oliver green. You are great. I really enjoy your videos!
Mindy all your mom’s recipes look delicious! I plan on making them all! Especially that strawberry cake, I’m a sucker for all things strawberry! Thank you for this!
Oh we would have starved to death without my mom's electric skillet! She used that thing almost nightly. I think the only time she didn't use it was when she was cooking our Sunday pot roast dinner which she did on the stove and her Dutch oven as she called it. Our Skillet was the poppy red color or at least the one I remember the most I think since they were Teflon lined my mom went through more than one of them growing up because she always use metal utensils.
So I never saw one of those skillets growing up but my sweet mother in law had one and pulled it for for specific things! I always thought it was so great and still wonder if I should get one!!
I have tried so many of your recipes. I was looking in my freezer and have some stew meat so I will be trying the beef stroganoff with the chow mein noodles. That cooker/fryer my mom had a white one for frying chicken.
I had one of those electric skillets. As a square/rectangle it was great for French toast, pancakes grilled cheese sandwiches etc. So much handier than a round shape.
I have to share this with you! My Mother is ill and we are all dealing with her declining health and the changes that go with that. I have been spending every possible free moment with her and we’ve been reminiscing about so much of her life. I went searching for a journal, a book…something that I could use to record these memories. I just searched TODAY! I even have prayed that God would guide me to honor her the best way I can.

Crystal, thank you so much for sharing that with me! I'm sure what you are going through with your family is tough, but I'm glad you are getting some time to hear her stories. Blessings to you both!
Please make this kind of video more often! It’s definitely one of my favorites!
Thanks, Meghan!

Yes I remember the electric skillet my parents used. I have one myself now at 40 lol. I love it. ❤
I loved this video. Because I love seeing your momma's recipe cards, they reminded me of my mom's. She used to type hers out on 3x5 cards, too. ❤
I appreciate this video. Lost my parents already and actually my dad was the cooker and I miss those family meals! ❤️ thank you!!!
So sorry for your loss, Courtney.

My mom didn't have an electric skillet, but my aunt does and she uses it all the time. My mother in law often makes blueberry muffins with dinner too!
My parents had a silver electric skillet I remember fondly. They still have it and still use it!

We still use our electric skillet! My mother in law got me hooked on it ❤
My mother and my grandmother both had an electric skillet. My grandmother used hers until she had to move in with my mother at the age of 95 and as far as I know my mum still uses hers and she's 81 this year.
Use a spoon along the black line on can. Use spoon concave side down
Pops the seam easily.
I just hit it on the side of the he counter
I remember those electric skillets. I have one but mine has a glass lid. Love it.
1. I have my grandmother’s square skillet/fryer with the beige top and it still works.
2. Use a spoon to push along the line of cans that won’t pop open and it helps pop them.
I love that you talk through the recipes. I can watch while I cook and I don’t miss anything. Oh am I love crunchy noodles 🍜.
Let me know if you ever try the crunchy noodles with the stroganoff! 😊
Yes! We had that electric fryer in the 60’s green. She made the best fried chicken in that thing.
Our was brown with an orange lid. Lol
Yes, I grew up with a skillet like that too! 🤩
My mom absolutely had an electric frying pan. It was gold. There were only certain things she cooked in it too. Like her fried pork chops and the gravy was always made in that electric frying pan.

I grew up with my mom making “Hot Dish” aka goulash in the table top electric skillet that looked exactly like the one you showed. Memories!!!
My mom used her electric fry pan more than the stove. My favorite was the chuck roast she made in it.
We had blueberry muffins for dinner rather then breakfast too. My parents grew up with eggs and bacon or sausage for breakfast and muffins were a bread option for dinners. (They always had a bread)
We always had bread with dinner, too. Always!
You had blueberry muffins at dinner time?!! Yummm we had 🥖 usually
Yes, we had Jiffy muffins with breakfast growing up.
Love all your videos.. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦. Over here we still use that electric “skillet. But we call it an electric frying pan 😁
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
I noticed when I went looking for that picture that they still make them!
I use my electric skillet weekly!
When we put my mom into assisted living I was given all her cookbooks and recipe cards, so I often times go through them, it's often times very bittersweet ,mom and to this day myself make a stroganoff with cream of mushroom soup hamburger garlic salt a can of Campbell's beef broth Etc but we put mushrooms in ours I think in the beginning days we use can mushrooms and then it turned into real mushrooms LOL thank you for the memories I always enjoy your Channel my mom will be 100 in a few weeks and I always enjoy remembering all the meals and happy times growing up
100!!! Wow! What a milestone birthday! I'll bet she has many amazing stories living through the last century!
My grandmother had that electric skillet. Hers was a French blue and I remember her cooking pork chops in it
Yes! My grandma had that electric skillet - it lives in our camper now. ☺️
My mom had an electric skillet as well. I remember her usually making smothered pork chops or smothered chicken in it. She'd put it over white rice and it was so tasty.
Yes the skillet!!! Grew up with one too! Our cover was tan!!
Yes mom had an electric skillet and so do I. I use it all the time. :)

Especially the strawberry cake i wanted that at my birthday each year..😀 she cooked the same sort of stuff. She had the same pan but called it her electric frying pan. You brought me bach with this video. THANK YOU!!
Thanks for the tip on the muffin tops!! I love blueberry muffins!
My mom used the electric skillet to make chicken & rice for us as kids. I make chicken & rice in my own electric skillet now for my kids 🥰😍 just like she did. I love it!
Yummy. My momma used an electric skillet...thanks for sharing and bringing back memories.
We still have an electric skillet at our cabin! It heats very quickly and comes in handy since we have no stove or microwave in this quaint little cabin!
My Mom, when she made beef stew she would make blue berry muffins. It was great. I miss her. She had several electric skillets.

Taste of home has a recipe for muffin mix. It makes throwing a batch of muffins in the oven really fast. Just add butter, egg, milk.
Thanks for the tip!

Lol, about the plug in/electric skillet: I grew up with them and I currently have two, a big rectangular one and a square one and my young adult children borrow them all the time!
We didn’t have them for supper, but, we used the mix with the can of blueberries. I’ll be going to the store for a box. Thanks for the memory.
Thank you for sharing this. I love that you have such a beautiful recipe box of yummy memories.
Thanks for watching!

I still have my mom's electric skillet. I pull it out every now and then when I am thinking of her and make stuff that she made in it.
Yes, my dad used an electric skillet to fry chicken in every Sunday. Brings back good memories
My mom had the square skillet too!! My mom made many meals in it. And we had blueberry muffins for supper many times also!!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane with this video!

I have that exact electric skillet, even the same color. Still works after 30 years. I have had the same problem with getting the biscuit can opening so I hit I on edge of cabinet on the seam and it usually opens right up. Will make the cake for a big mother's day lunch. It has to be cherry in our immediately family, granddaughter allergic to strawberries. But we have made the cherries soon all have adjusted to it just fine. I think at least no complaints. Love all your videos, so great for families. God Bless You!🌹💐🌷
We had a skillet like that! My mom would cook up hamburger and add a can of tomato soup and a can of green beans. It was called "Goop".
Wow ! Everything looks so delicious ! Strawberry cake is one of my favorites ! Thank you for sharing !
My grandma has one of those skillets and she still uses it!
I had a few electric skillets in my younger years! One was avocado green, one was a reddish orange and my last one was stainless steal! My mother also put beef stroganoff on chow mein noodles.

Now the Stoganoff and my Mom's Chop Suey sounds good. 🤣 Not sure why my sister got all Mom's recipes after she passed but I'm going to see about her coping them. There are 5 kids in our family also. I only had 1 Son and the older he gets I keep thanking God for only giving me one. I thought the baby age was stressful but nope!
Becky, I only have 3 and I have many times wondered how in the world my parents managed it with 5! LOL
@@SeeMindyMom I kept asking them how they did it with all of us both working full time jobs. I guess it might have been about a dozen babysitters we had or should I say went through. 🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait to try these meals! What great ideas! I love how you are able to create content that flows so well with whatever the advertisement is you're promoting. I admit, I often skip over that part of the video, but I completely understand why it needs to be done and that this is part of your livelihood and how you're able to give back to your community as much as you do which I think is such a beautiful thing you're doing. I appreciate how your content is still so down to earth, helpful and applicable to everyone, despite advertising as well. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for saying that, Laura. I do take great care when vetting potential sponsors and choose companies I truly like and that I feel could be useful or helpful to somebody watching.
I usually try to put chapters in my videos so people can skip around to the parts they want to see, but sometimes I forget!
My mother had an electric frying pan that she used to fry up ground chuck and add whatever she had on hand. She also used it for spaghetti sauce and almost anything you can think of. Always homemade meals.
Yep, my mom had one, too. Somehow I missed this in the video but the comments made me go back, lol.
I remember eating this cake. Will be getting the recipe. And remember the sweetened strawberries
This strawberry cake was my favorite birthday day!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Yes. Electric skillet. My mom used it alot during our childhood. Thank you for sharing. The frozen strawberries with sugar must have been the thing for our moms back in the day. We grew up having strawberry fluff. Very similar to your dessert. Angel food cake, frozen strawberries, strawberry jello and coolwhip. Breakfast pizza is my family's choice for Christmas. So easy and delicious.
One of our childhood lunch memories was mac and cheese with blueberry muffins lol it’s nostalgic!
I have done the muffin trick of the higher heat and dropping it back down to regular heat and it does work great.
We had a electric skillet as well always cooked in it.
It has worked great for me, too! I’m surprised I didn’t know about the muffin baking hack sooner!
Yes my grandma raised me and she taught me how to cook with that electric skillet.
You can also use ham in the breakfast casserole.
My mom used to cook chicken with cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup in our electric skillet. It was so delicious 😋
The strawberry cake and the breakfast pizza are definitely my favorites that I want to try. My nephew used to request a strawberry cake for his birthday when he was younger. You certainly can’t go wrong with bread and cheese anything, lol! Thanks so much for sharing, Mindy.
That skillet brought back memories!! I wish I had one now. My mom used it all the time.
My mom has an electric skillet like that from when I grew up that has long since lost its plastic handles and legs. My dad made some wooden legs for it that are screwed into it. You need a pot holder to touch or move it. It isn't pretty but it still works. I made pancakes on it a couple months ago.
We still use my mom's electric skillet from the 80's! Ours is all silver but my grandmother had one that was that awesome 1970s Oliver green. You are great. I really enjoy your videos!
Mindy all your mom’s recipes look delicious! I plan on making them all! Especially that strawberry cake, I’m a sucker for all things strawberry! Thank you for this!
It’s a keeper! Pretty easy, too.
Oh we would have starved to death without my mom's electric skillet! She used that thing almost nightly. I think the only time she didn't use it was when she was cooking our Sunday pot roast dinner which she did on the stove and her Dutch oven as she called it. Our Skillet was the poppy red color or at least the one I remember the most I think since they were Teflon lined my mom went through more than one of them growing up because she always use metal utensils.
So I never saw one of those skillets growing up but my sweet mother in law had one and pulled it for for specific things! I always thought it was so great and still wonder if I should get one!!
I love my electric skillet!!
Presto makes electric skillets still!
I have tried so many of your recipes. I was looking in my freezer and have some stew meat so I will be trying the beef stroganoff with the chow mein noodles. That cooker/fryer my mom had a white one for frying chicken.
I had one of those electric skillets. As a square/rectangle it was great for French toast, pancakes grilled cheese sandwiches etc. So much handier than a round shape.
My mom served blueberry muffins for dinner too! She used the mix as well. Good memories!
I can’t wait to try that stroganoff recipe
My mom had 2 of them. A square one and a longer rectangle one. She used them all the time.
