The Old Fashioned Banana Pudding recipe came from my mother-in-law, who got it from someone who served it at a public school picnic in the early 1950's.

The $100.00 Chocolate Cake Recipe (the original version) and others were ordered from a magazine ad in the late 1970's for twenty-five cents each.

Yes, some recipes were made up as the cook went along. All have delightful stories behind them. They have been selected for their best of taste and time tested as old fashioned recipes.

Many of these Old Fashioned Recipes will take you back in time enjoying fond memories.

Who can't remember Mama or Grandma, with an apron tied around her waist, those beads of sweat on her face from the hot stove, skirting around the kitchen tasting and testing this and that, to ensure her family had a perfect meal?

Who can't remember the aroma of her homemade Chicken And Dumplings simmering on the stove?

Or the the tantalizing smell of her yeast rolls and the taste that was like no other?

Then there were the desserts. Oh, my! Delectable puddings and cobblers, luscious frosted cakes, and mile high pies.

Small wonder back in those days so many kitchens were called "The Family Room".
