Pineapple Philly Pie

by Mrs Marvel

This could be a sweet and creamy, cheesecake-y type dessert. I don’t usually go for pineapple myself, but this could be really good. I think the cream cheese would soften the sharpness of the pineapple and be a really nice balance.

Pineapple Philly Pie

1/3 c sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 c crushed pineapple (do not drain)

1/2 lb (8 oz) pkg cream cheese

1/2 c sugar

1/2 teas salt

2 eggs

1/2 c milk

1/2 teas vanilla

1 unbaked pie shell

1/4 c chopped pecans

Blend 1/3 c sugar with 1 tbs starch (cornstarch). Add 1 c crushed pineapple (not drained) & cook, stirring constantly til mixture is thick & clear. Cool. Combine a 1/2 lb package cream cheese with 1/2 c sugar and 1/2 teas salt. Blend smooth. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, stir well after each is added. Blend in 1/2 c milk & 1/2 teas vanilla. Spread the cooled pineapple mixture in a 9 inch unbaked pie shell. Pour on cream cheese mixture & sprinkle with 1/4 c chopped pecans. Bake in hot 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 & bake 50 minutes. Cool before serving.

Garden Supper Casserole

by Mrs Marvel

I meant to have this posted last week, but item is an enemy some days. This recipe isn’t appealing to me – there are a whole lot of peas and tomatoes in it and those two are not on my list of “approved” veggies. It sounds like a meat & veg casserole. I love the description – A texture, flavor, color blend of cooked vegetables, sharp cheese and meat. Not terribly inspiring and a little confusing.

Garden Supper Casserole

2 cups cubed soft bread (about two slices)

1/2 cup grated sharp American cheese

2 tbsp butter, melted

1 cup peas or other cooked vegetable

2 tbsp minced onion

3 tbsp butter, melted

3 tbsp flour

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 1/2 cups milk

1 cup chopped, cooked meat, flakes tuna fish or 3 slices hard cooked eggs

1 large tomato, slices 1/8 inch thick

Mix together bread, cheese and first measure of melted butter. Line a buttered casserole dish with half the cheese crumbs. Add a layer of peas or other veg, sauté over low heat until brown the onion in the second measure of butter. Add to that the flour, salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Stir in the milk and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in the meat or eggs. Pour this mixture over the peas. Arrange the tomato slices over the top, and finally spread the remaining cheese crumbs over that. Bake 25 minutes at 350.

Dog Food (Dr Carter)

by Mrs Marvel

This is an interesting recipe with some feeding advice for vintage puppers. I used to make dog food when there was concern about contaminated food coming from China. My dog loved it because of course, it was ground beef! My blend was equal parts ground beef, brown rice and shredded carrots. Our doggo would stand right under my feet while I was cooking because he knew it was his food. Then he would pick out all the carrots because he didn’t like them lol.

Dog Food

1 lb ground meet or hamburger

1 pt water

Little salt. Cook until well done then stir in:

2 1/2 cups all bran or shredded wheat

2 1/2 cups ground dog biscuits (Champion, Milk Bone or Gains Meal)

Mix these together before stirring into meat.

Feed night and morning.

Small dog 1 cup twice a day.

Large dogs 3 or 4 cups as to size twice a day.

Medium dogs 2 cups twice a day.

Leave before dog 1/2 hour then take away until next feeding.

Large dogs 1 ounce to each 1 lb body weight.

Medium dogs 1/2 ounce to each 1 lb body weight.

Small dogs 1/3 ounce to each 1 lb body weight.

Catsup?

by Mrs Marvel

Here’s an unnamed recipe for what I think might be catsup. Or possible a sauce of some kind. It’s written on the back of scrap paper from a letter or manual that came out of Boeing in Long Beach.  Reuse, recycle, after all! If you know what this is, please share in the comments.

Catsup?

1 can Campbells Tomato Soup

1 can oil

Teaspoon salt

Teaspoon paprica

3 cloves garlic

3 tablespoonfuls chopped onion

3/4 can vinegar

Sugar

Do something with it and then enjoy it in some other fashion.

 

Also randomly in the recipe box was the card with neatly typed anniversary gift information. However, according to Hallmark they are not exactly correct. Hallmark says the first year is paper, second year is cotton, fourth is fruit or flowers…It must be one of those things that evolves over time. Also, the diamond anniversary was revised from 75th to 60th. I wonder if that has to do with people getting married later in life? In my opinion, every anniversary should be a diamond one lol.

 

Brer Rabbit All-Bran Muffins

by Mrs Marvel

Here’s another bran muffin recipe, this time using molasses. The brand Brer Rabbit has several types of strengths, including a lighter, darker and blackstrap. Each has differing intensity of flavor. If you don’t have this brand of molasses, you can use another.

Brer Rabbit All-Bran Muffins

1 c Kellogg’s All-Bran

3/4 c milk

1 c sifted flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 c Brer Rabbit Molasses

1 egg

2 tbsps soft shortening

1/2 c raisins

  1. Combine Kellogg’s All-Bran and milk in mixing bowl.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt into same bowl. Add Beer Rabbit Molasses, egg shortening, and raisins. Stir only until combined.
  3. Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full, or for pan bread, spread in greased 8×8 inch pan. Bake in preheated moderately hot oven (400º F) 20-25 minutes. (Slightly longer for pan bread)

Makes 12 medium muffins (or 9 squares of bread).
