Current Obsession: Depression Era Recipes

Apple Dumplings:

Simple recipe, consists of butter (it was lard at the time & we're vegetarian), milk, flour, baking powder, apples, sugar, and cinnamon! Tasty - sure not the same as you would get at a french pastry shop but serving it fresh and warm from the oven made it ultimately comforting and delicious!

I'm not adding a recipe as there are hundreds of delicious variations on google.

Current Obsession: Depression Era Recipes

Recently my husband said he would make 'Creamed Peas on Toast' for supper - I assumed he was delusional, then began thinking about what kind of godforsaken meal I would be in for. Was it a dessert? with whipped cream? A form of french toast? He said it was one of his most favorite suppers from his childhood but wouldn't tell me more...

Supper time came, and I was pleasantly surprised...

source & recipe

A deliciously saucy, cheesy, and sweet pea flavour on crispy toast. My husband said it was his grandma's depression era comfort food recipe. Upon more internet research, I found out that most of these recipes are quick, cheap and easy to make - and most importantly, a lot of them are vegetarian!

So, more experimenting to come...
