Category Archives: Family Recipes

Recipes from the Elders frequently served at special family dinners, or just during ordinary meals in the 1950s and 60s.

This is my Christmas/Birthday gift to you all. I have many of the Peterson and Pollard recipes here, still in a white recipe box and little red notebook. I also have some of Hazel Dodge’s best. Over the next days, weeks, and years I hope to get all these special recipes up here, and in a way I hope will be handy for you.
