Have you ever seen that movie, Julie and Julia where this girl named Julie cooks through Julia Childs entire French cookbook? You should do that with the entire 1950’s Betty Crocker Cookbook. That would make an awesome series!
I’ve been a housewife for 23 years and use Betty Crocker cookbook all the time. It’s so easy and simple to just pop open and find a recipe for anything simple unlike the internet that has 100 recipes for meatloaf
Ahhh, your videos are such a relaxing and lovely break from our current world and such a good reminder of just how sweet a more traditional and simple life really is. Thank you for the inspiration and blessings!
I don’t know why but this brought me so much joy! I feel like I’m watching a legit 1950’s housewife laugh-cry while chopping onions (so sorry for your pain 😩). Love your hair up by the way!
A lovely trick my great grandma taught me was to put the onion in the icebox/freezer for 15-20 minutes before you cut it keeps it from burning your eyes. I'm not sure how it works, but it does! Not long enough to freeze it, just enough to make it cold to the touch, and it doesn't smell or sting as much. I know it doesn't help NOW, but maybe in the future? Loving this series!
@@andreayoung8728 we keep our onions in the fridge and my eyes never burn😃 I didn't realize it was connected, I just thought onions didn't bother me🤦♀️🤣
Just love watching your videos no matter what subject for they are interesting. You and your husband make an adorable couple. These videos bring me back to the old days in the fifties for I am a baby boomer.
Great video! Just a tip for making pasta, add the salt before boiling the water. Also don’t rinse the pasta after draining, something about the starch helps the sauce to cling to the pasta🙂 I love your videos about the 50’s stuff. My mom grew up in the 50’s in the states. Miss her, she passed away almost a month ago.
sorry to hear about your mum but you are right about everything she is learning to cook which is geat she has a lot of mamas in the comments to show her how to cook love atching this sweet thing
I even like to top on a little amount of cheese onto my noodles while they are still warm before adding the sauce. It works beautifully and you get even MORE cheezy goodness if that is how you like your spaghetti 🍝
I have that cookbook. My grandma left it to me and I love it! It has these little “how to” segments where they teach new wives about entertaining, exercise, health, housework etc. It’s charming and really interesting to see how they lived back then.
I remember eating spaghetti much like this in the 60s. A household staple, though we had meat chunks rather than meatballs. It seemed like everyone always said, tasted better the next day. Rinsing the pasta is a controversial topic. Looks delicious!
To each their own, I wouldn't recommend rinsing the pasta though haha! I'm a highschooler (freshman) and I absolutely love this aesthetic! Hard to balance cleaning, cooking, homework and clubs though haha!
Omw... I found your channel a few month ago and i really love the things you do! Pro tip: make the pasta last! Everything else can wait, but pasta is the queen of the dish. She must be done last and served first!😁👑👸
Yes, I was thinking this when she went back and placed the meatballs into the sauce. I would have done the meatballs first and let them cook while I was preparing the pasta.
Next time you go to make this meal switch your pots. The pot you used to make your sauce use for your noodles, the part you used for your noodles use for your sauce 💕💕
As an avid cook and granddaughter of a Sicilian, I respectfully disagree. Taller pots are always best for making a good red gravy….AKA simmering spaghetti sauce!
@@sarahdoanpeace3623 I'm a cook, I do have some idea of what I'm taking about. Taller pot, more space. Common sense. The tall/ stock pots are made to use for sauce, chili, noodle ECT. Using a smaller pan mean less even cooking and multiple batches that have to be made. Work smarter not harder. 💕 Now if is was for just one person, use smaller pots, but for what she was doing she needed a bigger pan. It's all going to taste the same lol professional cooks use tall pots to boil water, and make sauces. Watch food network💕
@@Sisterabigail__94 excellent points! I stand by what I said but that’s what’s great about cooking, there’s a hundred different ways to make a delicious meal!!! It’s fun to learn from others and see their process. I was watching Food Network the day it began. Blessings!
I love this series! One of my favorite stories about spaghetti and meatballs in our family is my niece who adored spaghetti and meatballs so much that you could have it multiple times a week and she would never get bored. But one night my mom didn't have the time to make meatballs. So she made what we now know as bolognese sauce and to get it past my niece she called it broken meatballs. And from then on we never looked back and always wanted bolognese sauce.
Your hairdo is very, very lovely. I have some hints for your next spaghetti and meatballs. I prefer some minced garlic in my sauce with the onions. Italian herbs like marjoram, oregano and basil. Once sauce reaches boil lower to slow roll, add meatballs. Parsley chopped very fine in the balls. The longer the balls are in the sauce, the better the dish. Cook your pasta last in heavily salted water and never rinse unless a cold pasta salad. If you want you can finish your pasta in a pan with some sauce and pasta water. We Italians are pretty passionate about our pasta and we want you to get the best taste. ❤❤❤
I found your channel a few months ago and I’m so happy I did I love your videos, I struggle with a lot at home and whenever I watch one of your videos I feel happy and warm. You are very inspiring and I hope you go far with TH-cam 🌸❤️
It’s been said that keeping your mouth closed while chopping onions stops the pain and tears. While it’s hard to stay quiet, I found this tip really makes a difference.
I only use sweet onions because they don't make my eyes burn and I like the taste better. Good sauce recipe but I also add garlic. Being Italian I eyeball everything and don't measure and taste the sauce as I add ingredients. I give you a lot of credit because everything you do comes out perfect.
A tip about adding chopped stuff to the pot/pan. If you scrape your knife along the cutting board sharp side down, like in the video, you'll end up dulling it over time. But, if you flip the knife over and use the dull side to scrape your chopped goodies into the pan, the sharp side stays nice and sharp. Loved the video, I'll have to try the recipe some time!
This is the way I learned how to cook from my Grandmother and Mom. I have been cooking full meals since I was 12. Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook was a staple for us. I bought my own years ago when I first got married. You should try the Chicken ala King recipe from there if you haven’t already. It is a classic.
Miss Lilleyman. What a lovely surprise your videos are (I don't understand why they are still called videos) I came across them quite by accident and am glad I did. You aren't just blogging it or Tubing it. In a healthy balanced manner You LIVE it. I enjoy very much your forays into a past which I'll not know. Thankyou ❤️
Much respect to you Sage for the way your meatballs turned out - I cook mine in the oven now because I have never been able to fry them and have them look pretty. Loving your videos!
Oh and I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos. I have only found your channel about 10 days ago and have been binge-watching ever since ... which means I'm almost through all your videos 😅🙈🥰 Sending greetings to you from Austria 🇦🇹
I love the way you cook. You’re a good home cook, learning as you go. You are so relatable. I don’t like the professional cooking videos. They tend to be boring to me.
The updo is so cute and I love how every so often you look up into the camera with your cute smile and dimples. 💕😊 Everything looked delicious, I can't wait for the next installment in the series! 👍🌸🎶💕😊
Can we talk about how she was social distancing the onion's??? Like that's so nice! I'm literally going to make this bc I love spaghetti sooooo much and I'm so obsessed with this series rn
Julie and Julia has come up and you do resemble Amy Adams... coincidentally the Enchanted 2 movie trailer came up before your video to which Amy Adams also stars in and you do set a reminder of her in a good way. The universe is listening. Love the Julie and Julia film & love your videos keep up the great work. Your doing just swell.
Thank you for the effort you make to create this beautiful videos! As a fellow follower of the 1950's era this feels so authentic and wonderful to watch ❤❤ Sending you love from Germany 🤗
Hello darling ! You inspired me to cook this for my hubby ! Thank you sweety ! It was delicious. ,and yes I had a dance to my 1940 songs in between. Hope the placement went well ! Rest and recover and see you soon 😘
Watching this had me cracking open the version I received when I got married almost 14 years ago! I do not think I have ever used it and now I am planning spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.
I have to say that this was delicious. I had to alter the meat portion a little, as I only had frozen ground beef, so I sauteed the onions, browned the beef with them, and sprinkled the cooked beef with salt, pepper, the garlic, and parmesan. Mixed it all up and then cooked it in the sauce. It was an amazing bolognese. No herbs at all - and I think it turned out better without them adding more complex and sometimes strong flavors. I'm not a fan of oregano, anyway, so it was perfect for me. Thanks for sharing this, Sage.
When you make the stressed mum version with baby on hip and another in a high chair, I recommend a serrated knife that is somewhat blunt - likely won't bleed if accidentally cut yourself slicing up onions. Was looking through my hands at the onion cutting scenes. Thanks for bringing the 1950s back to us.
I love your videos Sage! I'm assuming you were just following the recipe but don't rinse your cooked pasta when serving it hot with a sauce like this as it prevents the sauce from properly sticking to the pasta. It's become a hotly debated topic but I've personally found it better without the rinse unless its being served as a cold pasta salad! Can't wait to see what you make next!
For reaching the result you are talking about (mantecatura), a tip is also to save a glass of the pasta water (which is rich in starch and help the tomato to mix nicely), and rinse the rest of the water.
Another well thought out beautiful video. I love seeing footage of your homeland as Australia always sounded like a beautiful place to me. I have made spaghetti and meatballs so many times but will definitley be trying this new recipe. Looks amazing! Thanks Sage!
I was cutting onions right along side of you and I was have the same onion in the eyes situation. 😂 Wonderful recipe... wonderful you. Love your channel so much 💕
I've been ridiculously curious about this recipe. I've always seen it in 1950's cookbooks, but never dove into it because I already had my own way of making it
Just wanted to let you know, I saw this video two days ago and I knew I had to try it. So tonight I made it. I did have to improvise a little bit but this is now the only way I will make spaghetti. So thank you so much!
I just made this today and it came out sooooo yummy!!! Thank you for the recipe! 😋 my whole family loves it as well!! Cant wait to make it again! 💕 love your videos so much!! - Goodyear, Arizona, USA
Love this! When you are not being vintage. Bake your meatballs on a baking sheet or just drop in sauce to simmer. Thank you for this trip back in time.
I just loved this video. So informative and fun!! I made the recipe last night. It was a huge hit with the hubby and for myself. Yum yum yum. Thanks Sage!!!🥰🥰🥰
I just want to say I enjoy very much the cooking through the decade videos they are so amazing and give me great ideas on how to tweak supper thank you please keep them coming. ❤️
@@dees3179 Here is the best video I've seen regarding pasta water along with a simple spaghetti with garlic recipe. It changed the way I serve pasta. No watery puddles of sauce on the plate ever again. th-cam.com/video/DgT-pnqACXQ/w-d-xo.html If you don't want to click the link, here's the channel ~ Lidia Bastianich: Simple Pastas: Spaghetti with Garlic and Oil.
My Mom always made her spaghetti straight from the garden - Grandpa would grow enough roma tomatoes for Mom & grandma to can enough sauce to get us through the winter. The herbs were all grown in our herb garden which was right outside the kitchen door. I've never had spaghetti as good as my Mother's & grandmother's was. Grandma always added a bit of sugar but Mom liked it without the sugar and liked to add some hot sausage to spice it up more. Grandma made her pasta - Mom bought her's. We always made our meatballs with half ground beef and half ground pork, and added a lot of parmesan cheese to them.Then baked them in the oven for about 20 min before putting them in the spaghetti sauce.
Hold a match stick between your teeth and your eyes won’t tear up from the onions! I actually learned that from my grandmother, and watching The Help. 💕Looks so delicious! I envy the way you cook so neatly and elegantly as well. 🤗
I love all your videos!!! It makes me want simpler times in my life! Plus you are very calming to watch! Your cooking videos are awesome. And your hair up is adorable.
Hello from Brisbane. I really enjoy watching your beautiful videos.Living in 1950 has always been one of my wishes. Thank you so much for drawing me into 1950 lifestyle. 🙏🌷🌹🙏🙏🙏🌷
I love this series you're doing! Great idea! I'm not done watching it yet but as soon as I saw you open that cookbook I knew I had to leave a comment because I have the same one. I actually have two, one I bought on line and another that was my mother in law's. When she passed away last year I was lucky enough to get it. It has all her notes that she wrote on recipes, if it was good, what changes she made, etc. I'm actually, kinda, obsessed with cookbooks from the 1950s. I have quite a few. I'll have to go through my bookcase and I'll comment again with some of the names of my favorites!
Have you ever seen that movie, Julie and Julia where this girl named Julie cooks through Julia Childs entire French cookbook? You should do that with the entire 1950’s Betty Crocker Cookbook. That would make an awesome series!

Doesn’t matter what the subject, your videos are always so enjoyable to watch! Your hair up today was so cute!!
Awh! Thank you!
Yes 😍💕💕
My prayers for London! May her majesty rest in peace! Long live the king! May London stay with the same grace and love that queen Elizabeth gave!
Ahhh, your videos are such a relaxing and lovely break from our current world and such a good reminder of just how sweet a more traditional and simple life really is. Thank you for the inspiration and blessings!
That means so much, thank you! xx
You're ridiculously brave to cook spaghetti in such a light-colored outfit! I was afraid for you the entire time, lol!
An apron helps a lot. I like to wear one most of the time.
It’s not an outfit, that’s an apron lol

It works beautifully and you get even MORE cheezy goodness if that is how you like your spaghetti 🍝
Kathy Forgues sending my condolences 💐
My understanding... Rinse noodles if using for a cold dish; do not rinse for a hot dish. Bon appetit! 😊

One of my favorite meals of all time. As a mom of 5 kids, your demonstration of cooking, is what my life is like- everyday. Real life!
Also, if you don’t have a large pot to cook the spaghetti, you can always break it in half to fit into a smaller pot.

This feels so nostalgic, like a PBS special
Looks very scrumptious I’m gonna try that thanks.
I have never added parmesan cheese to my meatball mixture. That is an excellent idea. Going to try that next time.
You're just the cutest thing! Love your channel ❤
I nearly cried when you poured the spaghetti water down the drain. That stuff is liquid gold.
What do you do with it?
@@dees3179 Here is the best video I've seen regarding pasta water along with a simple spaghetti with garlic recipe. It changed the way I serve pasta. No watery puddles of sauce on the plate ever again. th-cam.com/video/DgT-pnqACXQ/w-d-xo.html If you don't want to click the link, here's the channel ~ Lidia Bastianich: Simple Pastas: Spaghetti with Garlic and Oil.
My Mom always made her spaghetti straight from the garden - Grandpa would grow enough roma tomatoes for Mom & grandma to can enough sauce to get us through the winter. The herbs were all grown in our herb garden which was right outside the kitchen door. I've never had spaghetti as good as my Mother's & grandmother's was. Grandma always added a bit of sugar but Mom liked it without the sugar and liked to add some hot sausage to spice it up more. Grandma made her pasta - Mom bought her's. We always made our meatballs with half ground beef and half ground pork, and added a lot of parmesan cheese to them.Then baked them in the oven for about 20 min before putting them in the spaghetti sauce.
Hold a match stick between your teeth and your eyes won’t tear up from the onions! I actually learned that from my grandmother, and watching The Help. 💕Looks so delicious! I envy the way you cook so neatly and elegantly as well. 🤗
I was actually just thinking of The Help when Aibileen said that. I will have to try that sometime now that I know that actually works lol

I love this series you're doing! Great idea! I'm not done watching it yet but as soon as I saw you open that cookbook I knew I had to leave a comment because I have the same one. I actually have two, one I bought on line and another that was my mother in law's. When she passed away last year I was lucky enough to get it. It has all her notes that she wrote on recipes, if it was good, what changes she made, etc. I'm actually, kinda, obsessed with cookbooks from the 1950s. I have quite a few. I'll have to go through my bookcase and I'll comment again with some of the names of my favorites!
