Get ready for some 1950s cooking fun! I'm also answering some of the frequently asked questions that pop up in my comments, inbox, and DMs.

    I must say you are a TH-cam “It Girl”. There are a lot of people who post cooking videos and even quite a few that post vintage cooking videos but you are a natural in front of the camera and your beautiful personality shines through. I’m glad your husband bought you that camera now we all get to enjoy you. I predict your channel will grow quite large just because of the “IT” factor, thanks for all the videos they are a treat.

    The thing I love about your videos is your lack of pretense. You are honestly interested in the recipe, how it might work, and how you see a fail coming.

I don't know if there were other ones. I actually want to make this😅. I make a vegetable lime jello that most people in my family like and sunshine jello that has carrots in it.

    I love the way you talk about Betty Crocker as if she is real and I always assumed you knew she wasn't...lol. The Santa Claus comparison in spot on. I also collect vintage sewing books and paid $30 for one (and happy to pay it) through an online used book store. Then a couple weeks later, at an estate sale, found the same book, in better condition, for $1.00!! Definitely more exciting to find them in the wild. Congrats on your continuing growing channel...so entertaining.

    So, trick from another "I don't like crunchy onions or celery" person: grate the onion on either the smaller side of the box grater or on the zester side of the box grater. And you can get the flavor of celery without the texture by adding a pinch of ground celery seed.

    My last dog lived to be about 17; she was a rescue at 3-4 years old and we had her for 13 1/2 years. She finally became so arthritic and confused (chronic vestibular syndrome, which is like "dog Alzheimer's") that nothing could make her comfortable and we had to let her go. It's been 12 years and we still miss her. We were lucky to have her that long and that she was like a young dog until the last 6-8 months. It's never enough time.

    I applaud you for bravely making and eating a tuna flavored gelatin mold. 😖 As you were unmolding it, I was yelling "break the seal in the center". I don't care for gelatin salads but I still have my mom's Tupperware mold, exactly like that. As far as I'm concerned, Betty is an icon. She's like Tinkerbell, she IS real, if you believe. Watching your videos has made me dig out all my cookbooks to revisit them. I have many of the $.39 cookbooks as well that were my mom's. Dottie looked like a sweet girl. It's so hard to lose our furbabies. You gave her a good life, she will always love you for that.

    Your story about Dottie. Oh man. I just lost my 15 year old little guy. His name was Pio De Jesus Pico, Last Governor of California Under Mexican Rule. (Chihuahua Rat Terrier Mix) about a month ago. My heart broke into a billion pieces. Dogs really bring so much to our lives. I enjoyed seeing Dottie in your earlier videos, and I can tell she was a very well loved and sweet girl.

    My wife recently passed away a couple years ago about. two years ago. and she did all the cooking I worked two jobs my whole life. I'm in my 50s. and I never really learned how to cook. I want to say thank you for putting on these videos. I find it relaxing to watch your video. Read your recipes. Hence I'm learning how to cook. I have to say my grandma used to make this jello ring. and it was really good. I think she used lemon jello, though. I could be wrong. but I always wondered how she made it. So thank you for this video. It's very nostalgic. I appreciate everything you do. God bless and thank you for the great meals.

    When my sister & I were young, my mom made plain tuna in tomato aspic. No one would eat it, so we teased her about it. Well, she got mad & forced us to eat a big helping. I still remember watching 'Mr. Ed' & choking down tuna jello! I have the same mold w/removable center--it makes the release kind of magical.

I know exactly what you went through and how you feel. There’s nothing harder than losing a loyal friend who is literally with you 24/7. They leave the biggest imprint on your life and the biggest loss when they are no longer with us. No amount of time is ever long enough to have them-that’s the hardest part of having a fur baby. God Bless Dottie and you for loving her and giving her a wonderful 16 years. She was so beautiful. ❤🐾🌈

I look at my scrapbooks all the time, the trips I have documented the places I have been, people say to me "you scrapbook oh that sounds like a waste of time and money". But they bring me such joy...I always wanted to teach scrapbooking on youtube but feel like no one will watch or everyone will leave bad comments, don't think I can handle that rejection. I love watching you cook these old strange recipes and you eat them, it fascinates me, I love cook books so I am here for the long run, keep up the good work!

    😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. You’re right we never have enough time with our beloved pets. My dog was almost 17 when I had to put her down. She has been gone for six years but I still miss her so much. You’re girl Dottie was a cutey. It’s OK to be emotional about it even after a year has gone by it shows that you loved your girl very much. ❤

    Tripped over your channel, so much fun! I have several of those cookbooks, I don't use them as much as I used to, but I can't let go of them! I especially loved your video of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I have the one my aunt gave me as a wedding gift in 1968, and when my mom passed I inherited hers from the 1950s. Both are still precious. I laughed at the cheese bun-ees, I never could bring myself to try it. I'm 72, your channel keeps me young!

    Wow, your story about Dottie really resonated with me-- I had a 16 year old dog, my absolute constant companion, his name was Horus. He also developed seizures in the last year of his life, went through huge temperament changes, and I eventually had to make the hard decision too.. .I've never gotten over that.
    Also, ain't nothin' wrong with celery!!

    So sorry to hear about Dottie. I feel your grief. I lost my dog, it was year in July and I still cry thinking about him. Then in May I lost my cat who had kidney disease, and we tried to keep her longer, but it was her time. It’s never easy as they bring us love, joy and the best companionship. Watching you has me going through my old cookbooks and finding joy in them again as in recent years I just google recipes. I was able to reclaim that enjoyment that I had going through the pages. Plus you are just fun to watch. Love your enthusiasm. Congratulations 🎉

    OK, I discovered you about 8 months ago, and after the first video, I did, OF COURSE, subscribe. One thing I loved was that you are so real. Julia Child made mistakes, and kept on truckin'. You do too! I hate to go there, but I must. I miss Dottie. We had to put down our Lizzie (Borden) a year ago. She started having seizures, so I relate to your situation. She was with us for 15 years, and I "hear" her still today. I feel your pain, Anna. SO...don't make any more gelatin molds! (Kinda sounds like an Aspic?) Love you, and keep on truckin'!!!

    I know it’s not a cook book but, sunset magazine is what my mom got a lot of recipes from. Sh3 was born 1929. Her mom was NOT a cook. My mom was a single mom and worked to jobs. She would try recipes from magazines and back of boxes and cans. 🤷‍♀️

I watched just one of your videos and you got me hooked on the vintage vibe and I’ve begun collecting vintage cookbooks myself. I joined a few Facebook groups where I can buy them-I’ve net so many wonderful ladies because of your inspiration. I watch a video (at least one, many times more!) every day-you’re part of my morning routine. Thank you for your unique content and your love for cookbooks and cooking. Your sweet Dottie is always with you-our furry family members never truly leave us. Thank you for it all!

You seem to pick recipes the same way. Also, TH-cam says this video was posted 1 month ago and you were celebrating 10,000 subscribers. Now, one month later, you are almost at 30K. Congratulations!

    I’m crying here. We had to make the choice to let our Bella finally rest after 14 years of love and joy. It’s been a year and I still cry. When I felt her heart stop, mine truly froze and I lost a part of me. I once went back into our burning house to save her she was our baby.

    My grandma had a savory mayonnaise gelatin mold recipe made with cucumber and onion that she topped with chopped boiled egg. It presented so pretty, and was delicious and refreshing. I imagine your tuna mold would be just as lovely with an egg topped presentation.

      Grandma’s Cucumber Salad Gelatin Mold - She called it “Crown Salad”- Mix 1 pk. Unflavored gelatin, 2 T. Sugar, ¾ t. salt, and 4 T. lemon juice. Once mixed, add 2/3 c. boiling water, mix until all is dissolved. Next add 2 c. (of well drained, peeled & deseeded) shredded cucumber, ¼ c. drained shredded onion, ¼ c. chopped parsley and mix well. Add 1 c. mayonnaise and mix until well blended. Pour in mold. Refrigerate until it is set. Once set, release onto a serving plate and garnish with 4 shredded boiled eggs and just enough parsley to add color.

    Omgosh, I just found your channel…OBSESSED! You inspired me to get find the Betty Crocker Recipe Box! I lost my mom 3 years ago, and she had this when I was a kid!!! My mom never cooked, and we were an ingredient only household,so I spent a large part of my childhood looking and drooling over these cards! I’m going to make some of the recipes I looked at as a child with my granddaughter. Thank you for the memories and inspiration. Also, I’m a huge dog person, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved Dottie. ❤

Just burp that baby and go. Another fun video. I have a delicious tuna and tomato soup recipe I can find buried somewhere that I can share. Ought to make your day. LOL but it is absolutely delicious.

    I love making recipes from old cook books. I have a reproduction of an 1871 that i have made a few things from. I actually am making this recipe thanks to you. It is similar to my tuna pasta salad (minus the evaporated milk and gelatin.) So i made the following changes- i added a bit of sugar, reduced the lemon juice by half and I used drained relish instead of olives. It tasted a bit more milky but otherwise just like my tuna pasta salad without noodles.

    Thank you for sharing about Dottie, we your viewers loved her!! And thank you for talking to Betty Crocker in your videos, I think you have said, "trust Betty" when it looks questionable. I find myself now saying that, too. I love thinking about her like Santa. And I think about the women in the test kitchens and Better Homes and Gardens test kitchen, I wish we had a documentary. I got some lovely finds In The Wild recently, and I was thi by, "I wish Anna was her,I'm so excited!"

    I love a good jello mold. My mom still has that EXACT green mold in her kitchen. I grew up in the 70s/80s so never a buffet table existed without some kind of jello mold. They are glorious and missed. That center ring is begging for a lovely cucumber salad with dill fronds and parsley.

    I found the better homes and garden cookbook from 1968-1972 Ring binder with tabs I think it is the one my mom had the tabs had a list or were right in front of the list of recipes. I think it is the best cookbook ever as far as layout and plenty of content is concerned. I hope it's the one I remember.

    Ohh by the way APS to my last post. My grandma used to tell me. that Betty Crocker put books. and the others that are kind of like it were. put out by what she called the big box stores. They are general recipes. with base ingredients. And that was so it was so it would appeal to the masses. Kind of like how when you go to the hospital everything is cooked bland. and you can dress it up with salt, pepper and everything. to the personal Individual I don't know how true that is. But according to my grandma, A lot of her recipes started off with. those books were. books like them. And she dressed them up the way she liked them. Like I said, that came from my grandma. And she was born in 1902. She's passed away. But I did get a couple of her cookbooks. and the big Betty Crocker. Red and white checkered one was her favorite.
