It's been a long time since I've posted. However, I have been searching for recipes as requests come in. If you send a request and don't hear from me right away -- it is usually because I didn't have any quick results finding the recipe you request. Once in a while a request does slip past me.
This summer I have been working on getting my recipes better organized. My teenage neighbor has spent more than 60 hours this summer sorting all the loose index card recipes and newspaper clippings people (think family members) have given me over the years. That project is now complete. She sorted them by category and then in alpha sort.
Now she is typing all my cookbooks into LibraryThing. Currently the count is 133 cookbooks...and we many, many shelves of cookbooks to go! I keep telling my husband "no more cookbooks!", then I go to an estate sale and buy them myself! This weekend I found two pickling cookbooks printed many years ago by a local cucumber grower...the parents of the same farmer that I buy my pickling cukes from.
So here are a lot of recipe requests...hopefully you all can help these folks. I still have more to publish. Maybe next week.
Inspiration Cake
“A friend of mine was looking for a cake recipe. She said that her grandmother called it an inspiration cake. It was a white cake that used egg whites and shaved pieced of semi-sweet chocolate were folded into the batter. Would you know of this recipe? Thank you, Beth”
Molasses Corn Cake
“My mother is 92 years old and going strong. She has been talking about and searching for a recipe for the molasses cake her mother made using cornmeal and spices. Any help in providing one will be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance, Brenda”
Sweet Milk Pie
“I am looking for a recipe of my Great Grandmothers. She called it a Sweet Milk Pie but it seems to me more like dumplings. I do know she would boil sweet milk and may have added sugar to the milk. Then she would cut dough and drop it into the boiling milk-in layers. It also seems that the dough was sweet. Any suggest would be appreciated, Candy”
Holiday Cookies from Imperial
“What I am looking for is a recipe that I have used for many years. It was a magazine ad for Imperial Margarine. The cookies are called: Holiday Cookies from Imperial. They are rolled sugar cookies that you cut out, bake and then frostdecorate. Thanks again, Dora”
Durham Scald Cream
“We were sitting around last night discussing memories and old recipes. My Mother-in-law talked about her childhood memories of visiting relatives in Durham County, Ontario during the 1930's. She remembers Durham Scald Cream, apparently used as a custard substitute (maybe?). Is there any way to locate more info on this recipe? Internet searches and searches on food sites have turned up nothing. Thanks for your help. Nick”
Chicken Casserole
“Was wondering if you could help. I found a recipe a thousand years ago in a Women’s Day or something. It include chicken parts, golden delicious apples, white sauce. I do know you brown the chicken parts and apples in a skillet...then you transfer to a baking dish or casserole dish...then you make the white sauce...this is what I cant remember...I remember you use the same pan that you browned the apples and that you use a bit of white wine but I cant remember the rest...then you pour it over your chicken and apples...and bake...its fantastic...and I would really love to make it again....can you help...thank you...sincerely.. Joan....
PS I remembered too that it included heavy whipping cream in the white sauce..butter??? not sure...probably flour to thicken more and you put it in the same pan you use to brown the apples, leaving behind a sweet glaze that incorporates into the sauce. I just cant remember the exact way to make the sauce...it was very rich..a little sweet..the wine countered that a bit...then you bake it in the oven on a low temp to ensure the chicken bakes threw while the sauce on top browns...i wish i could remember it..it was heavenly...”
Honey Buns
“I would like to find a recipe for old family honey buns.”
Strawberry Gelatin Cake and Icing
“I’m looking for an old recipe for strawberry gelatin cake and icing. It’s the icing that’s the recipe I’m searching for – it was a cooked (boiled?) icing in a saucepan and had strawberry gelatin as an ingredient, constantly stirred, then poured over the cake while still warm and then it would crust a bit on the outside but still be soft just under the crust. It would be a bit thin due to the pourable nature of the icing. Thanks! Karen”
Cheese Rarebit
“When I was about 7 years old (1972) my mother used to make this recipe she called cheese rarebit that included the following: eggs, bread slices, milk, McCormick’s cheese sauce mix.
I loved this and my mother can't remember it. Do you think someone from your group would? Please let me know if you do. Best regards, Lesley”
Snowballs
“Hello, My aunt and I are looking for an old recipe my mother would make at Christmas. I think she might have gotten the recipe from the Denver Post in the 50's. All I can tell you is that "we" called them Snowballs and that they were frozen and had coconut on the outside. They might have been made with ice cream. Thank you so much, Linny”
Yum Yum Salad
“30 years ago a 90 year 'Grandma Bacon' down the road, gave me her VERY OLD recipe for Yum Yum Salad. I've lost it !! Some of the ingredients were: 1 pkg. gelatin mixed with water, evaporated milk, celery, green pepper, onion, lemon juice, horseradish and maybe a little sugar. None of it was much – but WOW what flavor !! Thanks for your help trying to find it !! Louise”
Graham Cracker Crust Dessert
“I know that my aunt made a graham cracker crust and pressed it into a 9 x 13 in pan. It had lemon juice, I think unflavored gelatin, but I'm no sure what else. I know it set up solid. I think she put something like a cream topping on it. As kids we loved it. Her daughter can't even remember eating it. Thanks for anything you can do to help. It is something my Aunt made years ago, that we loved, and I would love to make it for my grandkids. Mary PS. Love this site.”
Six O’Clock Buns
“Looking for a recipe called “Six O’Clock Rolls/Bun” My grandmother used to mix the bread dough at night – starting at six p.m. Then at ?? 7 punch dough down, then again at 8 and the final step was to shape the dough on the baking sheets and cover with a heavy plastic sheet and towels – to keep them from rising too much that night. At 6 a.m. she would put the dough into the oven and we would have hot bread/rolls/buns for breakfast – plus her bread baking would be done for the day! I am not sure if I have the times right, Nancy”
Soupenblay and Punkyablay
“My Grand Mother and My Mom (both are of Dutch Decent.) Anyways Mom made these 2 kinds of ( I guess You Could call them a type of Soup.) One was Called Soupenblay. Made with Barley & Buttermilk not sure what else, the other Punkyablay was of course made with Pumpkins not sure what else. ( I dont know if I even spelled them right I was Very Young at the Time. but that is how they sounded to Me when they said the Words. I was bout 7 or 8 so that would be bout1947 .

That’s all I know bout it anyway. Marian”
Snow Ice Cream Memory…“Just wanted to say that I live in Northern BC Canada and have eaten a lot of snow ice cream! Its delicious and a fond memory. Both my husband and I had parents who grew up during the Dirty 30's as they referred to it, ice cream was not something I ever ate until I was in my teens, not that there wasn't such a thing, just that my mother didn't own an Ice Cream freezer, and for many years the stores didn't stock a lot of "fancy" foods, it was mostly the basics as food was trucked into the area from larger centers and took anywhere from 3 days to a week to make it to the stores. In the 1940's stuff did come in by rail to Dawson Creek, but was then trucked to Fort St John by who ever was going that way and had the room to take it. So evaporated milk, a bit of sugar and some flavouring was a real treat when mixed with snow! Eva taking a trip down memory lane.”

Season for Cooking And Searching for Lost Recipes
The fall is the busy season for lost recipe requests and for visits to our Heritage Recipe website. It's also been a very busy time for me with lots of travel so I am way behind in looking and finding these lost recipes. Can you help? Let me know if you have any of these recipes!
Toffee Bar from Ralston
Please help; there was in the late 60s a recipe on a box of Ralston wheat cereal for a Toffee Bar. They are the best cookies I had growing up and my dear sister lost the recipe. I would so love to find them again after 40 years, I have searched forever on the net and cannot find. Help make an old man young again, PLEASE! Robert
Chocolate Cake Frosting
I am looking for a recipe for cake frosting. My mother said it was her favorite as a child, and I would like to make it for her on her birthday. All I know about it is that it was chocolate and it hardened. Like that stuff they put on ice-cream now. If anyone has this recipe I would greatly appreciate it! Thank You, Billie
Banana Pudding
I was looking for a recipe - Banana Pudding that is made with buttermilk. I have very little computer knowledge and could not figure out the Blog thing. If you can post or if you have it that would be great. I had this 20 years ago and have not forgotten the best Banana pudding ever. Thanks, Susan
What is Krogo?
I have an old recipe that come from my grandma's recipe book, there’s a word I haven’t been able to figure out. When it calls for 1/2 Cup Krogo is that speaking of 1/2 Cup of Shortening or Lard? Thanks for any help you can give, Amanda
Uncle Ben’s Rice Pudding
I moved a year ago, and lost my entire file on old recipes that I had collected from 1960. Including the wonderful Rice Pudding recipe printed on the Uncle Ben’s rice box. I have researched the site for Uncle Ben’s Rice, but they have resorted to instant rice and instant pudding. The original recipe required that you cook the rice, then simmer it in milk, and add eggs, vanilla sugar, raisins etc. It was a wonderful recipe that required time and effort. It was worth every minute. I am hoping that you can help me. Thank You,
Virginia
Turkey Stuffing
I’ve been searching for a recipe for turkey stuffing that I got from a friend years ago. Sadly, I’ve lost touch with my friend and the recipe, but I often think of both around the holidays. I seem to recall that she got the recipe from an old cookbook that was either from the Pacific Northwest (Oregon I think) or had Pacific Northwest in the title. Some of the ingredients that I can remember are bread cubes, onions, ground sausage, hazelnuts (the original recipe might have called for chestnuts which weren’t easy to find so hazelnuts were substituted), Madeira (or maybe it was marsala), herbs and seasoning. I also seem to recall there being cream or sour cream in the recipe as well, but I’m not as certain on that ingredient. This is absolutely the best stuffing I have ever had. It’s great with turkey dinner and amazing on turkey sandwiches the next day. If you can find the recipe I would be grateful and I’m sure your readers would love it as much as I do. Thanks, Kathy
Editor's Note: I found a stuffing recipe that may be the one -- in a very old Gourmet and it's on their website - here. Heard back from Kathy who says this recipe is it.
Different Vinegar Pie
When I was a child my grandmother used to make a pie she called vinegar pie, but it was not like the lemon pie in a pie shell. I remember she made something like cinnamon rolls and placed them in a pan. Then she made a syrup by cooking vinegar, sugar, and I don't know what else. She would pour the syrup mixture over the cinnamon rolls and baked. It was so good. After she passed away, I looked everywhere for that recipe, but I guess it was only in her head. I would love to have that recipe and be able to share some of my heritage with my children and now my own grandchildren. I am praying that you can help me. I've looked on line and can't find anything like it. Please, Please help if you can. I would really appreciate what ever you could do.
Thanks, Lahoma
Editor's Note: I found a recipe for Old Fashioned Vinegar Rolls at Cooks.com. It sounds a lot like the one Lahoma is looking for.
Domco Delight Cake
I have a recipe for the domco delight cake my mom left me when she passed. I have searched and searched and no one else seems to have heard of this recipe. Please if you have or you know of one that would be very much appreciated. Cathy
Osterizer Drink
Hi, When I was a child going to the old country fairs, the Osterizer was just starting to appear. The demonstrator would put together the most awful list of vegetables, including cabbage, beets, carrots, and all of that kind of stuff and this AMAZINGLY GREAT pink frothy mix would come forth that I would love to reproduce and have to drink. It has to be one of the healthiest drinks in the world. The most amazing thing was that the mixture was SWEET with no identifiable vegetable flavors....Have you ever found this or heard of this??? Thanks and I hope you can help!! Dallas
Sweet Potato Orange Pudding
Can you help me my grandmother made this pudding from grated sweet potato and oranges I think, when it was done it was kind of sticky, dark brown and sweet. I hope you can help as we lost the recipe. Veronica
Editor's Note: Found this Sweet Potato Pone recipe that has all the requirements Veronia is looking for, so I hope it is the one. Take a look at Sweet Potato Pone at Bellaonline.
Cake Frosting Recipe Trouble
Hi … I’m trying to make sense of an heirloom recipe in the family. This was a prized cake frosting recipe that my husband's grandmother used to put on yellow cake. No one in the family can get the recipe to come out like the family remembers her cooking it ... and, the recipe doesn’t make sense to me in regards to their description.
They said it had the texture of 7 minute frosting.... crunchy on the top and softer underneath ... and that she cooked it in a cast iron skillet.
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs beaten
add 1 1/3 cup coconut
1 cup pecans/walnuts
1t. vanilla
No idea how to combine/cook. The problem is that it is a caramel recipe with the eggs and milk ... so I don't know how you would crunch that up on top. The coconut & walnuts make it more of a frosting like for German-chocolate cake, but that isn't crunchy on top either. Any ideas?
Rocky Mount Cake
Am trying to find a recipe for a Rocky Mount cake. My husband's family is from NC / VA area and he remembers this cake as a child. All of his older family members are deceased and we cannot find a recipe. We know the filling has nuts at least two kinds and coconut. It was apparently baked during the holidays. I would love to be able to bake one for him this year. We live in AL now and I have not been able to locate a recipe. Thank you!
Editor's Note: Follow this link Rocky Mount Cake -- it may be the lost recipe.
Tuna Casserole Favorite
Many years ago my family loved this recipe and now I cannot either find it nor remember it. Can you help? It was tuna, canned soup and potato chips all layered in a pan and then baked. But cannot remember the good details.
Sincerely, Carol
Currant Muffins
My great-grandmother lived to 96--I was truly blessed. Her husband was a blind traveling minister who traveled throughout Nebraska and the Midwest. My grandmother, one of great grams 8 children remembers having to play in the wagon because of the many rattlesnakes. Unfortunately they have passed and the recipes with them. My great used to make a very simple free formed pie/tart we kids used to love but I can't find it anywhere. She used to call it "Currant Muffins". It was made with soaked dark raisins, pie crust and sugar--I'm not sure if anything else or what kind of crust was actually made. The dough was rolled and the raisins put on and sprinkled with sugar then the dough then sealed and baked. Have you ever seen anything like this? My great grandmother was born sometime in the 1870's. Thanks in advance for your help.
Pumpkin Dessert
Hi. I hope you can help me. Around 2000, I made a recipe for a pumpkin dessert that was baked in a springform pan. It had pureed pumpkin from a can, peanut butter and chocolate (in layers) on a cookie crust. It was incredible. I can't remember if it was from an ad (like Libby's) or an article, but I think it was from Good Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens or a magazine like that. I'm pretty sure it was from 2000, give or take a year. If someone knows what I'm talking about, the karma you will get for helping supply it to me will be astounding. Thank you in advance.

Warm Sandplum Soup
My wife has picked and made sandplum jelly for several years now. I told her that as a young child, my grandmother used to pick sand plums and make what was called sandplum soup. It might have been sandplum pudding. I have looked many times on the internet to try to locate anything that might be similar. My mother remembers my grandmother making sandplum soup, but has no idea how it was done. Do you have any information, or any leads on such a recipe?
Dave
(Editor’s Note – found chilled Sand Plum Soup Recipes, but not a warm one.)
Peanut Candy
About 60 years ago my Dad at Christmas would bring home for Christmas a peanut candy made of sugar and peanuts. I tried the peanut candy with sorghum but that is not it. The candy came in sheets that were cut into squares. That was in Winston-Salem, N.C. I don't know if it was from the Moravians. Thanks for your help. Jack
Shredded Wheat Health Bar
Hi, Back in the 80's maybe early 90's there was yellow boxes of Shredded Wheat cereal. These were fairly good size large biscuits at the time not bite size. On the box was a recipe for a somewhat healthy bar. It involved breaking up the biscuits, adding nuts, honey and cant remember what else. You then pressed the mixture into a 13 x 9 baking dish and baked it for a short time. I loved these and would like the recipe again. I sent Nabisco or Post I can’t remember which a note a year or so ago and they sent back some recipe that was not it. Again this was on the box and I remember it being yellow and an odd shape due to the large biscuits. Thanks for any help, Kevin
