~Remembering When ... ~ (Treasures Found In The Cupboard)


These pink plastic candle holders held the candles to all 4 of us girls' birthday cakes for many years ... the huffing & puffing to blow those candles out after wishing for magical dreams ...

... in the 1960s I used these candle holders on my daughter's birthday cake ...

... in 2008 we used these candle holders on Tatiana's birthday cake at our home ...





... many a cake was made from scratch with Mother's recipes from this file ...

... as I was going thru each recipe I noticed that 99% of the recipes were for sweets, maybe this is how we all wound up with such a sweet tooth ...







... I love looking at Mother's beautiful handwriting, she wrote the (2) on the (r) ...












... and this is my MILs recipe box, that is filled with a lot of yummy casseroles & a few desserts that she used all the time for her family ...

... Ma's best recipe was hamburger casserole ~
fry hamburger patties, seasoned w/garlic salt & pepper light
... prepare any amount of rice
... 1 can of mushroom soup to a 1/2 can of milk to use as gravy ... pour over rice w/hamburger on top ... DEE-LISH!!



... many of Ma's (mil) recipes are from her church friends ... the one closest to the box is her handwriting ...











. ... many a summer day Mother filled this jug w/homemade lemonade, nestling this jug in a bowl of ice to chill ...












... Mother's seasoning boxes & tin still in great condition ...












... & these jello molds we kids loved making fruit jello with ...












... & Mother's measuring cup & sifter that made the flakiest homemade rolls ever tasted.
