This delicious meal of meatballs and onion gravy reminds me of gramma’s hamburger gravy she made when we were kids.

I’m serving the meatballs and gravy with…

Standard Two-Egg Cake from the 1940s
This vanilla cake from the 1940s is delightful. It’s soft and has a nice vanilla flavor. It’s a great base cake that would go great with any flavor of frosting or filling. It is not overly sweet which I was surprised by since there’s both corn syrup and sugar in the cake. It’ll be a…

Barley & Lentil Soup

Palmiers
Palmiers are also called pig ears, palm heart or even elephant ear. It’s a french pastry made from puff pastry, rolled in such a way that it’s shaped like a palm leaf.
