Hot Fudge Sauce
This hot fudge sauce is rich and creamy and oh so fudgy! If you love chocolate then you’ll love this fudge sauce — it’s definitely for chocolate lovers!! It is quite different from the chocolate sauce from the 1940s and you do not need nearly as much as you do chocolate sauce. It’s wonderful in…
Chocolate Sauce from the 1940s
This chocolate sauce from the 1940s was used to make a chocolate milkshake, but not the kind of milkshake you would get today. A milkshake in the ‘40s is exactly as it says — pour milk into a jar, add chocolate sauce, put the lid on and shake vigorously. Voila, a milk “shake”!! This chocolate…
Caramel Sauce
This scrumptious caramel sauce is simply delicious. It’s amazing as ice cream topping, atop pancakes, a dip for fruit, drizzled in coffee or even eaten off the spoon (don’t ask me how I might know this!! Haha). Joking aside, this caramel sauce is smooth, creamy and decadent and so much better than store bought! Just…
Peanut Butter Triple Chip Cookies

We are using crunchy Wow Butter (made of soy) because I find it tastes similar to peanut butter and it can easily be substituted in place of peanut butter. These cookies have that nut…
Pizza Meatloaf

This is a really good meal and now that I’ve made it, I would change it up a bit. These pizza meatloaves are delicious but taste more like spaghetti and meatballs than pizza! Adding bell pepper to…
Poor Man’s Pie (Milk Pie)
This poor man’s pie, also called milk pie, flapper pie (a Canadian classic often topped with a meringue) or make-do pie dates back to the 1920s. It contains ingredients that were affordable of the time — only milk, sugar, flour and vanilla. The custard is sweet and took us nearly a month of saving our…
Bread Omelet from the 1940s
In the 1940s nothing went to waste. To use up stale bread, the bread was mixed with reconstituted dried egg to create this bread omelet. Just a couple ingredients makes a filling meal. Add some bacon ration to it for a little added flavor. Let’s get started! Mix dried egg with water. I add a…
