One of my hobbies is finding and saving old books.  It used to be any type of book but now my favorites are cookbooks and the older the better.  Well, I found this awesome site that for me is even more exciting.  Ok, not more exciting as finding a 1902 Bible and its hand-colored illustrations still bright and colorful, but close.  The site I’m talking about is called Feeding America.

Feeding America is a project. It has created an online digital collection of American cookbooks. These cookbooks are from the late 18th to the early 20th century.  So far Michigan State University has digitized 76 cookbooks!  The best part is that they are searchable!  If you’re curious about what your great great grandmother have cooked for Sunday dinner, you’ll find something similar. You can discover it in one of the cookbooks.

Well, my latest adventure is a recipe from the next book:  “A Century Of Good Cooking”.  This cookbook was compiled by the Pinson Memorial United Methodist Church and printed in 1993.  Not a very old book, but I thought I’d give one of the many recipes a try.  This week it’s:
