I have some of my Mom’s old Workbasket magazines . Moma and my Granny use to split the subscription because it was four dollars a year. Lol Each magazine has a few recipes in it. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting some of them. Here’s a page from the March 1959.

      I just baked the ginger cookies. I couldn’t taste the ginger but the molasses gave them a very good flavor. I baked them at 350 for twenty minutes. I think 15 minutes would have been better.

    I have both of my grandmothers clippings from their local newspaper as well. They are a treasure. I alter them a bit to accommodate my health. I would like to view some of your collection. Thanks

      What a treasure of information they are. The way they reused everything from Clorox bottles to tin cans is amazing to me. I find a lot of crochet patterns in them too
