Looking for a recipe booklet that came with some appliance or other, I was sorting though a kitchen drawer where I keep such things and almost immediately the above booklet caught my eye: Crisco Holiday Favorites, brought to you by Loretta Lynn. Who could resist pulling it out and taking a closer look? Certainly not me.
It's not old vintage -- probably from the early 1990s -- but it is fun nonetheless.
Doesn't this cheesecake look yummy? It can be topped with any fruit.
The cookies below look wonderful. Quintessential Christmas cookies. The spritz can be made in any shape. Again, a pretty basic recipe but isn't it fun to see what one can do with a cookie press? And the coconut thumbprints have such a festive look!
And there you have it. I think the recipes are probably clear enough so you could cook from them if you chose to. (If not, double-clicking on the photos could help.) What would you make from this booklet?
I love that this cookbook is affiliated with Loretta Lynn! I think I remember her being in Crisco commercials years ago. I would probably make the coconut thumbprints. They look great!
ReplyDeleteThey do look good, don't they? So very festive in their shades of red, green, and white!
DeleteThose all look yummy!! I love those fun little cookbooks and used to have some, but I think I've eliminated a lot of them over the years if I didn't use them. Thank you for sharing this. It gives me some new ideas!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good to eliminate a stash these over the years. I just haven't been able to bring myself to do so. Now that I'm selling a few, I'll probably move forward with selling more.
