Another dish from earlier in 2019–I couldn’t even tell you when. But I will tell you that this here is the easiest and tastiest guacamole recipe ever, and the one that I will be using from now until the day I die.

190. Chicken Fried Steak
Another Dinner is Served 1972 recipe card, and another dish that I basically have no recollection of because I made it back in May. Yes, MAY. I am nearing the one-year mark for some of these posts. Ridiculous! THIS is why I’m asking yinz to get on my ass if I don’t post at leastContinue reading 190. Chicken Fried Steak
Jellygrill Sandwich
I’ve been intending to make the Velveeta Jellygrill Sandwich for months now. On my week off, I finally made it.
New Orleans Shrimp Remoulade (1986)
Happy Fat Tuesday!* I made a New Orleans classic for the occasion. At least a “classic” is how it’s described in The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American**. It’s in the New Orleans chapter. Never having this dish before, I had no idea what to expect (although don’t they sometimes call tartar sauce remoulade?)*** So I amContinue reading New Orleans Shrimp Remoulade (1986)
The Joys of Jell-O: Lemon Pudding Squares (1981)
This is the second “preview dish” for the upcoming 182. Liver ‘N Onions. And it’s the second one featuring Jell-O for National Jell-O Week! Here is the menu from 182. Earlier this week, I presented the Sunset Salad that subbed for a Perfection Salad and here is Lemon Pudding Squares, taking the place of the CherryContinue reading The Joys of Jell-O: Lemon Pudding Squares (1981)
Joys of Jello: Sunset Salad (1963)
This dish is part of an upcoming DiS1972 dinner–Liver ‘N Onions.
181. Gourmet Eggs
I made brunch! Over the summer (yes, the summer), I hosted some of Mr. Sauce’s friends for a Sunday Brunch. Although, I was wary of this one–baking eggs that were already hard boiled–but this was flat-out yummy. I just wish that I had better pictures of it. To be honest, I just wish I hadContinue reading 181. Gourmet Eggs
Lunar New Year Snicky Snacks (1982)
Happy Lunar New Year! To celebrate the new year (and my upcoming birthday) Mr. Sauce took me out on Saturday night for Korean BBQ and to see the new Nicolas Cage movie. If you like Nicolas Cage, horror, camp, and alpacas, boy is this the movie for you! I wouldn’t say that it is necessarilyContinue reading Lunar New Year Snicky Snacks (1982)
Sophia Loren’s Minestrone (1972)
FYI, January is National Soup Month. I have wanted a copy of this book for quite some time. Essentially since I stumbled upon this picture about 9 years ago: So many questions: Where did this picture come from? Why is Sophia Loren holding big utensils to her face? Why does she look so damn sad?Continue reading Sophia Loren’s Minestrone (1972)
Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery Volume 8: Pickled Mushrooms (1966)
So we’re at that point again where I’m going through my camera roll and my notes and rediscovering all of the recipes I’ve made over the last year but never got to posting. (Holly Ball 2019 will remain in the vault until the 2020 holiday season).
Happy New Year! Sherry Wine Cheese Spread (1980)
So back in 2019 (one week ago) I was invited to a New Year’s Eve party at the home of some of Mr. Sauce’s dear college friends. Me, being me, I always have to bring something to a party–and if it’s a dish from my collection of cookbooks, that’s even better. But what to choose?Continue reading Happy New Year! Sherry Wine Cheese Spread (1980)
Spangler’s Circus Peanut Salad (1976)
Greetings and salutations! It’s been a while since I’ve unmolded something for the blog. And I angered a lot of people with my Jell-O fail on Christmas Eve:
Veal (Chicken) alla Marsala (1978)
Do you ever have a OMG I need to eat that craving but then realize that you don’t have the money to go out to dinner so you gotta do it yourself? Well, that was me with this Marsala dish. Big craving and I already had chicken and mushrooms on hand. So I had theContinue reading Veal (Chicken) alla Marsala (1978)
122. Hash Squash Bake
OMG. Can it be? Can it really be? Can it be FALL?*** It sure feels like autumn this weekend–although I am skeptical that it’s going to stick around. I mean, it was 90+ degrees less than a week ago. But regardless, I am going to say that it IS fall! And how should I welcomeContinue reading 122. Hash Squash Bake
Re-Chopped: Polynesian Pork & Pineapple Skewer with Applesauce Puree
So, almost one month later, I decided to try to re-make my Chopped appetizer—same ingredients and same time frame. In case you forgot—the ingredients were pork chops, apple sauce, frozen mixed vegetables, and cheese ball. This is was my television result: For the re-do the only thing I had to buy was the pork.Continue reading Re-Chopped: Polynesian Pork & Pineapple Skewer with Applesauce Puree
Two-Way Recipes: Cherry Waldorf Salad (1963)
With mayonnaise it’s a salad, but with whipped cream, it’s a dessert! You laugh, but that’s how the 1963 edition of The Joys of Jell-O intended it to be! When you serve them as desserts, garnish with prepared dessert topping or whipped cream. As salads, unmold them on crisp greens and top withContinue reading Two-Way Recipes: Cherry Waldorf Salad (1963)
I Was Chopped!
Greetings and salutations! To those of you who are here because of my stellar appearance on Chopped– Welcome to Dinner is Served 1972! After reading about the show I hope you’ll stick around a bit and peruse the site–eight years of cooking up food from the past–both delicious and disgusting! And then maybe you canContinue reading I Was Chopped!

If you follow me on social media, I know you that you know that Dinner is Served 1972 is going to appear this week on Food Network’s Chopped. But if you don’t follow me on social media–guess what? Dinner is Served 1972 is appearing on Chopped! The episode is called A Very Brady Chopped. SoContinue reading Florence Henderson’s “Wessonality” Chef Salad (1980)
