Elvis died 45 years ago today at age 42. FORTY-TWO. Wrap your head around that. It’s wild to think that if he didn’t pass back in 1977, today he’d be 87. He could conceivably still be recording and performing*** Look at Tony Bennett, he was duetting with Lady Gaga up until 95! Randomly placing thisContinue reading The Presley Family Cookbook: Elvis’ Green Eagle Dish with Eggs (1989)
With so many of these cards, I do a little internet search as to whether or not the dish exists somewhere outside of the culinary world that is Dinner Is Served. A quick google of “Florentine Meat Foldovers” returns with Steak Florentine, Florentine Spaghetti Bake, and Beef Wellington (!?!?) Aside from the Wellington, I assumeContinue reading 211.

Happy Lunar New Year! It’s the Year of the Ox! I wasn’t planning on having some Asian cuisine on the blog for the holiday, but I had this dinner in the queue, so here we are. These recipes are from The Joy of Chinese Cooking by Lo Mei Hing, Giulia Marzotto Caotorta and Sun TziContinue reading The Joys of Chinese Cooking: Sweet & Sour Pork and Bamboo Shoots with Spinach and Mushrooms (1982)
Feud Foods™ continues today with Bette Davis’ Spinach-Stuffed Filets! I found this recipe in Johna Blinn’s newspaper column, Celebrity Cookbook (Click on the image to zoom in for the recipe). Things I learned about Bette Davis in this article: She owns many cookbooks and detests wasting food. “I’m not a penurious woman, but toContinue reading Bette Davis’ Spinach-Stuffed Filets
Hi, kittens! Welcome to DiS1972! Since it’s Sunday, and tonight I’ll be watching FEUD: Bette & Joan on FX, I’m serving up another one of Joan Crawford’s recipes. This one comes from an article in the November 1, 1965 issue of Vogue. The article features a number of recipes, but since I already had spinachContinue reading Joan Crawford’s Spinach Salad
Seasons greetings, kittens! I have been at Casa de Mum & Dad for the past few days and we’re getting our holly jolly on. Yesterday my mum and I drove up to scenic Zelienople, PA to pick up our Christmas ham at Herb Brittner’s Smokehouse and Radiator Shop. We stopped by Carol’s Bakery on MainContinue reading Bisquick Impossible Brunch Pie
Thanksgiving is fast approaching! Were you invited to a last-minute Friendsgiving and need to bring a dish? Did you burn the green bean casserole and need a quick substitution? Well, I’ve got a perfect dish for you. You probably already have all of the ingredients in your refrigerator. It’s Spinach Delicious! I made this lastContinue reading Better Homes & Gardens Vegetable Cookbook: Spinach Delicious
Another full meal from Dinner is Served! I made this in January on some Sunday night when Todd and Leah came over. I cannot remember whether it was cold or not when I made it, but I think that pork chops call for cold weather. Or at least sweater weather. Which is why I findContinue reading 38. Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Kittens, this dinner, #15, you wanna know how long ago I made this? I made it back in February to commemorate the 2-year anniversary of Dinner is Served! 1972, and my 2 year anniversary with Brian! That’s a loooong time ago. You may recall the cake I made: But before the cake, DiS! regulars LeahContinue reading 15. Pork Chops Florentine
I filed this meal under ground beef (I have separated all of the Dinner is Served! cards by main protein), but the day I made #22 I didn’t want to have meat. I was sick of it. It might have been the 24 oz. prime rib that I watched Cleve take down at the GoldenContinue reading 22. Manicotti
