This is the other half of the May 1940 Ann Page Foods ad I posted earlier. You can see the whole thing on my blog if you want to. The link is in my bio.

Here is part of a May 1940 advertisement for Ann Page Foods. This is a good idea for those of you with bountiful tomato crops this summer. You can see the rest of the ad on my blog. Link is in my bio. I’ll probably make another post with the ad’s other recipe here, too.

These are some of the menus I posted on my blog for June’s First Monday Menu. You can find more menus and a couple more recipes over there—the link is in my bio. These are from a great little booklet from 1943 called “How to Pack Lunch Boxes for War Workers”.

Blackeyed Bean Casserole, 1943

This is a house and it’s floor plan featured in the May 1943 issue of “The American Home” magazine. There’s also an interesting description of the home. I want to start looking at what homes in the early 1940s looked like. What changed during the war? What did women dream about when planning their post-war kitchens, and how did advertisers use that to their advantage? How were women decorating before and during the war? I want to add this to the usual recipes and topics we talk about. We’ll definitely still have the recipes! 🙂
