Going Old School for Recipes

Made this many moons ago.

I do love scarecrows!


Hello Happy Homebuddies


Happy Fall or Spring depending on where you live. Both are lovely and are my favorite.

Since lessening my screen time on the phone, I decided to get a cookbook out, an actual book and look through it for some supper ideas. I had used this book in the early days of our marriage, it is time to dust it off and look through it once again.

Nice glossy cookbook with pictures. When I was a young girl I always took to books which had a shiny cover, I still like those today.

Some of the recipes have brand name things and you add to it. I found a recipe I wanted to make and it for Lipton Soup Mix. I don't have any on hand, I don't usually even purchase it. 

 . I found this recipe for a hack for envelope Lipton Golen Onion Soup mix.

3 tbs dried onion flakes

2 tbs beef/chicken bouillon powder

1 tbs onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp parsley

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt to taste  

Mix them all up in a bowl, add to a glass jar and keep in your pantry.

6 tsp or 3 tbs are in one packet of the Lipton Brand.

Recipe can be doubled.

Be of Good Cheer!

Thanks for the recipe. Are all the recipes in that book homemade ways to make name brand foods? I do make cream of condensed soups homemade, but that book looks interesting for sure.

No, in fact most of them use name brands as part of the recipe, because I suppose when this was published most of the women were using store bought prepared mixes and such. Much different then now. I will use the recipe but will switch out for homemade.
