Six recipes from The Free Press, Elgin, Illinois, 1970

In a bag of recipes, some handwritten, some clipped from newspapers or magazines, I found six that were clipped from the Free Press newspaper.

None of them look very healthy and only a few look appetizing.

Barbecued Short Ribs

I might actually make this recipe — it doesn’t look too bad.

Italian Rice

I’d call this recipe “Spanish Rice” instead of “Italian Rice.” I might make it because Dean likes Spanish Rice.

Quick Bean Broth

This recipe confuses me. Why would you take a small can of pork and beans, add over 4 times as much liquid and a tiny amount of onion? How can this be in any way tasty? I think I will pass on this one.

Crisp Cherry Surprise

I hate to admit that this sounds kind of tasty too. But unhealthy! I might try it if we host a 1970 themed party sometime.

Butterscotch Pudding Cookie and Pumpkin Bread

I might make these too. Just for “old time’s sake.”
