Recipe originated from Europe-England, France, etc.Food52This simple, one-bowl wacky cake recipe became popular in the great depression. It’s conveniently vegan, and allergen-friendly. It contains no nuts either.Food52This is the original Jiffy Corn Casserole recipe, which first appeared in the 1960s as a recipe tear-off sheet in retail grocery stores. There are hundreds of versions of this recipe on the internet, but this is the real deal. It was later published on the first-ever Jiffy recipe box in 1976. Originally, the beloved side dish was called “Corn Bowl” and today, the brand calls it “Spoon Bread Casserole.” However, it’s best known by its nickname: Corn Casserole. For as long as I can remember, my grandmother made this Corn Casserole recipe for Thanksgiving. For some families, Thanksgiving isn’t complete without cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows, and of course the turkey. But for me, I’d pass up everything else for this recipe. I’ve made her version over the years and while it’s nearly identical to the original, there are a couple of notable differences. I was surprised to see that the original recipe by Jiffy called for margarine, rather than butter. But it makes sense! Margarine was popular during the Great Depression because it was less expensive to produce, and it was used even more widely during the second half of the 20th century, which was when this recipe was developed. Grandma and I have always made corn casserole with unsalted butter, but this Thanksgiving may be margarine’s turn. After all, it’s how Jiffy intended their recipe to be made. Additionally, Jiffy’s version is a one-bowl recipe, which results in fewer dirty dishes on Thanksgiving (certainly something no home cook will complain about). The recipe calls for mixing all of the ingredients together in a casserole dish and then baking it in the same pan. I find that the combination of muffin mix, two cans of corn, sour cream, butter, and eggs require a *lot* of mixing to become one creamy, homogeneous mixture so I prefer to do this in a separate bowl, just to avoid any overflow or spatters of batter on the counter. Fortunately, there are so many rich, fatty ingredients in the casserole that it’s nearly impossible to overmix the batter and create a dry, chewy casserole. That’s just not the Jiffy way.

Yummy!!Food52At a recent benefit (Bubble Foundation, NYC) that I assisted in the preparation of foods, a gluten free cookie was served. I started thinking about adapting some of my baked goods to be gluten free also. This one fell right into place as it was practically gluten free to begin with. My great grandmother appears to have had a love affair with dates and nuts. Some of her other recipes were date nut bread, date nut bars, and a cake. Judging from a bit of research, cooking with dates and nuts was not uncommon during the Depression era. This date and nut baked pudding is a great example of a pudding that did not have to be watched on the stove, freeing the cook to do other things while it baked. Dates added sweetness when sugar was at a premium price and nuts were often free for the picking (from the ground when they fell) in many parts of the country. There is only a smidgen of flour and butter here. Eggs and milk were most likely provided by a local farmer (in Ohio where my great grandmother lived). She was the wife of a dentist and I know from my grandmother that they were often paid in goods and services in lieu of cash during those lean times. I took the liberty of gussying up my great grandmother's recipe by adding some chocolate and espresso to this already tasty recipe. It is also a one bowl affair which is always a plus.Sep 29, 2022 · Learn how to cook with simple and affordable ingredients from the Depression era.

- Meatloaf. If you've lived in the States long enough, you've probably had meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes and vegetables. While the name sounds pretty unappetizing, this seasoned loaf of meat is actually quite delicious and is highly versatile (basically, you can throw anything you have on hand inside of it).
- Chili. A popular dish that fed a family in the Great Depression was one that is still familiar today: chili. Yes, this thick, tomato-based soup was quite the hearty meal as it capitalized on beans, which were both cheap and filling.
- Macaroni and Cheese. Yet another dish that can be made in bulk, macaroni and cheese, is a holiday staple in American cuisine. Commonly made on Thanksgiving and Christmas, this luxuriously decadent food has well surpassed its popularity in the early 1900s.
- Chipped Beef and Toast. Still served in diners across the US, chipped beef and toast are somewhat of an underrated breakfast/dinner option. Like every other recipe on this list, the ingredients are inexpensive, and it'll fill you up for pretty much the whole day (plus, it tastes pretty good too).
