Joanne Noragon said...: Creamed dried beef on toast--straight out of my childhood. Only mom called it chipped beef. I have a friend who still makes it for lunch sometimes when I'm visiting.; February 21, 2012 at 7:35 PM
Elaine said...: Your family are so lucky to have this piece of family history, all bound up with love. What a great family treasure; it is beyond price.; February 21, 2012 at 9:32 PM
Linda Starr said...: Oh my mom used to make creamed tuna on toast and I had forgotten all about it, how wonderful to learn about these unique recipes.; February 22, 2012 at 1:43 AM
Cheryl Kohan said...: What fun! Talk about a flash from the past! WE made all of those things. We didn't make the beans on toast like that but we did put beans on toast. I still do...love it.; February 22, 2012 at 1:03 PM
Kittie Howard said...: Creamed beef on toast is my hub's absolute favorite in the winter. I'd never heard of it until we married, asked around, and wow, it is delicious (but I have to watch calories much more than he does.) Thanks for the pork 'n beans recipe, will have to try this, YUM!; February 22, 2012 at 3:28 PM
Sparrow chic said...: I never realized we did not have boxed macaroni and chesse as kids. It does explain why it was such a treat when I moved out on my own tho.; February 22, 2012 at 4:58 PM
