a full recipe makes a lot - this bowl holds 13 cups and and it is all the way full. |
I've talked about Jo Ann York before. I read at least one magazine article about her
and remember seeing her on TV back in the late 70s.
http://healingwoman.blogspot.com/ left me a comment last week
and asked if I by chance had Jo Ann's cole slaw recipe.
Well, I did not but it got me thinking about Jo Ann again.
I've looked for this little paperbook book of hers for a while
but it usually is listed for a crazy high price.
When I looked last week, I found one
on Amazon for less than $8 so I bought it.
The seller got it to me so fast too.
Anyway, I tried the cole slaw recipe first.
I only had 1 pound of cabbage so I made just a half batch
and it is a great recipe, the kind of slaw we like.
It is not a heavy-dressed or super sweet slaw,
but is dressed just enough and the vegetables are just right.
We liked it so much, I made a half recipe on Thursday and then a full recipe today.
A little more about Jo Ann York,
this book was about how she fed her family of 4 for just
$16 a week, that translates to about $67 in 2011 dollars.
She has some great basic recipes and lots of money saving tips. I plan on cooking more of her recipes and will let you know how it goes. |
a fleet of construction vehicles that Gavin will just love and a doggie pull toy for Elizabeth $3 for all |
2 childrens books 50 cents for both |
vintage linens - still in their factory packaging 3 pairs of pillowcases and 1 twin sheet $3 for all |
stack of Corelle plates $2 I think there are 6 dinner plates and 8 sandwich plates. We saw a similar stack of Corelle at the Antique Mall today for $24. |
