I was a young adult in the 1980’s. It feels weird to me that cookbooks I bought new in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s are considered vintage today. It’s interesting to me to watch the changes in food trends over the years. I really enjoy your meals from different decades videos. They bring back memories for me. Some of my earliest field trips as a child in the 1970’s were to a tortilla factory (and got fresh, warm flour tortillas), and an ice cream factory (and got some ice cream sandwiches). There were also trips to the zoo, the aquarium, the planetarium, museums, pumpkin farms, an orchid farm, operas, ballets, plays, etc.

In 2nd or 3rd grade in the early 60s we went to the Wonder Bread/Hostess factory. I remember being on a catwalk peering down over huge vats of bread dough. The best part was the little bag of goodies we all got after the tour with a Hostess cupcake, a wooden ruler and the best thing ever, a mini loaf of Wonder bread.

This is what my mother used to do and what I still do. Anyway the first time I was making chicken n dumplings with the leftovers, making broth by simmering the carcass, I called my mother to get recipe for dumplings, she advised me to go purchase a box of bisquick and follow the recipe.

She'd make it in the morning and the hotdog would still be warm by lunchtime. The bread (not bun) had all the condiments on it already and I just had to put the hotdog on the bread. I absolutely LOOOVED that lunch and I always thought I was super special in the class because I was having a HOTDOG for lunch, and the rest of the kids were having "just sandwiches"... lol.

Our lunches when out on field trips were usually jam and cheese (usually cheddar) sandwiches and some sort of dessert and a bottle of water (because nothing there would spoil in the heat). I didn't realize anyone else did jam and cheese sandwiches until I read a 1950s cookbook in college. As a farm kid, we also had "field meals" which were meals for when we accompanied dad to the field because mom was working and planting or harvest had to get done. Those were some sort of canned meat salad sandwiches (usuallyat least 12 sandwiches) in an Igloo box cooler with a large ice pack, a large box of donut holes, and two large insulated water jugs full of water.

My field trip lunches consisted of a ham and cheese sandwich, some chips-usually barbecue, an apple or banana, and something hostess like a twinkie or a suzie q with a foil wrapped Pepsi or Grape Nehi. Most of our field trips were to different areas at Land Between the Lakes like the planetarium or the Homestead where theyd teach us things about the 1800s and show us how to make things like dipping our own candles which we made then got to take home. The candle dipping one is one of my earliest field trips and inspired me to ruin on of my moms pots by melting all of my old and broken candles together on the stove and making more candles.

1. I was born in Ohio but I’m not from Ohio so that might be the difference but we always froze a juice box to use as an ice pack for our 80s kid lunches. We then had fruit snacks (why were they shaped like sharks?) carrot sticks, and grapes an apple or a banana (I preferred the apple). My favorite sandwich is just peanut butter. 2. Coco wheats- I adore coco wheats, we added hot cocoa mix to them to make them more chocolatey. The best way to cook it is to mix part of the water into the cereal before you heat it, that way you don’t get as many lumps. 3. Now I really want vegetables beef soup. Mom used the frozen mixed veggies with the Lima beans and then when it was 1/2 done she added cabbage. I feel like cabbage in soup gets overlooked now. If you want a great vintage cookbook, hunt up a copy of Diet for a Small Planet. Mom bought it in like 77 when she was vegetarian in college- the hippy health food is so….70s.

Hi Anna! Very fun meals. The cheese sandwich looked the best! I was born in '61. The first field trip I remember was to Rye Beach in New York. This was an amusement park and I remember that I had a fantastic time. I do remember my mom wrapping a can of soda in aluminum foil. Growing up in that era my mom made me a brown bag lunch every day. Our school didn't have lunches but we had to give 'milk money' every week to buy a small carton of milk to drink with lunch. Typical lunches for me would be a pb&j sandwich or Genoa salami sandwich with a piece of fruit.

I just added my comment then I saw yours. Grew up the in same era and had the same lunches. We had a hot lunch at school bur I rarely ate it since I could leave school and walk home for a meal if I didn't have a sandwich (yes, they let a first grader leave school grounds on their own back then). A school trip I remember from elementary school was to tbe Museum of Natural History in NY. I don't know how the teacher handled a class of 30 or 35 kids on the subway from The Bronx but we all arrived with none lost.

Yes girl, field trip always meant a soda can wrapped in aluminum foil! Always excited that I got to have my own soda at lunch on the field trip also on field day.

In the 60s and 70s, we packed lunch daily. Always had egg salad or liver worst. Kids used to comment on my smelly lunches. We weren't allowed to drink soda. That was a treat.

@ellenriddick2461 I had to giggle at your misspelling, since many people dislike liver. Anyway, the spelling is _liverwurst_ with _wurst_ being German for _sausage._ Just thought you'd like to know that you gave me a chuckle this morning. :-)

Edna Eby Heller’s cookbook is one of my favorites! My parents bought it when they lived in Pennsylvania back in the 70s. I love Edna’s style of writing and the descriptions she gives of the recipes and Pennsylvania Dutch culture!

@BetteStewart Sanders yes. The others I may have heard of but Hudson's closed when I was in elementary school. I went there once but I don't remember it. My mom would talk about it, usually around Christmas. I'm not sure about the market. I grew up to 18 at Michigan & Martin, about a mile from Livernois. We didn't have a car until I was 14 so we didn't get to a lot of places very much.

Oh this video sent me down memory lane. I’m going to only share the good memory because well school for me was not pleasant but the good memory I have is my mom made a really delicious hamburger vegetable soup that started with a box of hamburger helper! Does anybody else remember that recipe? And she also made a homemade bread with it that was a cottage cheese dill bread from the Mary Moore cookbook. I don’t know if you get your hands on that cookbook. It’s Canadian and it was one of my vintage cookbooks that was lost in a cross country move. I managed to track down a copy on Amazon. If you can find a copy on Amazon or on one of your vintage book halls I think you would really enjoy it. ❤️🇨🇦🥣🍞

I need to track down her binder of recipes! I thought I had it out. I remember they came out with a bunch of different recipes kind of one for each flavour in the early 80s. I’ll see what I can find. 👩🏻🍳 - Found It - Courtesy of my mom's green binder. That book many of us had at home with hand written and clipped recipes. I think this recipe is from the early 80s or maybe the late 70s. That expression about time being elastic as you get older and dates being smooshed together is very true. 🤣 Hamburger Helper Beef Vegetable Soup - as taken from the clipped advertisement 1 lb. Ground beef 1/2 cup Onion ; chopped 1 package Beef Noodle Hamburger Helper 5 cups water ; warm or hot 1 Bay leaf 1/4 tsp. Salt 1/8 tsp. Pepper 1 can stewed tomatoes 1 package frozen mixed vegetables ; or 2 cups cooked vegetables Cook and stir ground beef and onion in Dutch Oven (at least 5 quart size) until beef is brown; drain. Stir in warm water, sauce mix (make sure to dissolve in water), bay leaf, salt, pepper and tomatoes (with liquid); break up tomatoes with fork. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Stir in noodles and vegetables; cover and cook 10 minutes longer.

I ❤ your videos. First field trip: 3rd grade, Little Creek Elementary, Virginia, @ 1960, to a dairy factory where we saw them make all kinds of dairy-related stuff - ice cream, bottling milk and filling those little house-like waxed cardboard containers, butter, annnnnd we got to actually make cottage cheese!!! The factory gave us each a dixie cup to have with our lunch, and a little flat wooden “spoon” to eat our very exotic half chocolate-half vanilla cup of ice cream. Later that year we went to a bakery factory - THAT trip smelled wonderful! They gave us those sno-balls like you had in your lunch.
