1950's Dinner Ideas!

[@orsie200]

I actually own that Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook. It was a wedding gift given to me by my Sister when I married in 1964. It’s full of great recipes, and helped me learn how to cook as a newlywed.

[@monicahamm3353]

I own it too. Got mine in the early 1990's..... when I was just starting out in my own home and needed a cookbook that covered everything....... Still have it and use some of their tried and true recipes to this day!

[@judytieger8976]

I have the Betty Crocker cookbook from when I was married in 1962. I go through it sometimes to make something different.

[@jacquelynannehoward]

That cookbook is the pride of my husband's collection,it was the only thing he wanted when his mom passed away.

[@es1442]

I have it too! It is probably one of the best cookbooks I’ve ever bought 😊

[@ParkParks93]

I havent been feeling the best today and this happy little video just popped up in my subs. You never fail to put me in a happier, more relaxed mood! Lots of love from Ireland xx

[@Xxxxxx19-p1c]

Hello from southern Indiana! I’ve always been curious about weather in your part of the world. Is it windy all the time? Chilly? Damp?

[@carolsummers8734]

I think it is her poise and voice. Very enjoyable.

[@ParkParks93]

@ILoveOldDolls ha! It can be all of those things but generally speaking... pretty mild and damp. We can get some lovely warm spring and summer days though!

[@Xxxxxx19-p1c]

@@ParkParks93 My son was recently in Ireland for a look around. He was stationed in Italy and really enjoyed his visits to various places in Europe. He said Ireland is gorgeous and hopes to return. Interestingly, I recent did the Ancestry DNA. My family always talks about our Native American heritage, as my mother was born on a Mohawk reservation. I was surprised to find out I am 48% Irish! That explains my son’s ginger hair! Thank you for responding, I greatly appreciate it. 🌺

とても美味しそうです✨ 日本人なので言葉は通じませんでしたが、美味しそうなのは伝わりました❤️ 素敵なビデオをありがとう🌸

[@debbiemize2269]

I so enjoyed this! I am a child of the 50s and a bride of the 70s. I grew up on some of these (in Texas, USA) and still make them today! In fact, I have a meatloaf in the oven as I was watching this! I take the easy way out, though, and bake potatoes as the meatloaf is cooking. Add a salad and supper is ready!

[@angelinaduganNy]

I was born in the 70's and grew up in the 80's and 90's up here in New York. My grandmother was born in the 20's and she made some of these recipes. I loved her meatloaf. I don't make meatloaf anymore because my family does not approve.

[@rubybaiza]

I love how soft your voice your videos are my go to’s when I’m feeling overwhelmed with the world 🤍🤍🤍

[@kariconant3488]

My grandma used to put the ham bone in the soup from Christmas dinner to make pea soup. It was incredible.

[@ruggedmountainhomestead]

Welcome Back Sage! I love the video and use the 1950s Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, myself. Being American I also especially like to see the recipes from your Australian vintage cookbooks. xo

[@carolsummers8734]

That cookbook is a family staple.

[@mslaurateague]

WINNER WINNER FISH PIE DINNER! 🎉 HUSBAND LOVED IT! We’ll make this often! Thank you for sharing the recipe @sageLillyman

[@KittySkeed]

Next time you want to cut something, use scissors. I use my kitchen scissors to cut pizza, veggies, lettuce for salads and I've even used my scissors to cut bread into perfect pieces lol. I really appreciate how beautifully produced your videos are. I get so excited when a new one pops up in my subscriptions. Keep it up!

[@a1orski]

Anyone willing to make a homemade meal from scratch will never be lonely. Nice job young lady.

[@laurahemenway4608]

My mom would add dumplings to the pea soup. Yum!

[@salbo5248]

Saving this video! I love the vintage cookbooks because the recipes use basic ingredients that you probably have most of in the pantry. Modern recipes always have huge lists of very specific ingredients and are not very economical! Fabulous video!

[@priestessthea]

Well done, classy and relaxing. Thank you SO much Sage! ❤

[@sanem7884]

Looks delish

[@Trillz27]

I'm gonna have to try some of these. Btw your entire 50s/60s vibe is amazing. I love the music and scenery of those times

[@johnalonzo9945]

Hi Sage, I think you have the best intro, "Hello darlings". 😊 These look so good, especially the Pizza loaf. I wish there was a Sage Restaurant near me. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos and saying hi from S. California. 🥰

[@SageLilleyman]

Aw thank you so much! 😊

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@@SageLilleyman I watched your other videos from 2-3 years ago and you were making meals for either you are James that didn’t have meat in them (not sure which one was a vegetarian/vegan). It made me happy to see at least one of you didn’t eat meat, but I guess that’s over with now? Everything has meat in it here! :(

[@allmylovetolongago7605]

Fish pie is not common in America, I make a British version that is topped with mashed potato, it’s quite different from this one. I’ll have to give this one a try as well.

[@ThompsonSmith-dd2lo]

Hello dear How are you doing today?

[@BookiesInk]

I found it interesting because it was similar to what my Irish friend described his Mother making…and he’s not from the 50’s 😂

[@monicahamm3353]

we often make a Mexican Fish Pie here in California........ fish, salsa, grated cheese and crunched up tortilla chips in a pie dish or casserole, and bake. It's a quick easy dinner.

[@LovatoMx]

​@@monicahamm3353wow! I've never heard of that, sounds very interesting!

[@lauraflores5777]

@@monicahamm3353 would love for you to share that recipe!

[@laylal8353]

Just as a suggestion, anchovy works great as an alternative to MSG for the spaghetti sauce! It's far more authentic and is actually considered the "MSG of Italian cooking". And it doesn't taste fishy at all once it breaks down, just beautifully salty!

[@Jenngail22]

Loved this video! Start doing more cooking videos please! It’s awesome learning older recipes. I am from Canada and have a few recipes my granny taught me, I could send them too you! ❤

These look wonderful! I am always looking for recipes like these to try, so I am putting them on the menu for this week! Always enjoy your videos, Sage! 💜

[@claremiller9979]

I have a newer version of the Common Sense cookery book! I love it, it's the best reference for basic stuff like "how long do i need to roast this type of meat" and "how do you make white sauce". The recipes are so simple, with a few complex ones thrown in, and they are all classics.

[@taniaverolin8400]

Thankyou Sage ❤️ love your videos Have a wonderful day 💗☺️

[@ilovelucy123]

My Mom used to make very similar dish to the fish pie You showed! She used to sautee onions first and then layer them on top of fish, then put sliced canned peaches on top. Trust me it's delicious! She served it with white rice. Salty and sweet, very light, easy but secial at the same time. Mabye You'll try that version too!

5:00 Cut fresh Mozzarella, (or other solf foods) with thread. Wrap the thread around the mozzarella or other (like cinnamon rolls or cookie dough) so that it forms a circle as thick as you like and then pull the thread tight. The thread will cut right through.

My mum who would have been 90 this year made something similar when i was growing up in 70's 80's. Instead of milk she added water to the white sauce and lemon juice and fried up onions and layered it like this.

[@71mrspeel]

My mom made the fish pie recipe back in the 70s . I funny enough still make this ! She used salmon bechamel sauce =white sause and mashed potatoes. breadcrumbs on top of potatoes. Bake till crisp!😊❤ love this video!! ❤ from the US!

[@jenniferpingleton8389]

I bet glazing the meatloaf with jarred pizza sauce would be awesome! It looks so good!!

[@FirebreathingVegan1]

My father used to make "halibut Olympia" when I was a kid and it was made just like this and I loved it!

[@marabanara]

Hi Sage! Can I suggest a knife sharpener? Just make sure you sharpen it over a surface you can wipe down before cooking and rinse the knife. That will avoid tiny medal shavings in the food. But you definitely need to sharpen your knives. Things like slicing the mozzarella or even the onion will be MUCH easier. Another tip for slicing or shredding cheese: pop into the freezer for a little bit before slicing or grating. It falls apart much less, and I find leaves less of the cheese on the knife or grater. Love seeing old fashioned cooking on your videos. I’m not Australian by birth or background but was raised here and married an Aussie. I was not always the biggest fan of traditional old school Aussie/English food but I grew to appreciate much of it. My husband’s grandmothers cooked that way. And even when I learned cooking at school, our textbook was Cookery The Australian Way! My mother in law still had her copy from the 70s, mine was slightly updated but still mostly the same recipes and information. I do cook Chilean food too, but I didn’t for ages as I was sick of it growing up 😅 now I’m appreciating my mum’s cooking so much more and cooking it myself. I made a version of Fish Pie when times have been hard with canned fish, oftentimes canned salmon. With onion. Very similar to your recipe.

[@teresavoegele5114]

I was born in 1950, husband in 1948. I remember my Mom making salmon croquettes, meatloaf, chicken rice soup, homemade apple pies from scratch, cinnamon & sugar sprinkled over the leftover dough, then rolled up, cut and baked, we called them pinwheels. My husband remembers his Mom making tuna casserole, a meat (steak or breaded porkchops) with mashed potatoes & gravy with a canned vegetable, spaghetti & meatballs, sausage & sauerkraut with mashed potatoes. My Mom made the best German potato salad! Also the most delicious sauerbraten, which we called sour meat noodles.

Chop up a salmon with skin into cubes and add. I don't mind skin, but it will add flavor and you can scoop it out. Then I add a half cup rice, lemon zest, half a juiced lemon, a ton of dill, salt and pepper. Boil and then simmer and add cream or oatmilk. And your done!
