1 Thanksgiving side, 5 ingredients, and 1 big surprise
|
Hi friends! It’s been a busy week at our house! My daughter has rehearsals all week for her musical, so our whole family is running on a musical theater schedule right now. I love seeing how hard she’s working, and I can’t wait to see it all come together on stage! Here’s what’s new this week: 🍎 Waldorf Salad: I found this one in my grandma’s 1940s cookbook, and I love how simple it is. It has just 5 ingredients, takes about 10 minutes, and would be perfect on your Thanksgiving table. And no, there aren’t any grapes! 🍬 Old-Fashioned Cinnamon Candy: I just updated this one, also from Grandma’s 1940s cookbook, with new photos and more tips. Don’t expect Red Hots, though! It’s mild and buttery, like a Werther’s with a hint of cinnamon, and it’s so pretty in a Christmas tin. Thank you so much for being here and for making these old recipes part of your kitchen. It means more to me than you know, and I love sharing my grandma’s recipes and other favorites with you each week. Now I have to ask: what’s the one dish that has to be on your Thanksgiving table, or it just doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving? Hit reply and tell me. I’d love to hear the story behind it! Warmly, |

Hi friends! I had the day off yesterday for Veterans Day, and it gave me some time to slow down and think about my grandma. She was a veteran of World War II, and she’s also the reason this blog exists. Her cookbook is what gave me the idea to start Real Life of Lulu in the first place! So to every veteran reading this, and to your families too, thank you. We are so grateful for you. Here’s what’s new this week: 🍞 Old-Fashioned Date Nut Bread Remember the date nut bread that showed up wrapped...
Hi friends! 👋 I’m so tired this morning. Last night I helped out in the green room at my daughter’s show, and wow. Costume changes, bobby pins everywhere, and a whole lot of nervous energy packed into one small room. It was chaotic and loud, and I loved every minute of it. Watching her up on that stage made it all worth it! But my feet are still recovering, so today is a coffee and pajamas kind of Sunday. It’s also a menu planning kind of Sunday. Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than...
Hi friends! 👋 I’m moving a little slowly this morning. Halloween wiped me out! Between the costumes, the candy, and the late night, I was more than ready for bed. So waking up to an extra hour today? Best gift ever. If you’re like me, you might want to use that bonus time for something cozy. Nothing rushed. Just good food and a slow Sunday. So I pulled together four recipes that take you from breakfast all the way to dinner. 🍳 Sausage Biscuits and Gravy Casserole Start the day with a hearty,...
