I’ve now owned my own specialty bakery for the last 12+ years. I was lucky she was able to see my open it before she passed a few years ago.

Here are some original vintage recipe clips for cakes and frosting.

“The Holiday Cookbook” (1972), by Southern Living is a delightful vintage cookbook showing food traditions of classic American holidays. From a fancy Valentine’s Day luncheon to an Easter feast, Halloween party, Thanksgiving dinner, and Christmas gatherings, it offers a nostalgic look at 1970’s entertaining. Renowned for its Southern hospitality, it even features lesser-known holidays, like Abraham Lincoln’s and George Washington’s birthday, cherished occasions celebrated back in the day.

Southern Living was one of the most trusted voices in Southern cooking during the 1970s. It is best known for family-style meals and festive gatherings. Their holiday editions showcased traditional favorites. To showcase this, I’ve selected a few nostalgic recipes to give you some themed recipes to try this upcoming 4th of July.

Classic Scottish Shortbread

Classic Scottish Shortbread is a rich, buttery, melt-in-your mouth cookie made from butter, sugar and flour. Give these homemade cookies away in a plaid tin or box as a delightful gift to give away this holiday season. My vintage inspiration to make these cookies is from a cherished cookbook my mom gave me by the Associated Women for Shults-Lewis Child and Family Services in our Northwest Indiana town of Valparaiso.

Did you know that there are several ways shortbread can be formed into cookies? The most traditional way is of course as rectangle bars. Another option is to roll out the dough to 1/4″ and cut out shortbread into round cookies. A third option is to bake shortbread in round or square ceramic baking pan with embossing such as the Celtic knot or thistle, Scotland’s national flower and then cut into squares or scone-like wedges.
