Here is another salad dressing recipe. I have included my mother’s comments in quotes.
Salad Dressing
“Especially good on asparagus, but also very good on cabbage or lettuce.”
2 egg yolks, beaten well
½ tsp. mustard
½ tsp. salt
pinch of sugar
little pepper
4 tsp. melted butter and ½ cup vinegar or lemon juice
1 cup cream
Combine first 5 ingredients. Slowly beat in butter and vinegar. Cook mixture until it thickens like soap and then cool. When cool add in 1 cup cream just before serving.
That MAY BE the dressing I was getting at German restaurants when I was stationed over there. Man, I loved that dressing on shredded cabbage, carrots and mini corns.
I can’t wait to give it a try to see if it is the same. Does it look like thin milk when finished?
GLOP (don’t ask)
1 onion
2 yellow squash
2 green zucchini
Carton baby Bellas sliced
1 pound turkey or whatever protein sliced into 2 inch strips
Good olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté onion and mushrooms in olive oil until almost soft. Add zucchini and squash, cook that down. Add protein and cook until protein is done.
I put this over brown rice. It is low calorie, low fat, low sodium, high protein and low carbs. You can also add bok choy, throw it in a wok with veggie oil and add soy sauce. If you want to fatten it up a bit and gve it more flavor, add a pat or two of butter at the end.
Cost per serving including rice, about a buck fifty.
Sorry, this is not a normal recipe. However with work or lack of, and stuff, i been trying to stretch the dollar.
Next week, I will have something more palatable.
I really don’t know for certain what it looks like as I haven’t made any of these dressing recipes up, since I just found them today in my mother’s cookbook. I am assuming that these salad dressings are the same ones my mother made when I was little. My maternal grandmother and both her sisters all made the same salad dressing when I was little, so I can only assume at this point that this is the German one they all made.
The cole slaw dressing I posted earlier and this salad dressing would both appear to be white and milky dressings based on their ingredients. The ones I remember eating as a child were also milky. At this point I am hoping that these are the dressings I remember.
I was in Germany in 1975 and I remember the wonderful salad dressing I had in German restaurants too and it was very similar to the one I remember as a child. My mother was on that same trip to Germany with me and I remember her commenting that it was just like the salad dressing her grandmother had made.
The soap reference tells me that this recipe is indeed a German recipe, as only my great grandmother that was born in Germany would have used that reference, since she often told stories of her family making their own soap. I can only assume at this point in time that this recipe is like the salad dressing you and I had in Germany.
By the time I started cooking other things besides pickles, jam, and baked goods on a regular basis with my mother, we had started using a lot of store bought salad dressings in my family, so I don’t ever remember actually making any of the salad dressings.
Popular store bought salad dressings in the 1960’s that aren’t around much today in the stores are Green goddess and Nalley’s Chutney salad dressings. I also remember mixing up a lot of Good Seasons Italian Dressing that you would mix up in the bottle that sometimes came with the salad dressing mix. The dressing bottles had lines for adding the vinegar, water, and oil. I still have two of those bottles that I use when I make home made salad dressings. The rest of the store bought ones we tried are for the most part still around today.
It sounds like you will probably get the salad dressing made before I get a chance to make it and try it, since I am out of lettuce and cabbage at the moment, so I won’t be making any of them until I go to the store on Monday. Please let me know if it is the same dressing if you try it this weekend.
We have a family recipe also called glop... but ours is a means of using up leftovers. It goes as follows....
Any leftover meat, sliced into bite sized pieces.
Any cooked pasta.
Any leftover veggie.
Any “cream of” soup.
Combine and heat. You would be surprised at how well it works. Examples?
Turkey, green beans, Cream of chicken, spaghetti.
Hot dogs, peas, Cream of Tomato, egg noodles.
Roast beef, broccoli, cream of cheddar, farfale.
As you can see.... any combination will work. Make it delux glop by adding sour cream.
Your GLOP sounds good to me! My family is also on low cost dinners due to a significant drop in our monthy income last August due to a family death and unemployment. Last month I began trying to keep the total cost of our family dinners down to an average of $5 total for a for a family of 5 people.
Last month’s average was $5.50 per dinner, since we elected to splurge and get 2 family size Pizza’s from Papa Murphy’s one evening last month, and for the first three weeks of May we have an average cost of $4.41 per family dinner. It is pretty amazing how well a family can eat for $5.00 or less per meal.
Okay here is the last of the recipes my mother typed up in her cookbook that appear to be complete recipes. Once again I have included her notes in quotes.
Chili Sauce
1 tbs. Allspice
1 tbs. Cloves
1 tbs. Mace
1 tbs. Cinnamon
3 Tbs. Salt
4 quarts peeled fresh tomatoes
7 large onions
14 green peppers
1 quart vinegar
Chop vegetables into chunks. Throw all the ingredients in a large stock pot and bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook about 4 hours. Cool and puree or leave chunky, depending on how you are going to use it. Pour into bottles or jars and refrigerate.
“Great to make in a large batch and give some as gifts.”
Well, I probably won’t get to it real soon. I’m working/living in the Alaska bush so it’s hard to get ingredients. Those that I can get are expensive.
I’m headed south to California in September. May get to try it then. I have all these threads saved for later printing.
You might surprise yourself and make a batch of dressing long before me. Let me know how it comes out if you do.

This recipe was from some New England Bed and Breakfast place and I wroter it down about 40 years ago...never faikls and always compliments galore.
Thanks! It has been printed and handed over to TheGirl.
Anything in your mom's cookbook that I might try? Or anyone else?
In those days people went to the grocery store only twice per month on paydays, and refrigerators were very small. So most cooking was done with basic ingredients that were always on hand and would keep with minimal refrigeration. Women stayed at home for the most part and most had no second cars. They cooked wonderful meals with so much less than what we consider normal today. Gee I wish that I had learned to cook from my mom!
Boy, ain't THAT the truth! ;-)
I’ll jump in and say I have made this with excellent results. I’ve used milk, no cream (hard to get here) and it’s great. I’ll bet it is even better with cream!

I guess I should have added this:
By - Carla -
Recipe #135350
To me this is the only “real” Macaroni & Cheese recipe. It’s from my 1946 edition of “Fannie Farmer’s Boston Cooking School Cookbook”. With time on it’s side - this recipe is hands down the best for traditional, homemade baked macaroni & cheese - comfort food. Please Note: If you use CHEAP CHEESE you will end up with a BLAND and FLAVORLESS DISH!
Thanks, I will have to try that. And I will look farther into Fannie Farmers cooking.
Make sure you use sharp cheddar. Medium cheddar kind of gets blanded out with all the milk.
