A Vintage Christmas

Saturday, December 22, 2018 4:42

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Growing up in the 1950′s and 60′s I had a most wonderful childhood. Christmas was an especially wonderful time of year for me, filled with abundance . . . faith, love, family . . . it truly was a season of light.

We didn’t get a lot of treats the rest of the year, with perhaps the exception of Easter, along with the occasional pie or birthday cake . . . but at Christmas my mom would pull out the stops and our family kitchen was filled with lovely smells and tastes. Some of those special bakes came from a Robin Hood Baking Leaflet. All of the flour companies used to put out special baking leaflets at Christmas time. You could pick them up free at the grocery stores, or in magazines, etc.

This little booklet is filled with the Christmas flavours of my childhood.

I wanted to give you all something special for Christmas, something I thought you would use and so I scanned the whole booklet and it is my gift to you. It is filled with lovelies such as Holiday Gems, Lemon Glaces, Christmas Shortbreads, Melting Moments, etc., a whole variety of Christmas cookies, yeast breads, quick breads, cakes, pastries, doughnuts and pies to help to make your Christmas holidays the best ever.

Just click on the link below and it will take you to a PDF file which contains the whole booket, which you can download and keep for yourself. Just click the three words below and it will take you to the right spot to get it for free.
