These Old Time Recipes from the file of Mrs. Johnson who  lived in Canadian, Texas. She had a number of recipes she saved from the local newspaper, magazines and friends. Most recipes date back to the 40s, 50s, and 60s. She had a unique way of storing her recipes. After she cut them out she pasted them into an old catalog. Thank you Ida Lancaster for sharing your mother’s recipes with us.
