Busy Baker Cracker Ad, c1955

This ad is about three steps away from becoming a French bedroom farce.
From Everywoman's magazine.

The meat makes it an opulent image, no matter which Great Depression you're in!

(L) "Dainty enough for a woman, but nut-like enough for a man." Uh, okay.
(R) So what are they telling us by placing that meat-infused, manly entree on a lavender plate? [scratches head]

(L) Remember, America: Dark, leafy greens are only to accompany your salad if they're served on the side, preferably in the next room.

Don't get me wrong. I love me some homemade mac 'n cheese, even when my wallet is full, but this arrangement is almost fatally drab in appearance. (Lima beans-- shudder!) This meal could've used help from the Lavender Patrol back on Page 3.
Water Maid/Mahatma Rice Ad, 1952

Stuffed peppers?! <3 <3 That baby-faced "come hither" look is completely unnecessary, My Dear!
From the September issue of Everywoman's magazine.
Clock-Wise Cereal Dishes, 1954

That reddish-brown shrapnel is dried beef. And it wasn't actually included in the "bite-size shredded rice cereal" box. At least, I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
From the February issue of Everywoman's.

I don't think the bacon is any help here. (Yes, there really are crushed cornflakes mixed into the omelet.) But the tomato sauce does boast chili powder (a whopping half-teaspoon serves 4!), Worcestershire sauce, and MSG! Woo!

"Roast Stuffed Pork Shoulder."
With puffed wheat cereal stuffing. I'm really sorry.
At first glance, I was sure the pink and red bits were Fruity Ring™ cereal, but no. They're actually real fruit. (Apple and prune.)

I don't know what those comb-stand things are. They look like the plastic "separators" I've seen in pizza boxes. Y'know, the ones that keep the cheese from sticking to the pizza box lid. But to hold up "oven-popped rice cereal" encased apples and stay upright like that, they've gotta' be cast iron. Or else hot-glued to the table top.

"Strawberry Chiffon Pie" with "Oatmeal Pastry" crust.
There were more recipes that didn't make it into the photos ("Design: J. Walter Flynn"), but maybe it's better if I leave those to your imagination...?
Bisquick Ad, 1954
| |
|
I'd be more enthused about these ideas if not for the gory uber-biscuit up top. Yikes! Was the Re-Animator doing commercial photography back then, or what?
From the February issue of Family Circle magazine.
Chex Cereal Ad, 1954
| |
|
Damnit, I hate when the family goes and rearranges all the furniture while I'm out bar hopping!
From the April issue of Everywoman's magazine.

During fresh strawberry season, all snark will be temporarily suspended.
From the April issue of Everywoman's magazine.
Skinner Pasta Leaflet, c1955

A young Archie Andrews treasured those dinners over at young Betty's house-- except on Thanksgiving. The Turkey MacStuffing was just too weird.
Skinner Pasta Leaflet (2), c1955

Who else learned for the first time today that Texas is legendary for its pasta dishes?

Posted larger than original (postcard) size. Front and back of an envelope that held promotional recipe cards, published by Franz Bakery, Portland, Oregon.

"Franz Bakery: Specialists in Bread, bakers of Franz DeLuxe Bread, Franz Butternut Bread, Franz Whole Wheat Bread, Franz DeLuxe Rolls."
