Day 14: October Food Calendar ca. 1937
Okay, so I'm cheating a bit for today's post in my series of "A Month of Autumn Wartime Recipes & Food". 1937 was obviously not during WWII, but I always like to give a nod to the fact that just because there was a war on, didn't mean everyone chucked their old recipes and food ideas! Plus, this menu has a really cool October theme.

Here's the whole calendar. I included close-up photos below so you can read each day more easily.
Isn't the witch on the broom with the pumpkins so fun?? :-D
Days 28-31 are cool. There are some neat Halloween food suggestions. I think covering a lollipop with a popcorn ball is a fun idea! And notice on Day 23 that the pumpkin pie recipe uses honey as a sweetener - a very wartime rationing-friendly sweetener!
