Thanks to a bizarre conversation I had recently with someone that made me feel trapped in a 1953 house-wife’s body, I started thinking about a 1950s themed dinner party.
Just for fun, I posted a question on Facebook Saturday asking what foods people would serve.
The responses were so fun. I loved them all.
So I am definitely toying with the idea of throwing a 1950s themed dinner party. When said event happens, I’ll take a ton of photos and share recipes.
For now, I’ll share some of the menu ideas from facebook:
Pot roast surrounded by potatoes & carrots
Jello salad, Jello Mold, Jello with fruit & cottage cheese (most definitely need Jello)
Iceberg lettuce with Thousand Island dressing
Tuna casserole
Green bean casserole
Crown roast
Fondue
Spam
Canned Vienna Sausages in BBQ Sauce
Deviled eggs, deviled eggs and more deviled eggs
Pimento cheese stuffed celery
Swiss steak
Chicken pot pie
Baked Alaska

Dinner rolls
Peach cobbler and ice cream
Cocktail meatballs with sauce
Pigs in a blanket
Meat loaf with mushroom gravy
