Growing up, both of my parent's mothers raised their kids during The Depression Era, so our family meals were prepared by using recipes from The Household Searchlight Recipe Book. My mom could not cook, but my dad did, so we had two copies of this cookbook: The 1938 edition, and The 1939 Revised Edition (which was much bigger the first edition in 1931 or in 1938).

We used the 1939 edition the most, plus inside the cookbook is original handwriting by my mom's mother, my grandmother's sister, my dad's aunt and two other cousins -- who all added to the family cookbook. There are even news-paper clippings from articles featured in a weekly column in their local newspaper, which appeared usually in the Saturday evening edition of the local free press.

The Household Searchlight Recipe Book is indexed, with a category for nearly any entrée or dessert or canning preparation processes or pastries, breads, jams and jellies or any other type of confection dreamed up by people who learned how to make the most from what they had on hand.

My favorite meal growing up was Stuffed Bell Peppers and Potato Casserole. Fresh homemade bread and butter (churned earlier in the day) was at every meal we had growing up.

Most editions of this cookbook, recipe book, was compiled and edited by Ida Migliario, Harriet W. Allred, Zorada Z. Titus, and Irene Nunemaker -- editors and contributors, I think, to The Household Magazine, published out of Topeka, Kansas.

Both books I have at home are family heirlooms and priceless ( to me ).

But editions of this Depression Era recipe/cookbook range from $88 to nearly $500 (mint condition).
