Another great recipe idea by Jennifer Carden (author of The Toddler Cafe). 

Welcome to Freaky Friday! I am the lucky owner of a set of recipe cards from 1973, a lot of recipe cards, and most of them are a bit freaky!  I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and possible ways to update these recipes. Some cards  are just too far gone and can't be fixed but hopefully, at least I can get you laughing.  Now don't be afraid because some of these recipe cards have a good foundation for creative recipe ideas.  We have come a long way baby...

As you can see this card is marked as "children's favorites," hmmm maybe not. It may have been a good snack after recorder practice in 1972 but let's talk about how we can make it better.


1973 version:

Dressing: heavy cream, mayonnaise, honey.
Ingredients: banana, apple, walnuts, canned pineapple, lettuce cups and buttered toast.

2008 Update suggestions:

Dressing: Honey, plain yogurt, lemon juice.
Ingredients: banana, apple, grapes and wheat germ or flax for sprinkling.
Serve in silicone cupcake cups or foil cupcake papers.
