Hello Darlings and welcome back to Dining through the Decades!! In this weeks episode we are going to be making Spaghetti and meatballs from my 1953 Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book! This recipe was absolutely delicious, so if you make this too, be sure to let me know in the comments! It is very easy to substitute different ingredients if you have allergies or dietary requirements. I swapped out regular mince here for a vegetarian mince and it worked perfectly!
