Description

📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2, or a family, $27): http://dorislunchlady.com/ Friday, 1972. The menu board in my high school said one word under dessert: Cake. Not what kind. Just Cake. Seven years later I was the new cook in a school kitchen in Scioto County, Ohio, and the head cook pushed a tin box of recipe cards across the steel table. The card on top said CAKE, six sheet pans, and nothing else. I am Mrs. Doris. I worked a school line for thirty-five years, and these are twenty desserts from the 1970s that came out of kitchens like mine and never came back. The cake with no name is number one and I found out what it was. #schoollunch #nostalgia #lunchlady
