Answer 4

1960's Pot roast, meat loaf, home made bread, spaghetti. Barbecue chicken, potato salad - most dishes were still homemade.
1970's Seemed to be the meat & potatoes era if I remember
More meatloaf, lasagna, spanish rice, stroganogh, pork chops, hamburgers, & of course chicken.
1980's If I recall people started to eat more salads, greens, skinless chicken, Chicken dishes. Rice dishes, backing away from the red meats and being more diet conscience.
1990,s Nacho's, more junk food, hamburger helper and Rice A roni. Less time being spent in the kitchen and more one pan dinners. Meatload suddenly is a Sunday dinner item!

Answer 5

A lot of roasts....basically because women stayed home during that time (were homemakers), the "pride and joy" of each day was what they cooked for dinner. Therefore, their dinners tended to take a while to cook. In addition to roasts, I have heard that stews were very popular as were pot pies.
