I would love to have some old recipes. Some like old grandmother recipes or recipes from the 70's. I love to cook, but my family likes to eat out. Would love to have as many as I can, so we can stay home and eat.

Hit thrift stores and book resellers for the classic cookbooks from the times you describe it is the best way to get exactly what you are looking for. Do keep in mind that people used to have more time to cook and some ingredients (like Mono-sodium Glutamate, aka MSG) aren't necessary and the recipes are made to last longer to kill time. There are a good deal of modified favorites like 30minute meals you may also want to consider - still home cooking but a fraction of the time commitment. Good Luck!

here's a dish I used to make before I quit eating meat and everyone loved it. It's similar to shepherds pie...
Hamburger Pie
brown about 1 lb ground beef, drain
Add 1 can drained green beans (I like the french cut ones) and 1 can campbells tomato soup (don't add the water) to the ground beef and spread the mixture into a casserole dish. Then layer mashes potatoes on top about an inch or two thick and top them with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Heat in the oven for about 20 or 30 min, until heated through.
It's not an exact recipe and you can tweak it a bit here and there. I used garlic mashed potatoes and added some jalapenos to the ground beef when I browned it.

I am sure someone out there in Y & A will give you some, I have lots and lots, too many to sit here and type out, but I would like to tell you to go to your public library and go to the section with the cook books....there are lots of older ones with tried and true recipes, it is an excellant resource for finding them, take the time to sit there and go through some of them (I like the older Betty Crocker Books) I have several that were given to me years ago and have picked up at rummage sales, you can check out the books and take your time copying them down, or sit there and then you can just use their copy machine (here it is only 10 cents a page)

I bought one of the very early editions of Joy of Cooking on eBay. Wonderful old recipes, those.
