Vintage Lunchroom Lady peanut butter Bars! 

❤️

I’m glad you had a friend with the lunch lady! I’m so sorry you didn’t have other friends. If I’d of been in school with you, I would’ve been your friend. I always made friends with the kids others picked on and stood up for them. Everyone needs a friend!❤️💕

I felt as if I was not popular during my elementary school days. I spent more time socializing with teachers, the school principal, and any school staff members. There were times when I felt these kind and caring adults were my only friends. I hope you have lots of friends now. I can relate to how you felt back when you were in school. To this day, it's hard to find truly good people to share your positive attitude and outlook on life with.

Hello friend. I've been there too, but we're still here!😊

I’ve been there too, hello friend 💞 we are connected on Ms Lori’s page!

My mom was a lunch lady and she was the best lunch ladies have no control of what the government provides for these children and these kids to eat I’m sure if my mom had it her way she cook the food herself as well God bless her heart she did a lot for everyonee

I can’t wait to try and make this. Thank you lunch lady. I wish you had made the peanut butter toast too. 😊👌

@@mariepereira6477 uuiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy Q

Glorified preheaters, is what I used to call myself.

I was a cook for 23 years we made everything from scratch but we all lost out jobs

Hello how are you doing?

Thank you for sharing this with all of the world to enjoy and still see that the world still has at least a handful of beautiful people in it still.. ❤️‍🩹

Yes! I can remember smelling the aroma of fresh baking homemade yeast rolls that wafted through the entire schoolhouse. We could tell by the smell what we were going to get to eat that day. My stomach would be growling all morning, waiting to eat that delicious food. This was in the Sixties. My children in the Nineties were served factory garbage because of Reagan and the Republicans.

❤

I was one of them and was so grateful and wanted to give back and work part time during my pregnancy….oh my, the menu hadn’t changed since I had graduated 11 years later but the times were shifting. Fights were breaking out and total lack of respect, no reinforcement for some common curtesies , and having lunch trays throw towards you- with gum stuck on it none the less. Yeh- by the end of the year a very pregnant lunch lady with no tolerance was tossing them right back at the student and the teacher standing right there would laugh when the student looked shocked. The teacher, choking on a laugh, would tell him/her “my guess is you got on her last nerve, do it correctly and their wouldn’t be a problem. The rules are posted on the wall. If you need help wit any translation I can help with that too.

You may not be aware. It is something I never hear about what First Lady Obama did for the schools. She had fixed it so every child received free breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks. No matter if you are a republican or a democrat... you have to respect that. I know because I was working in the school systems at the time.

Unfortunately growing up in the 2000s the food has downgraded a lot and I was one of those children that had to rely on the public schools food

So true! It was the same when I was growing up in the 70’s. Our lunch ladies were always the mama’s in the kitchen trying to cook the best they could with what they had. There was never a child that went hungry in my school thanks to these wonderful women ❤

❤

Yes that pizza was SO good!! We also had an octagon shaped pizza called "Fiesta pizza" which I loved.

I loved that rectangle pizza!! My mother gave us money on Fridays to get the rectangle pizza and chocolate cake with white frosting. It was so good. I think we also had a fruit cup and of course a small milk carton. ❤️❤️

I literally just reminded my husband of these while I was trying to get him to remember the peanut butter bars

I knew was the only one that didnt like it! 😆

We call it schoolhouse pizza

wowwww when was this?

Back in the late 50's, early 60's I remember walking down the hallway near the cafeteria and smelling WONDERFUL hints of what our lunch was going to be! :)

1969. I can still remember the smell and taste of those buttered knot rolls. Omg...the best!!!!

As Edith sang "Those were the days"

@@johnnyace1300 In the 90's my elementary school baked the rolls in house. Not sure if the dough was made there or somewhere else but it was baked fresh. The whole school of hungry kids knew lunch was coming when the smell of fresh baked bread start wafting through the halls. Their pizza wasn't very good though.

Yeees maam they could always tell who was truly in need. Undercover Blessings

They are a godsend. They give us a taste of our childhood.

Amen. Do they exist anymore? I fondly remember mine in Mexia, Texas in the early 1980s.

Oh really? Ours were related to the one in ‘Matilda’.

Yes we are love all the kids

They were only reflecting on a good time from their past. You're far too bitter. Take a nap or eat a snickers

Except for their disgusting pizza. Lol. Ours was horrible. I can remember the smell of the grade school cafeteria....😳....not good. Best thing I remember was a cold fruit dispenser in the hallway. All the fruit lined up on little rotating rows of chairs like a ferris wheel wrapped in thin paper. I don't know if it was the fruit I was so interested in or the machine that delivered it! Lol...yes, Im old. 😆

@@btaos1625 I didn’t get to eat pizza at home so school pizza was awesome tasting to me lol. Once I had actual pizza at a birthday party when I was 10 (before that all the parties I went to were at McDs or were home bbqs) I was hooked and couldn’t eat the school stuff anymore.

Yes, our teacher fired up the woodstove in our classroom

❤️

My mom,too!

That is just so sweet 🥰💕

Being the lunch helper was my favorite part of elementary school! I always thought it would be great to cook for many people, cooking for large groups is one of my favorite activities, I think I probably should have been a lunch lady or a Hutterite or a cook in a hospital or other cafeteria setting, maybe I’ll go volunteer for a soup kitchen or the like

This comment touched my heart 💗 God bless you and your momma! 🙏🏾

My foster mom in high school was a lunch lady. God put her in my life to show how good people can be. Bless those who feed the children.

I like your story. I never had the experience of eating a school lunch. I went to a parochial school all 12 years and in elementary school I walked home each day for lunch and in high school, we either brought our own lunch or bought out of the vending machines.

They cared.

And the food was so good.

A smog this just like God

Back before every other kid had a nut allergy

That makes me happy!

Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from the wrath of GOD❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

@@tama3442The gospel is the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ. Obey the gospel, Acts 2:38, " Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost". Acts 2:39, " It is the promise to you and to your children and to all that are afar off even as many as the Lord our God shall call ". The church was born on the day of Pentecost. Jesus spoke that we must be born of water & of the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of heaven. This is the promise, a supernatural birth from above. People need to know that the epistles fromRomans-Jude are not written to the world. The epistles are written to the people that came from the book of Acts where they obeyed the gospel, were baptized in Jesus name & filled w the Holy Ghost. In Matthew 16, Jesus gave the keys of heaven to Peter, therefore Peter was not in error. Once we obey the gospel we are free to go further, & into the epistles to learn & grow in the Lord. Amen. Be blessed everyone. The first thing the Lord spoke to me as I got off my knees from prayer was "Grow. there's more". ALLELUIA We can never outlearn the Lord.

I'm the same way but boy could I gobble these down and it's like everyone gave me theirs even took some home with me

That's wonderful! Xoxoxo

@N Toole That's great! I bet you loved going to Grandma's to visit (and eat)! It's wonderful to have somethings to remember her by, as well. 😁👍

When i went to school in arkansas they used commodities& i loved the food!! It was always so good,home cooking!! Never a meal or food i didn't like!

What an amazing treasure!!!!😢

N Toole That’s because they made things to last back then - lucky you.

Hi how are you doing?

Thank you, we give smiles and hugs too, xoxoxo

God bless you! 😇 I've not done without food. But, I don't take it for granted, either...Ladies who've cooked spoiled me through the 1960s. I don't forget...🇺🇸 😎👍☕

Hello! Our 4 now-adult children were and 6 of their kids are students of our local school system. 2 of my DD’s and I are Lunch Ladies.

Thank you for your service! The lunch room lady was like having a 2nd Mom at school!

I remember the oatmeal, pb and coco bars in school.

I'm glad you can remember it that way

Thankyou for sharing that story

omg.. yes, lunch tickets....by the week or by the month....

You grew up blessed! I love Wyoming and Peanut Butter bars❣😊

Ma'am, your husband is still with you, every minute of the day and night. You'll be rejoined soon enough.

Hello Julie How are you doing today?

So was mine!❤

Mary P Agree with you! Food was always good. 😻

@Hellmark Channel - You really are dumb.

You are so right! Lunch ladies rocked that kitchen back in the day. It truly was the heart of the school. I feel so sorry for kids today.

@Hellmark Channel um, it is called dessert? hear of it? It is NOT a main staple of the meal, duh.

Hellmark Channel they didn’t only serve the peanut butter bars weirdo

Dont forget the crossing guards! Like loving aunts and uncles.

That’s really great!!

Vicki Hornsby I breaks my heart to here that a child’s lunch is thrown in the trash because their linch account is not current.

Colleen Austin : WHAT????

@@e.conboy4286 At Noble Elementary School in Bakersfield, about once every 2 weeks we would get Peanut butter bars (squares) They tasted like Reeses without the chocolate . My favorite. I have a recipe for home made (Reeses ) that was passed around church for a while. I made them and the inside was just like the ones I remember from my childhood.

E. Conboy true and horrid stories, sadly.

Anyone remember Dilly Rolls ?

I make Dilly Rolls! I'm a professional baker. But, anyone can make them they are a batter bread. The recipe I use is in the Pillsbury Complete Book of Baking. You can Google the recipe online. They are awesome and everyone loves them! :)

Apparently they think kids have so many allergies from all the junk that’s put in to foods for so long and pesticides and such. Too many chemicals . I’m fortunate that my kids don’t have any allergies

What the heck is a taco tub anyway?

Yeah when I was a kid in the 70's I don't remember hearing of any other kid that had peanut allergies, or gluten sensitivities, etc. We all ate PBJ on Wonder Bread & were rail thin mind you! Now you can't even have or go to a kids party w/out making sure whose allergic to what & no one can bring this, etc. Now I understand that there are legit - & very deadly - food allergies to things like nuts or Strawberries, I'm just agreeing that we never used to hear of them. I still have my Aunt's recipe for those Peanutbutter Chocolate Nobake Cookies btw...and you are right they are delicious!!!

We used to mix peanut butter and honey on buttered toast. We ate it for breakfast or a snack.

Great idea!!!

I never thought of that. I bet you have a gold mine of traditional family favorites😊

I bet!!

So do I. I love them!

That's so sad though to think of someone's cherished family recipes being sold off! Why would no one want them; was there no one left on the family line to pass them down to, etc? It's just I come from a long line of wonderful cooks & bakers. My Mother & I both love collecting cookbooks. So the thought that any of our family recipes would perhaps one day possibly not stay in the family is sad to think of. But yes. It would be interesting to look through those old treasures!

Thank you for your dedication for educating! I hope you make these, you'll love them! Xoxoxo

Hello how’re you doing?

Would you mind sharing the recipe for the apple crisp and orange cookie with me? I would love to make some for my grandson.

I'm sure we would all like to have your recipes if you don't mind sharing.

Maybe you could share some of the recipes with this lady from Whiporwill Hollow and she can show everyone how to make them, I'm sure she won't mind to give you rhe credit, Please!

God bless Aunt Myra!

Dana Caldwell , Everyone loved our lunches and the elementary school lunchroom ladies! They were the best adults to share their food with and guide the little children. Sweet.

Ms. Dana, much love and lots of respect from all your kids; you may not be their mama by blood, but you are by food. Thank you.

I recently worked at a school as a lunch lady and I loved the ladies I worked with but the kids were just mean this so disrespected us and I say that what kind of parents are raising these kids that they would smart off and disrespect a lunch lady! When I was growing up and my own kids we loved the lunch lady we would never have been mean to her she gave us our food! If you were nice to her you got extra food but these kids I mean you will not believe how they act today!

Most of the kids at my school are nice to all of us ladies. Once in a while we get a little attitude from one.

@@LadyBirch I totally agree, this generation makes me smh😱. When i was in elementary my best friend mother was a lunch lady at our school. She would ALWAYS give us extra food, i loved the days we had pizza and peanut butter cookies with the choice of chocolate milk.

I'm 55 and have great memories of elementary and school years 😄😄Kids today really missed out.

Wonderful!

That’s so kool !! I’m looking for the large vanilla butter cookies schools made. Some were half chocolate.

@@LGAussie did you check out all her recipes? Maybe she has it?? I hope you do find it. Good luck👍😉😊

Wow, we never had that opportunity in our school, that would have been wonderful!! You don't lose so much of what you learn in childhood!!

@@mchrysogelos7623 ikr!!! We didn't get that type of opportunity either, well 1 year when I went to private catholic school in the 6th grade we could work as a dish washer, spraying down the trays and putting them in the industrial dishwasher, but never cooking. I was fortunate and had many influencers in my life growing up who taught many things about cooking, but imagine how great that could be for students who don't learn how to cook at, for whatever reason. These days home economics is not offered either. How are today's students going to know basic life skills like cooking, sewing, and how to balance their bank accounts??? They want to teach them twenty ways to solve a simple math problem, but don't teach them how to boil water, crazy!!! 💜💜💜

Now, nothing is cooked. Just nuked...it is sad.

I’m so grateful to have grown up with home cooked meals in our lunchroom. Those ladies sure could cook. I started school in ‘66. Things were much kinder and simpler then.

Same here Karen! I volunteered in the dish room, washing dishes and helping clean up. After awhile I was able to help in the kitchen, and oh my, was that ever a treat~ a real honor if you were asked into the kitchen =) If you were good in class, got your work done early, you could put on a safety vest and go help the little kids- half day kindergarten, either as a crossing guard or bus aide. That was fun too, but I much preferred the kitchen~ still do. We had one lunch lady who was real mean, had to stay out of her cross hairs- all the others were so kind & loving~ great memories for me too =)

Karen D z

Me too! I used to feel all privileged to leave class to go help them.

Hi how are you doing?

Oh how I loved the peanut butter sandwiches, and knew it was sweeter than most peanut butter! I think I could however many sandwiches they would have given me, but I always ate one and yearned for more. Do you know why the decision to mix honey with it came from? Do you have any memory of the ratio of peanut butter to honey. So I can try to make some?..

That’s what our school did too. They were the bomb!!

Glad you like them!

Did you find the written recipe or just followed along? Thank you

@@WhippoorwillHoller insert drooling noises😂😂😂😂

Are you 44 in this pic ?

@@lunatikantigenztiktokhumor910 um no

Chocolate milk on Thursdays only. I still love Thursdays fifty years later.

We thank you for your service God bless

You won't be disappointed with these bars! We had these years ago in my country high school and they became quite the trading commodity!

Thank you and all who have, are, or aim to serve the USofA! 🤗

Ms. Lori has some great old fashioned recipies. Another channel you might also enjoy is Mary's Nest. She has tons of cooking/kitchen how-to's. She is very thorough in her explainations

@Douglas Hagedorn, Thank you for your service.Happy cooking🍰🥧🍞🥞

You made this while your husband was on a diet, that’s plain evil lol!

Do you think halving the butter with olive oil would work?

I made these but I guess I didn't cook mine long enough I cook them as long as you said at the temperature and it seemed to be a little Jiggly in the middle I thought that might be like brownies and I cooked them a little longer still little Jiggly so I thought okay it's like brownies it'll set up after it cools down and they were undercooked the edges that were cooked good tasted really good though I have to try to get another time

Liz did you use a 9×13 pan? I have a quarter sheet pan which is 9×13 but what she's using looks like a half sheet pan. Thanks.

STOP, you are making me hungry, and I am done eating for the night!!!! arg. will be making them soon!

Me to they were called gold bars. I don't think they were cooked though

Class of 87 here. WGH

Stephanie W. If you look up “bounty bars” on RU-vid, its the name for homemade “Mounds bars”. All other candy bars are there as home made versions. “Bake Like a Pro’s” Channel is one of the best for homemade items.

🙋🏼‍♀️I'm gonna be making these too!!

They sound just like my Granny, makes me miss her every time I listen.

It's funny that you said that cuz I didn't hear anything special about the way she was talking....I see why now since I found she's from Arkansas...that's where I am from. HA

@@Shellross65 She just has a neat accent & they both just have a calming voice and seem like kind folks I could learn so much from by their stories.

Wonderful!

butter isn't the bad part for me it is the sugar.

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Oh good!

Pizza and peanut butter square day was Friday. Only day I ate lunch at school. Lol

Hi liz do you have the recipe for the lunch room pizza. That was my favor meal lunch room pizza. Thank you for the peanut butter bars. Im going to try today.

Such an unfortunate decision. Thanks for the information Colleen😉

Absolutely right. Great comment.

True and mold they hold

So interesting .. never knew this

Thank you for that tip

your mama was a wonderful person!

Hello Lisa How are you doing today?

Yes, our chili days had cinnamon rolls too, the kids and teachers loved it! Xoxoxo

I've heard so many good things about that combination but have never tried it. Does the cinnamon roll have icing on it, or is it naked in a bowl with just the chili poured over top?

@@sCarrieCemetery Ms. Brown has a recipe on here for lunchroom cinnamon rolls just like the kind I used to have with chili. No frosting and they were on the side, for dessert. I always figured they went together because once the chili is set to simmer there is time to make cinnamon rolls. I really don't know why they were served together but I love chili and I love cinnamon rolls so I was a happy girl.

i too attended Audubon all six years! When i was in 6th grade you could sign up to help the cooks, i ❤ it!!! The highlight of my school years in Spokane!

@@livelygranny4Jesus I went to Stevens Elementary, Westview Elementary and Indian Trail Elementary. Then we moved to San Diego. I miss Autumns.

Hello how are you doing?

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Hello how are you doing?

Does it taste like a pb brownie or blondie? Just trying to get the consistency of it.

@@ramibu239 They have a texture all their own.. hard to describe .. as memory serves .. : ]

Me too

Hello how are you doing?

Thank you

Can't cook like that in the school anymore. Almost everything is precooked, and prepackaged now.

My mom's a lunch lady. She has been since I was in 3rd grade in 1993. Once i got to the middle where she worked she would bring me and my friends out special treats like cupcakes, cookies, ice cream bars. I'm 35 and want to get a job serving lunch at a school. Nothing wrong with being a lunch lady. For Christmas my mom would take me with her to the school when it was closed to use the huge kitchen to make our Christmas cookies.

Wish we had these menus when I went to school. Everything was microwaved and/or reheated from a can. In very few occasions we had actual real food. I think the only thing they cooked was the rice.

😄😅😄

Congratulations great grandma that's a huge blessing

They stopped making them in the school because of all the kids with life threatening peanut allergies. I can see from your sweet response that you would never want to hurt a fly. You may consider seeing first if there any children with peanut allergies in your congregation. Congratulations on your great grand baby. What a blessing.

sheryl lawson good idea for church. We are having an outdoor gathering this weekend and I already committed to bringing baked beans. But if I have time I try to make it, I will

Well, hon, if they can all riot together then we can certainly gather at church.

BLESSING TO YOU AND FAMILY , HEALING TO YOUR GRANDCHILD IN JESUS NAME

Oooh weee! Peanut butter pies! I'm listening! Never heard of or seen those!

Stacee Payne they are fabulous!

Wonderful!

I dont remember so many having food allergies like they do now, xoxoxo

I went to school in the 70s and never heard of kids being hauled off by ambulance because Susie brought a pb & jelly sandwich in her lunch.

And vaccines

Exactly!

The GMO'S have definitely hurt us, its generational too. For instance, I was strictly organic while pregnant and my son was even more organic than I, and sadly he developed a severe peanut allergy at 13 months. But I have so many autoimmune issues my gut flora and microbiome will never been fully healed. I try not to blame myself, because as soon as I knew better, I did better.
