Christmas Dinner at The Ingalls'

JACOB KNIGHT ~LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE (art work for TV Guide Dec 22, 1979)

This is awesome to see. I wonder what kind of recipes they’ve in this Little House On The Prairie magazine? Be interesting to see more.

  I have a wonderful book called, "The World of Little House" that has a thread on this forum. Unfortunately, all the photos that I posted along with the book have since disappeared. Seems the forum has made many changes through the years, and one of them was how photos were hosted. You can find the book on Amazon and order it.  It has some of the recipes that Laura and Almanzo grew up with:


Laura's Heart-Shaped Cakes
Fried Apples 'n' Onions
Homemade Butter
Pulled Molasses Candy
Town Party Lemonade
Dried Apple Sauce
Almanzo's Buckwheat Pancakes
Ma's Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie
Popcorn Balls
Laura's Gingerbread

Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s classic Little House books tell the story of one pioneer girl’s experience growing up on the American prairie.
Throughout all nine books, Ma’s hearty home cooking, like Pa’s merry fiddle, was a constant fixture in the lives of the Ingalls family.
Though money was often scarce, Ma always managed to prepare good home-cooked meals for her family. Using the lessons she learned at Ma’s side, Laura grew up to be a celebrated cook, a generous and welcoming hostess, and a prudent homemaker at Rocky Ridge Farm in Mansfield, Missouri.
Little House fans can share Laura’s original recipes and enjoy her wholesome country cooking. Updated for the modern kitchen, these recipes are enriched with anecdotes about Laura’s life on the farm by noted Wilder historian William Anderson. Leslie Kelly’s handsome full-color photographs of Laura’s beloved farmhouse bring her recipes and stories to life. Pull up a chair, don your apron, and enjoy the old-fashioned warmth of a Little House country kitchen.
The cookbook contains 147 pages of photographs and recipes and 4 pages of Laura’s household hints.  It contains both vintage and
contemporary photographs.
