The 1940's Experiment

Carolyn Eakins aims to lose 100 lbs by September 23, 2012. This is how she plans to do it: 


The 1940's Experiment is a personal journey and social experiment living for one year on a wartime ration book diet to conquer obesity. 100 wartime recipes will be recreated with photos as well as experiences of living on a 1940s WW2 ration diet… 1 authentic wartime recipe will be re-created for every 1 lb lost.


A few of the 100 recipes look like things I cook. I made a bread pudding just yesterday, I often make pumpkin soup (I add a few herbs) and cheese dreams are something a once upon a time mother -in-law who grew up during WW2 taught me to make.
