Imagine the government telling you how much meat or chicken you could buy, or how much sugar or flour you could have. Strange as it may seem, at one time it actually happened. During WW 2, the United States government devised a food-rationing program to help insure that every family would have enough to eat. Rosie's Riveting Recipes is a cookbook and a history lesson in one with short tales of life on the American home front and more than 180 economical, made from scratch WW 2 ration recipes just like Grandma used to make.
