I've been using Pages for the iPad to create booklets of my life. This ongoing project wouldn't be complete without a Lazarus entry. One of my favorite places as a kid was the Colonial Room at the Lazarus Department store.You could eat a huge plate of dressing with gravy for a quarter. After some searching on the Internet, I found the recipe for it. I've posted it here. You'll also find a few other favorites, too.

I thought I was the only one who had this memory. Our Lazarus in Huntington (Barboursville), WV had a Tea Room. They had the most amazing bread pudding you ever ate. I have a copy of the Lazarus Cookbook put up somewhere if you ever need a recipe.
ReplyDeleteConnie, I read your mail regarding the wonderful BREAD PUDDING that I used to eat at Lazarus at Eastland Mall in Columbus, Ohio. I had a Lazarus Cookbook and loaned it to someone and they cannot find it. Would you be able to send the receipt for the Bread Pudding??? Thank you so very very much!! Barb Ferguson - bfortmy@aol.com

ReplyDeleteLazarus was an amazing store I remember the Chintz Room too, too bad it's gone. Haven't been in a Macy's for years. Macy's is just Wall mart with attitude.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Colonial Room in the downtown Columbus Ohio Lazarus! Many memories of my Mom and I going to shop and eating at the Colonial Room. I ALWAYS got the dressing, every time. Thanks for the recipes. I cannot wait to whip this up for a trip down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteI have very fond memories of going to the Colonial Room in the downtown Columbus Ohio Lazarus store. My Mom and I would shop and we would eat lunch there. I ALWAYS got the dressing, every time! I could not tell you what else I ate but I fondly remember the dressing. Thanks for the recipes. I cannot wait to whip this up for a trip down memory lane.
