Two Recipes from Stan Lee Presents the Mighty Marvel Superhero’s Cookbook from 1977.

Neither of these was bad per se.  Adding meat and more canned vegetables to canned soup doesn’t make the canned soup taste worse, but soup is so easy to make. If you’re going to go to the effort of prepping and cooking meat first, just cup up some vegetables and use stock. It would taste so much better. The grilled cheese is grilled cheese.  Of course, it was good.  It maybe doesn’t need to be included in a cookbook.

Three similar vibed things up today from my weirdo vintage Marvel Cookbook.

English Peanut Butter & Applesauce Muffins

Is peanut butter, applesauce, and American processed cheese a common flavor combination in America?  It seems like sacrilege to put that on an English Muffin.  But I did it! And it was not worth it.  For me, it’s a flavor profile of ‘edible’.

Quick Raisin Pudding

It’s pudding with raisins in it and cinnamon on top.  It’s fine.  Raisins aren’t the fruit I’d personally choose to put in vanilla pudding, nor would I need a recipe to tell me to put fruit into pudding.  But here we are.  It’s fine.

Quick Raisin Bread

You know what a quicker way to make raisin bread is?  Buy raisin bread.  This recipe is completely unhinged. Don’t do it.  It wasn’t worth it.

Cap’s Apple Pie Shot

1 part Frangellico

1 part Baked Apple Schnapps

1 part Licor 43

Layer in a tall shot glass and serve.

Southern Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes.

I find the inclusion of this fried chicken recipe so funny in the cookbook.  It’s both way too basic to really be good (I mean, it’s fine, but man, it lacks seasoning).  But also, this is a cookbook that mostly involves heating things up from cans, then all of a sudden it wants you to deep fry something in hot oil?  That’s a big jump in skill. Everything tasted good.  No complaints. I just think if you’re going to go to the effort of making Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes, you should go to the extra effort of seasoning them better.

Cap’s Berry Shandy

1 oz mixed berry vodka

lemon/lime soda

Cherry Sour Ale

Mixed Berries

Put a half a dozen mixed berries of choice into a tall glass, add vodka, and then fill the glass with half soda/half beer.

Powerman’s Fillet of Sole

I wouldn’t say this was the best way to cook fish.  I also didn’t use condensed tomato soup because I’ve learned from my past mistakes.  I used the Amy’s tomato bisque.  It was fine.  I liked it. But there are way better ways to cook fish.  Don’t do this to it.  (Also, I don’t know why that bread looks fake. I swear I wasn’t eating a kid's toy).

Badassium Shot

1 part Blue Curaçao

1 part Hpnotiq

1 part Wildberry Vodka

Layer Blue Curaçao, Hpnotiq, and Vodka in a shot glass.

These are cute.  Not really something you should need a recipe for, but it’s a kid’s cookbook, so that’s fine.

Stark Raving Hazelnuts Affogato

2 oz hot espresso

2 oz Frangelico

1 scoop of hazelnut chocolate ice cream

Crushed hazelnuts

Place a scoop of ice cream into a glass, pour Frangelico and espresso over top.  Top with a sprinkle of nuts.

From the pages of Stan Lee Presents: The Mighty Marvel Superheroes’ Cookbook (1977) - Broiled Open-Faced Snacks

This is a recipe, but it reads more as a suggestion.  I made them in every way suggested, using sourdough English muffins.  Honestly, I’m not sure there’s much to say.  Yeah, I’ve done things like this before, I’ll do them again.  Will I make these exact ones again?  Probably not.  Will I make ones like this?  Yeah, probably.

Hawkeye’s Nutty Espresso Martini

1 oz Frangelico 

2 oz Vodka 

2 oz Espresso

1 oz Irish Cream

Shake Frangelico, vodka, and espresso over ice, pour into a champagne coup, and layer in Irish cream.

From the pages of Stan Lee Presents: The Mighty Marvel Superheroes’ Cookbook (1977) - Lemon Coconut Pie

Another pie that’s just pudding in a pie shell.  It tastes exactly like that.  Easy, pretty good if you like pudding in a pie shell with cream on top.

Tony’s Cookie Shot

Equal parts Vanilla Vodka and Frangelico served in a shot glass.

From the pages of Stan Lee Presents: The Mighty Marvel Superheroes’ Cookbook (1977) - Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are made using a packaged cake mix.  They taste good, but more cake-like than cookie, and I’m not sure that using the cake mix saves any time.  At least not significantly.
