Although Retro foods might not fit with current dietary fads, they can be a welcome blast from the past in moderation. Dare to indulge!
Green Bean Casserole — This classic dish is made with canned beans and cream of mushroom soup.
Chicken-Fried Steak — A staple in the south and southwest for decades. Pound steak until it is 1/4-inch thick, then fry cutlets on both sides, turning once, until golden brown (about two to three minutes per side).
Russet potatoes have a high starch content and yield light and fluffy mashed potatoes. You can use a ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
Frozen peas retain their color, flavor and nutrients better than canned peas.
