About the Project

It all started with one cookbook....

Once upon a time, a friend gave me a copy of the "1972 Weight Watchers Revised Program Cookbook". I became fascinated by this book, and I started wondering what it would be like to follow the same plan thousands of women followed almost 40 years ago. So I started a blog to chronicle my journey. 

My Retro Cookbook collection GREW from there. It is made up of countless cookbooks, magazines, recipe cards, and assorted ephemera that have been passed along to me from friends and family. Some have been purchased at flea markets, and some have been found on eBay.  

After 4 years on the Retro WW Program, I called it quits and took a break from blogging.

But there was something missing from my life. Something I love deeply...

JELLO

So I am back to blogging again. But this time its all salads all the time. And I am not gonna lie - they are mostly encased in gelatin. What can I say? Its my thing.

Check back each week for a new Retro Salad recipe test from my own kitchen. 

Enjoy!
