Get Out Your Jello Molds

September  5, 2012

For a culinary throwback, most people set out to recreate the casserole Grandma used to make, or the chocolate cake that Mom was famous for. Does that seem a little boring to you? 

You’re right. Bag the casseroles, and start clearing out the microwaves and jello molds for these vintage recipes from Bon Appetit. Nothing says family tradition like hot dogs sliced lengthwise on strips of French bread and seven-layer sandwich cakes, right? Dig in.

I have a thing for most foods topped with a fried egg, a strange disdain for overly soupy tomato sauce, and I can never make it home without ripping off the end of a newly-bought baguette. I like spoons very much.
