I just love old recipes. I have a slew of vintage cookbooks but the recipes are usually hard for me to understand. I appreciate a cookbook that takes old recipes and fleshes them out for the modern day cook. Retro Recipes from the '50s and '60s: 103 Vintage Appetizers, Dinners, and Drinks Everyone Will Love by Addie Gundry has heaps retro recipes that include appetizers, dinners, sides, soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks. 

This cookbook not only shares some delicious retro recipes from the 1950's and 1960's but each recipes includes a detailed photo of what the end result should look like. I am a very visual person and the photos included in this retro recipe cookbook are so helpful. I also need my recipes to be as short as possible and to the point. These recipes give all that and so much more.

Warmer months require easy peasy recipes that are grab and go. No one wants to spend hours in a hot kitchen during the summer. I know I don't. Sandwiches are an simple meal that can be eaten at home or taken out on a picnic. Depending on your hankering you can have a hot or cold sandwich. My favorites on this chart are grilled cheese sandwich, egg salad sandwich, bacon egg and cheese sandwich, cheesesteak sandwich, and the turkey club sandwich. Which of these are your favorites? Even though it isn't on this chart, do you consider hotdogs a sandwich?
