Retro Food Alcove

Meet my retro kitchen straight from the year 1948

The Retro Food Alcove focuses on recipes for food handed down through the generations.  This is old fashioned, made from scratch food without any particular health benefits other than that we know what is in it.  We enjoy prepping, cooking, and baking in our retro 1948 kitchen.
