Culinary Time Capsule

Return to the 1980s with me as I cook my way through a childhood recipe collection. Do Stuffed Beefaroni Peppers still taste as delicious today as they did 20 years ago? What exactly is Rainbow in a Cloud? And why do all these cake recipes feature mayonnaise? No matter when you came of age, you're bound to find laughs, dining disasters, and hopefully, a few new -- and timeless -- additions to your table.

I'm a wife and mom, a cook and a writer -- usually in that order. I enjoy food that tastes good, so I don't much care about the pedigree of a recipe. I'm as apt to enjoy a homemade JELL-O cake as much as I am a four-star dinner out.
