The Best Old-Fashioned Recipe Collection: 12 Cafeteria-Inspired Recipes
We all have those recipes that take us back to the good ole' days, y'know the days when we were still in grade school and eating school cafeteria lunches. Now, not every school lunch brings back happy memories, but there were definitely a few lunches that made us rush to the front of the line! We think you'll like taking a walk down memory lane with The Best Old-Fashioned Recipe Collection, which has so many tasty, cafeteria-inspired recipes for you to choose from. Who knows, you may find yourself making cafeteria food at home more often!
Nothing that comes out of a box will compare to our comforting recipe for Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese. The little bit of extra effort to do it ourselves will reap such a big pay-off -- it's worth every moment!
This classic old-fashioned recipe is an all-American favorite that tastes so much better when made with your own fresh ingredients . Our Homestyle Sloppy Joes are sink-your-teeth-into-'em good!
