[ILC Spotlight](3D) July 12, 2019  New Cooking Class — Just Released! [1950s Retro Recipes]( Step into a time machine and rediscover some of the best recipes from the 1950s. From the Cooking Class: Retro Recipes [Subscribe now.]( Dear Basic Member, The 1950s brought some big changes in the way we made food. Built-in electric ovens, colorful linoleum, and refrigerators were showing up in more and more homes. And for me, those 1950s foods remind me of eating at my grandmother’s table. Convenience was the goal, and you’ll find these recipes showcase easy home-cooking recipes that are full of flavor. We’ll start with a classic Tuna Casserole (Yum!), and then I’ll show you how to make the world-famous Cheese Ball. Don’t let the name fool you; this is one tasty dip. Then another classic is next with the Jell-O Mold (with a modern twist). There are two more recipes you’re guaranteed to love: a Mudslide (grown-ups only!) and Chicken Croquettes, which are a favorite of kids and adults alike. The Retro Recipes class gives you everything you need for a full retro dinner: drinks, appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The only thing we don’t have for you is an episode of Yogi Bear! You get the decidedly modern digital cookbook with each one of the recipes in this class, along with instant access to a growing library of video classes, magazine issues, and cookbooks when you join me, Chef Addie Gundry, for RecipeLion’s Retro Recipes streaming-video cooking class. [Subscribe now.]( This Jell-O Mold is a real crowd-pleaser anytime, but especially if you’re hosting a 1950s-themed party. It’s cool, delicious, and tastes like a creamsicle. How great is that! This one is a little different than some you may have seen before. Make your orange Jell-O ahead of time and spread it on a sheet tray coated with cooking spray. Once that sets, you’re ready to move to the next step. Dissolve your gelatin in cold water while the vanilla ice cream melts on the stove top. Mix your hot water, sugar, and gelatin in with the melted ice cream. Combine everything until the gelatin and sugar is dissolved, then pour it into your mold. Cut the prepared Jell-O into cubes, and drop them into your Jell-O mold. Let the Jell-O chill overnight in the refrigerator. Remove it from the mold and serve this perfect retro dessert. Your grandmother would be proud.
