Meatless Monday goes retro!

Dig those crazy Mad Men-esque graphics!

My Nana had a collection of recipe booklets she got from various companies in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. I can't vouch for the recipes, but they're the coolest things ever to look at. Just behold this booklet of beauty from the Colonna Parmesan Cheese company!

There's no date on the booklet, but I'm guessing it's late '50s/early '60s. So, since last night's Meatless Monday candidate, tamale pie, was deemed "Eh" by The Hubbins, I'm going retro today with some (nearly) meatless recipes from Colonna. Just ignore the instructions for beef bouillon cubes in the onion soup recipe; vegetable broth cubes work just as well.

Oh, and in case you're wondering how all the bread crumbs, cheese, and eggs are going to affect you, Colonna very kindly included an "Average Weight Chart." Hey, give me another helping of that lasagna…
