Yup, still easing into this new year of blogging. I’m also easing into getting back to eating like a normal person. Baby steps. So I don’t have a bunch of really healthy recipes to kick off the year BUT I do have another instalment of Then & Now recipes. No wonder it’s so hard to stay on track. Look how sexy and tempting todays food is?!

Like the first instalment of Then & Now Recipes, the ‘then’ are pulled from The Good Housekeeping Cookbook and Favourite Food by Valerie Childs. They’re side by side to their modern day, more sexy version.

Raspberry Crisp then & now

Roasted Eggplant then & now
Vegetable Soup then & now

Layered Chocolate Cake then & now

Spinach Salad then & now

Ok, so chocolate cake hasn’t changed much. I’m kinda loving the retro red dishes & styling in that shot, aren’t you?
