An air fryer is essentially a mini convection oven. It would probably work well for a mini meatloaf. It would give it a crispy top, since the convection air is dryer and removes moisture.

Anyone who ever lost themselves in Judy Garland's voice may find it hard to believe, but the star of "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "The Wizard of Oz" once claimed in a 1967 Evening Sun interview that she could "probably cook better than I sing." Garland's ham casserole recipe certainly suggests she knew her way around a kitchen because of its bold inclusion of sherry.
This isn't a traditional sandwich that is made on two pieces of bread stacked on top of each other with a filling in between. It's more of an open-faced sandwich that features a paste-like spread added to "circles of hot buttered toast." To make this vintage sandwich no one remembers anymore, you're instructed to grind two cups of fresh popcorn in a meat chopper (use a food processor for a modernized version),

With budget-conscious cooks turning to Depression-era recipes for inspiration and help stretching their grocery dollars further, vintage is what's for dinner tonight. One-pot meals are an excellent way to keep kitchen clutter and dirty dishes to a minimum while yielding a hearty batch of food sure to satisfy even the most picky palates. If you love poultry, cream sauce, and the comfort of a plate of noodles, look no further than the humble turkey tetrazzini.
There's a certain thrill to the air of uncertainty that comes with making something old new again. For all you know, nobody's picked up that cookbook or made that particular wacky-looking casserole in over 40 years. Before you dive headfirst into the unknown, we spoke with Bobby Hicks, founder of Retro Recipes Kitchen and author of "Retro Recipes," for some advice about what you need to know before trying those vintage recipes in your kitchen.

Between long-loved cakes and other vintage Southern dessert recipes, there are plenty of historic treats that taste just as delicious now as they did back in their heyday. One such cake is famously named after a catchphrase of its time. The Sock-It-To-Me cake can be traced back to the 1970s, having made one of its first appearances on the back of a box of Duncan Hines cake mix.
A home-cooked meal is arguably even more satisfying when it's been whipped up in one pot. This fuss-free approach saves time and effort, while allowing you to build rich, complex flavors and making serving a breeze. One-pot cooking has been a go-to in busy households for generations, and many modern favorites lean into this convenient technique. But today we're focusing on some forgotten one-pot classics that bring just as much simplicity, comfort, and deliciousness.
When we rounded up eight appetizer recipes people loved in the 1950s, we found plenty of gems, and one, in particular, is especially easy, tasty, and even varying degrees of healthy (depending on the filling you choose). We're talking about stuffed celery. Starting with a base of crisp, cool, refreshing celery and then having the freedom to add really whatever creamy, savory, sweet, or salty filling you want,
With so many options between buckles, crumbles, crisps, cobblers, grunts, slumps, and more, a brown betty stands apart from these vintage go-tos for its unique casserole-like composition. Take, for example, the difference between a buckle and betty. Whereas a typical brown betty is made by layering fruit and buttered breadcrumbs in a dish and baking until golden brown, a buckle uses more of a coffee cake-style batter mixed with fruit.
