Retro Sundays

I created the Retro Sundays series to help newer readers easily navigate the very best of this blog's enormous back catalog of content. Each Retro Sundays column serves up a selection of the best articles from this week in history here at Casual Kitchen.

As always, please feel free to explore CK's Recipe Index, the Best Of Casual Kitchen page and my full Index of Posts. You can also receive my updates at Twitter.

This Week in History at Casual Kitchen:

An Easy Granola Recipe (January 2007)
This delicious and simple recipe picked up a ton of search traffic (and still shows up on the first if you Google the title), and it eventually spurred me to put together what turned out to be my extremely popular Granola Blogroll.

Red Lentils and Rice: Two Cooking Lessons From A Cheap and Easy Dish (January 2007)
This laughably cheap dish proves that you don't need to buy fancy cookbooks to find good recipes. Good recipes are everywhere--even on a bag of humble red lentils.

Antioxidant Alert! Collard Greens with Rice and Kielbasa (January 2008)
Another laughably cheap recipe that I found in the most unassuming place ever. You can easily make this dish in under 30 minutes, from start to finish.

Rumbledethumps (January 2009)
An enormously flexible, scalable and delicious recipe that's sort of like a veggie version of shepherd's pie. You'll love it, I promise. Death to the red hag!
