About Me

This is what it's all about

Moms Retro was started by a single mom trying to keep the fridge full for the teenager.

I love cooking and retro art and that's how I ended up with this page.

Quick & Easy
Kitchen and Home Tips

No Lumpy Sauces: When you need to add flour to a sauce, mix the flour with water (or broth) in a small cup first. Stir with a fork to break up lumps before adding it to your sauce.

EZ Marinade Tip: Defrost your frozen steaks or other meats in the refrigerator the night before. Add garlic, herbs and spices or a marinade mix for extra flavor. If you use a packaged marinade don't add extra salt. Your steak is defrosted and ready for the grill when you get home from work!

Quickie Food Smarts: Check those food labels. "Certified Organic" is a legally defined term. Growers and manufacturers who use this word on their packaging must have met Federal guidelines and have a certificate to make this claim. The word 'Natural' isn't a legal term and just means the marketing department liked how it looked on the packaging.

Home Finance: Paying even $5 extra on your credit card payment makes a big difference in the long run.

Round Up Your Payments and Pay off Debit Faster: Round up your payments to the nearest whole dollar. Those pennies really add up!

Crock Pot Recipe of the Day

Crocks Rock! Beat the heat by letting your slow cooker do all the work. They don't heat up the kitchen, and you can assemble your crock pot ingredients the night before and stash everything in the fridge.

Eureka, I have read it, brand books.

This design comes from an authentic stock crate label. It probably dates to the 1930's.

The word 'Eureka' means 'I have found it', and is the state motto of California.

Growers would print their name and the type of crop they were selling on the blank label.

Western themes were popular and this is a wonderful example from the time.
