Who Is Retro Mimi?

I am a Pittsburgh girl with a passionate love for potatoes and carbs and butter.  

For some reason, I recreate long-forgotten Weight Watchers recipes from the 1970's in my own kitchen. Sometimes they are surprisingly tasty. Most of the time they are dreadful. Often my house smells like boiled celery. I get way too excited about buying vintage Pyrex and unmolding gelatine.


I am a Weight Watchers lifetime member. I am the daughter of a Weight Watchers lifetime member. I am obsessed with all things Weight Watcher.

I am taking over the culinary world... one envelope of Knox Gelatin at a time.
