This was my first attempt at making homemade fish sticks.  By flaking cooked white fish and combining it with seasoning, I topped it off with a Corn Flakes coating and the result was delicious- the kids and I couldn’t stop eating them.  They taste like a healthier, modern version of a retro diner food, which is why I included them in my “Peggy Sue’s Diner Weekly Meal Plan“.

I have an aunt named Peggy Sue.  Really.

Week12Day2PeggySueEnchiladas1 300x200 Go Retro! Peggy Sue Enchiladas

One time she made enchiladas for me and it was- ideally- the most American 1960′s way to make enchiladas I could imagine.  She actually mixes together red and green enchilada sauce- they were unique and delicious.  I used her simple enchiladas recipe, titled “Peggy Sue Enchiladas” in this week’s meal plan.

Both Peggy Sue and her enchiladas inspired me to create a new Pinterest board just for them.  I love Pinterest and we love you Peggy Sue!
