Get in the Halloween Spirit with these Spooktacular Shows on Netflix #StreamTeam

October 28, 2016 By Food Retro

I’ve been really busy this month, and as a result we don’t feel quite as in the Halloween spirit as we usually do, but I’ve got big plans to rectify that this weekend. It’s time for some pumpkin carving, pumpkin seed roasting, and Netflix-watching family time. I’ve got no intention of sharing my bed with…

What a Simple Virus Like HPV Can Do

October 21, 2016 By Food Retro

When my doctor’s office called me back a couple weeks following a routine physical, I had a sick feeling of dread. “Irregular pap,” the doctor’s assistant said. Cervical cancer!? My mind panicked. But my mouth, fortunately, knew what to say. “What happens now?”

Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Cottage Cheese Spread

September 27, 2016 By Food Retro

As I said in one of my previous posts (okay, maybe two), I’m a late-comer to appreciating cottage cheese. I don’t think I ever understood how versatile the product could be until I started messing around with it. You can substitute it for a lot of other cheeses like in lasagna, you can use it…

Will Your Child Be Canada’s Next Cartoonist?

September 22, 2016 By Food Retro

For a long time, when I was a kid, I wanted to be some sort of an artist. Maybe an animator or just a famous painter. I drew a lot. My mom kept an uncomfortable number of drawings I made when I was 3. I kept doodling up until I was an adult, encouraged by…

My Son’s an Unequivocal Fan of Dwight Schrute and I’m Not Going to Apologize for It

September 19, 2016 By Food Retro

Who knew that when I took away screen time, I would create a monster? It started innocently enough. My son was being a crabby little human being, who was watching annoying YouTubers using text to talk to say annoying things like “prankster gangster.” So I, in a moment of supreme mommy-ness, declared that screen and…

Why Amazeballs Lasagna Always Takes Time to Make #BornOnTheFarm

August 15, 2016 By Food Retro

Garfield had it right: one of the world’s best foods is lasagna, and the world’s best lasagna is a homemade labour of love. If 30 minute dinners are the primary fodder for your existence, you’re totally missing out, because 30 minute dinners require a lot of extra help to taste amazing… usually in the form…

Let’s Call It What It Really Is: It’s Toasted Sweet Potato – And It’s Okay #BornOnTheFarm

July 25, 2016 By Food Retro

Maybe you’ve heard of this so-called sweet potato toast thing. People have been going nerking futz putting photos on Instagram of slabs of toasted sweet potato piled sky high with all the toppings. This is something that, while interesting to me from a “hey that’d be cool for gluten free people” perspective, I had absolutely no interest…

June 20, 2016 By Food Retro

This vegan, dairy-free frozen hot chocolate makes a sweet and cool summer drink safe for people who have allergies, dietary restrictions, or are gluten free. And it tastes excellent, too! | FoodRetro.com

We’ve jumped straight from “winter” to “hotter than the devil’s armpits in summer” summer. I really have no commentary to add on this except… blargh. It’s hot. Fortunately, I have the cure for the summer heat with this icy chill frozen hot chocolate drink.
