Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies (and What to Do with Pesky Leftover Egg Yolks)

December 13, 2014 By Food Retro

I’m going to a Christmas party tonight, and I’ve got eggnog to make. I dislike making recipes that use all yolks or all whites, because I never feel like I can figure out what to do with the other half of the egg (even though I’ve got scads of recipes that go one way or…

Apple Cider Mulling Mix

December 8, 2014 By Food Retro

As I mentioned just earlier to some of my buds, I’ve been busier than Hammy (the squirrel from Over the Hedge) on an energy drink. This may or may not have something to do with a lot of homemade sweet gift drinks being taste tested. In fact this is about the only Christmas activity going…

Instant Chai Tea Latte Powder (an Epic Adventure Story)

October 27, 2014 By Food Retro

Homemade Instant Chai Tea Latte Powder

Have you ever wanted something so badly that you went on an epic adventure? This is that post. Okay, I may be stretching the truth a bit. But sometimes the truth is boring and it’s more fun to embroider. The truth is I sent someone ELSE on an epic adventure on my behalf. Yes, I…

Stuffing Bread

October 3, 2014 By Food Retro

What is the biggest problem with a holiday that turkey’s served? You have pounds of turkey leftover, and no stuffing. My friends, you can have your sandwich and eat it too: stuffing bread. Stuffing. Bread. Yes, I went there! it’s a slice-able loaf of bread that tastes just like it came out from inside of…

Spreadable Vegan Margarine

September 15, 2014 By Food Retro

This post won’t be for everybody, and that’s cool. After all, the real foodies among us have the option of butter instead of margarine. But if you’re vegan, or you’re contending with dairy allergies, butter is a no-go. My tale of vegan margarine begins with a commercial brand, the only vegan brand available, that my…

Pumpkin Spice Mix (and Why You should Enjoy It)

September 5, 2014 By Food Retro

It used to be that the fall season was heralded by back to school sales, some lovely apples, and the changing of the leaves. Now I know that winter is coming when I see my first Instagram photo of a pumpkin spice latte. Within hours, the internet becomes full of Pumpkin Spice Everything and I’m…

Adventure Bread

August 25, 2014 By Food Retro

You guys know how much I like my books. Raincoast Books was a dear and sent me Josey Baker Bread. It’s not only a fabulous recipe book with a cute guy in it, it’s a story about a guy who never ever thought he’d end up in the place he was as a full time baker;…

Coconut Buttercream Frosting

August 1, 2014 By Food Retro

It’s kind of funny that one of my earliest recipes has suddenly become one of the most searched, so I’m bringing it back to the forefront with a new picture and a printable recipe card. And it totally deserved this, because I had forgotten how really, truly delicious this icing is. Before I began doing…

Making Marshmallows + The Other Best Things In Life

July 28, 2014 By Food Retro

It could be that movies are getting worse. It could be just that I’ve got early-onset old-cootism (more likely). Whatever it is, I’m reveling in the Old Ways. You regular readers of my blog are probably like, “Doy…” (I am totally resurrecting this word).   At the moment, the Old Ways also involve ancient entertainment, circa…

Cracked Pepper Rosemary Mayonnaise from Scratch (+ The Most Amazeballs Potato Salad You’ll Ever Make)

July 21, 2014 By Food Retro

I’m not sure how it happened that SOMEHOW I made it through an entire year and then some of blogging without a recipe that featured potatoes. Crazy. But then again, maybe not… Potatoes are easy to give love to. Whenever I had a recipe that might have called for a potato, I thought, “Everyone has…
