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…

Creamy Mushroom Pasta (and Men Belong in the Kitchen, Too)

May 2, 2016 By Olga

Anne wrote a great post about the role of women in the kitchen, giving it a positive spin “Reasons You Should Be in the Kitchen.” But it got me thinking that men belong in the kitchen too. In fact, as the saying goes, “everyone belongs in the kitchen, the kitchen has food,” but the fact…

Crockpot Buffalo Wing Sandwiches

February 2, 2016 By Food Retro

As I am once again late to the table for Super Bowl, it seems appropriate that I’m coming with a fast and easy recipe for Crockpot Buffalo Wing Sandwiches that literally get thrown together in under 5 minutes. As is with the case of many recipes I love best, this one is eminently tweak-able.

Gluten-Free Vanilla Bean Cottage Cheese Pancakes #BornOnTheFarm

November 27, 2015 By Food Retro

I once had a 1970’s era bias against cottage cheese. It started young. I kept thinking it looked really lumpy gross when I was a kid, and it was something my mom only kept around because it was classified as diet food. I love pretty much all other cheese without reservation, and fortunately I’ve gotten…

Easy Whole Crockpot Chicken (+ Ricardo Slowcooker Favourites Cookbook Giveaway!)

September 16, 2015 By Food Retro

This whole chicken, prepared in the crockpot, is the perfect easy weeknight supper for your family! Just serve this fall-from-the-bone tender bird with a salad!

I love preparing chicken in the oven; it’s a regular staple in our household for Sunday supper–we use the leftovers through the week. But while I was in the middle of my SNAP food challenge for the month of May, my oven time was severely limited, and my pantry was bare of my usual seasonings and…

Over 50 Squash Recipes for Every Season!

August 17, 2015 By Food Retro

 We’re all guilty of it. We get loaded down with a metric ton of Zucchini from our gardening friends that ends up rotting, or we buy a butternut squash that ends up only being a Thanksgiving prop. Sometimes we just plain run out of ideas, get bored with our old standbys, or don’t know where…

The Classic Egg Salad Sandwich

June 12, 2015 By Food Retro

This classic egg salad makes a fast, easy, frugal meal that's big on taste. Serve it in a sandwich or as a simple appetizer.

In case you hadn’t been following along with my updates about the 30-day food challenge I was participating in at YummyMummyClub, for pretty much the whole month of May I was seeing whether it was possible to eat well and Canada Food Guide healthy on a limited budget of $5.50 per person per day. Spoiler…

Japanese Ramen Noodles from Scratch (+ Other Italian White Pastas)

April 17, 2015 By Food Retro

Someone once asked me when I did my realfood instant cup noodles knockoff why I used spaghetti noodles. Well, the reason why is that real Japanese ramen noodles made from scratch and freshly-made Italian pasta have more than a little in common. Fresh ramen noodles are produced from a blend of high and low gluten flour, eggs, salt,…

Shepherd’s Pie – With Guinness, Lamb and White Cheddar

March 17, 2015 By Food Retro

Beef actually does not a proper shepherd’s pie make. I once bore witness to a visiting British friend of mine’s hilarious 30 minute gripe-capade on the subject over several beers at the local “Irish” pub called Sláinte (which he referred bitingly to as charmingly TGI-Irish… but with an acceptably-served Guinness draft). Incidentally, we learned that night…
