10 Minute Fettucini Alfredo (It’s Real, Dude!)

February 23, 2015 By Food Retro

Today’s recipe title is brought to you by my six year old son. I think, with a little practice, he’ll be as good as I am at this. Since I’m still catching up with holiday backlog, I’m again going to direct you to one of my relatively recent recipes on Dinner – It’s Not Rocket…

The Most Amazeballs Soup You’ve Never Eaten: Potato Cheeseburger

February 9, 2015 By Food Retro

Hi Y’all! As you read this, I’ve decided to vacation someplace warm. I figure I kind of deserve it after getting a two foot dump of snow last Monday. I’ve got a few guest posts lined up, and I’ll be here and there, but since I probably won’t be doing recipe building while I’m stateside,…

Pickle-Brined Fried Chicken (Or, How to Eat Chick-Fil-A in Canada + with Food Allergies)

February 2, 2015 By Food Retro

To reiterate the story about how this post came to be, during our last trip to the grocery store on Saturday, my son was upset because I wouldn’t buy the one brand of flavourless frozen slabs of “chicken fingers” that’s safe for him to eat (I get that they’re “all natural,” with clearly readable ingredients,…

Pork Stew – with Strongbow Hard Cider, Apples, Potatoes + Parsnips

January 28, 2015 By Food Retro

After having guests over for hubby’s 40th birthday party, I found myself with several (many) leftover cans of Strongbow, an alcoholic cider that is popular with one person in particular. I’m not sure why I decided it would be a good idea to buy 8 cans for one professed cider-holic, but that’s exactly what I…

Jar Noodles (Or, How to Make Your Own Instant Ramen)

January 12, 2015 By Food Retro

If you remember and liked my post about vegetable bouillon, then you possibly remember that I was hinting there was a method to my madness. Behold, the end result: the real reason why I was figuring out vegetable bouillon (although to be honest I like using it for making regular soup, too). It’s an integral…

Roasted Pumpkin and Bacon Risotto

November 7, 2014 By Food Retro

It occurred to me that I haven’t given pumpkin a fair shake, really. Most pumpkin recipes are all about overplaying the sweet, and while pumpkins are technically fruit (a berry, supposedly. Who knew?) they can hold their own in the savoury department. That is, they can hold their own in the savoury department if anybody ever…

Perfect Slow-Cooker Beef Poutine

November 3, 2014 By Food Retro

I’m just going to go out on a limb and say I hate carpet, because sooner or later it needs to be steam cleaned, especially when my well-intentioned hubby decides to buy our kitties the Old-Fart Cat Food instead of the usual variety, and they spend a couple of weeks barfing it up. Everywhere. I should…

Easy Egg Tacos (A Frugal Fiesta)

October 29, 2014 By Food Retro

I’ve mentioned before that eggs are a staple in my home and that kidlet loves his spinach omelettes (épinards omelette since he started French Immersion!). What has become clear since then is that it never ceases to amaze me that a kid an eat the same thing when he loves it. Over and over. For months….

Carnation® Cream of Mushroom Soup

October 16, 2014 By Food Retro

I woke up the day I was leaving my conference, freezing my proverbial buns off, and had a moment of glee—after I stopped my teeth chattering. It’s soup season, baby! I love soup and I love it to the point where my husband keeps saying to me, “A man cannot live on soup alone.” Yeah,…

Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes

September 8, 2014 By Food Retro

Well I made up all that pumpkin spice, so it seems like a waste not to use it. And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.  Pumpkin is one of those things that I have mixed feelings about. When you do use a ton of it in a baked good like a pancake, it’s…
