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…

Vegan Mocha Irish Coffee #BornOnTheFarm

March 29, 2016 By Food Retro

I love me my coffee drinks. They are great for company, and super stupid easy. They taste good, they make you feel warm and fuzzy on cold days (how can you go wrong with coffee and alcohol?), and basically they’re an all around good thing for people who want to be social without excessive boozing….

Your Little Guide to Roots and Tubers

March 16, 2016 By Olga

“Excuse me, what’s that?”- said the lady behind me in the checkout queue in the supermarket. “Excuse me?” I replied, somewhat surprised. My cart didn’t contain anything that would have looked weird to anyone. Or so I thought. “That,”- said the lady, pointing at the beetroot I bought for salad. “Oh that. That’s a beetroot.”…

Onion and Cottage Cheese Scones #BornOnTheFarm

February 23, 2016 By Food Retro

This cold that’s been going around is so yucky, the winter has been so dreary, and I’ve felt like such a shut-in, I admit I haven’t taken as much joy as I usually do in things like baking and cooking. Or anything. The result is that we’ve been eating less healthy, and that has just…

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.

Homemade Vanilla Extract Recipe

January 11, 2016 By Olga

Vanilla isn’t lame or boring. It’s amazing. And you can make extract yourself cheaply and easily. Here's how! | FoodRetro.com

I always get this weird feeling when I go to the liquor store. As I pass rows of bottles and more bottles, I keep my head down and think to myself: “I am an adult woman. Adults sometimes drink alcohol. I shouldn’t be ashamed. I can do this.”, but this internal monologue changes into: “who…

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…

November 16, 2015 By Food Retro

Holiday Fruit Cake! The real, authentic, classic kind, made delicious from scratch with love, nuts, brandy, and only the most edible of dried fruits like figs, dried cherries, currants, and apricots. Make one now and have it cured before Christmas! | Homemade | DIY | YMCFood | YummyMummyClub.ca | FoodRetro.com

I must confess, I must be a sucker for challenges, cause when the YMC editor threw down the gauntlet asking if anybody would be willing to make a real honest to goodness fruitcake (like the kind you marinate with alcohol for weeks), I actually volunteered. In my defense, I had never made a fruitcake before….
