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…

Getting Cool Bell Pepper Hummus in our Bellies and Spring Into Our Step!

April 1, 2015 By Food Retro

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m glad April is here! It’s finally spring. The time where Canadians come out of their home-caves and all swear to lose weight gained from being sedentary over the winter. I mean, you can hardly blame us, especially the last couple of winters. Too bad hubs isn’t retired…

Green Beans with Mozzarella + Tomatoes (Fagiolini in Tegame alla Italiana)

March 2, 2015 By Food Retro

I was tooling around in the grocery store, feeling the winter angst over crappy winter vegetable offerings, when I happened to see that–for once–there were actually some ripe Roma tomatoes on display. They smelled ripe, which is to say, they actually smelled like a tomato instead of stale grocery store. Hubs and kidlet aren’t usually fans of…

5 Things You’d Never Guess About Carrots (+ Carrot Ginger Soup)

November 17, 2014 By Food Retro

Secret confession: I’ve never had carrot ginger soup before. No, really. I like carrots, I like ginger. I don’t know why I’ve never combined the two before. Soup is a comfort food staple, to me, and I rarely mess with it. I have to admit though that as I’ve been getting older, I’ve been getting…

Apple Bacon Turkey Stuffing

November 17, 2014 By Food Retro

I think I’ve been hanging around with Canadians too long, cause my first inclination in starting this post was to apologize for being sick and not having recipe content last week. And then I realized, hey–I put out some great content last week anyway. Plus you got two recipes the week before. So I think…

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…

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,…

Eggcellent Summer Salads from the Egg Farmers of Ontario

August 12, 2014 By Food Retro

I don’t know about anybody else, but here in Ontario, August is always the hottest time of the year. Heating up the kitchen with the oven? Ain’t nobody got time fo dat.  Eggs are a huge staple over in my household. In baking, I constantly use them as the universal binder and leaven-er that they’re…

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…

Sweet Potato Salad + Poppy Seed Dressing

May 19, 2014 By Food Retro

Happy Victoria Day, Canadians! You gotta love em… Somehow many have gotten this holiday that traditionally marks the “safe planting” date for frost-tender plants mixed up with the first day of summer. So if you go about Ontario right now, you see many a person in shorts and fleece jacket, and there’s always someone among…
