Chocolate Chip Biscotti (and Groovin’ into 2015)

December 27, 2014 By Food Retro

Christmas is done, and we’re heading towards the end of 2014. It’s been a heck of a ride to Christmas time, between crushing deadlines, work, and cold and flu season. Finally come Boxing-day, we’ve all found a bit of breathing space and we’re all loafing on the sofa like we’re at the bitter end of…

The Basic Biscotti

December 1, 2014 By Food Retro

I can’t believe it’s December. Argh. NaBloPoMo kind of made the whole month just speed on by. So I’m playing editorial catch-up again, as I’ve been spending mo time at the keyboard and less time in the kitchen, making pie. Well, what can you do. Here I am at the last minute yelling “get your…

Gluten-Free Roasted Pumpkin + Oat Muffins

November 24, 2014 By Food Retro

I am so glad #NaBloPoMo is almost over, cause I’m running out of steam. I’ve spent way more time at the keyboard than in the kitchen. I’m running out of funny, and I find I’m subbing for sarcastic and ranty. I guess it kind of works sometimes, but it leaves me feeling kinda angsty, rushed…

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…

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (Best Snack Ever) + What the Heck, Scooby Doo?

October 20, 2014 By Food Retro

Riddle me this: how did we ever get the idea that carving pumpkins was a fun thing for kids to do? Pumpkin carving is an adult past-time, something that we do while having Halloween nostalgia about when we were kids and were able to go running around without adult supervision as late as 10-11PM with…

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,…

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…

Smoky Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

April 14, 2014 By Food Retro

Easter is fast approaching! I’ve been working on my plans. I’m only having a small turnout this year of only 15 people. Before you choke and say only 15 people?? I’ll just say for the record that last year  I had 30! My poor house was overflowing with people, and my husband looked like he was going…

The Quest for the Best Smooth Hummus

February 17, 2014 By Food Retro

And just so you know up front, I found the Grail. Bear with me – this will be a bit of a long post, but there’s a reason. This isn’t really about the recipe. Hummus recipes are almost depressingly identical, give or take a few chickpeas. This post is longer because I’m covering and comparing the two…

Soft Pretzels and Pretzel Bites

January 27, 2014 By Food Retro

Hey hey! Superbowl’s coming up, and it’s time to start thinking up snacks. But what? Hello, how about pretzels? Exactly like the giant, chewy soft ones like you get from a vendor? Okay, mine look like bites, and I prefer them that way (better for dipping!) but the only difference between these and the curly ones…
