Sticky-Rib Sesame Maple BBQ Sauce

June 27, 2014 By Food Retro

Happy (early) Canada Day, readers!  In honour of the occasion, what’s more fitting than 100% Canadian maple syrup at the BBQ? And make no mistake, there will be BBQ. Lots and lots of BBQ. Being as I’m originally from the south and all, I’m pretty sure that it’s a law of the universe that if…

Simple (and Cheap!) Flour Tortillas

May 26, 2014 By Food Retro

When I wrote about chemicals in our food that are worse than the yoga mat ingredient (azodicarbonamide) in Subway’s bread, a lot of people mentioned how disheartening it was to try to eat well cause organic is just so darn expensive. It is true that there’s a premium on organic foods. What a lot of people don’t…

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…

Tomato Bacon Jam (v. 1.0 – Ketchup Replacer)

March 24, 2014 By Food Retro

Bacon jam is one of those things I’ve been hearing about but haven’t yet tried.  It was sitting quietly on my “try someday” list.  Until I noticed I had 8 packages of bacon in my chest freezer for some reason. Looked like a sign to me! When life hands you bacon, you make bacon jam….

Pulled Pork

June 14, 2013 By Food Retro

Nothing says taste of summer in the south like a pulled pork sandwich.  Unfortunately, pulled pork is something that people frequently don’t make right.  They grab a bottle of BBQ sauce and a pork shoulder, toss everything in the crock pot together, and they get discouraged because the end result is bitter and… well, gross. Well, my…

Chicken Fajita Marinade

May 27, 2013 By Food Retro

Barbecue is, in my opinion, the best part of summer.   The fact that it doesn’t heat up my kitchen is just an added bonus. I love this marinade for making fajitas, and indeed, that was its original incarnation.  But the flavour is nice and mellow enough for an all-purpose.  It also has a high…
