It’s been a bit of a long haul from then to now, but I’m back, baby. A lot of stuff has happened.

Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Cottage Cheese Spread

September 27, 2016 By Food Retro

As I said in one of my previous posts (okay, maybe two), I’m a late-comer to appreciating cottage cheese. I don’t think I ever understood how versatile the product could be until I started messing around with it. You can substitute it for a lot of other cheeses like in lasagna, you can use it…

Vegan Frozen Hot Chocolate #BornOnTheFarm

June 20, 2016 By Food Retro

This vegan, dairy-free frozen hot chocolate makes a sweet and cool summer drink safe for people who have allergies, dietary restrictions, or are gluten free. And it tastes excellent, too! | FoodRetro.com

We’ve jumped straight from “winter” to “hotter than the devil’s armpits in summer” summer. I really have no commentary to add on this except… blargh. It’s hot. Fortunately, I have the cure for the summer heat with this icy chill frozen hot chocolate drink.

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….

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…

Easy Whole Crockpot Chicken (+ Ricardo Slowcooker Favourites Cookbook Giveaway!)

September 16, 2015 By Food Retro

This whole chicken, prepared in the crockpot, is the perfect easy weeknight supper for your family! Just serve this fall-from-the-bone tender bird with a salad!

I love preparing chicken in the oven; it’s a regular staple in our household for Sunday supper–we use the leftovers through the week. But while I was in the middle of my SNAP food challenge for the month of May, my oven time was severely limited, and my pantry was bare of my usual seasonings and…

Two Ingredient Vegan Healthy Instant Blueberry Ice Cream

July 31, 2015 By Food Retro

 This five-minute vegan, sugar-free instant ice cream, made with just two ingredients, was one of those “necessity is the mother of invention” products.   My frustration level with allergy-friendly ice cream and popsicles hit maximum during the spate of 40 celcius weather we’ve been having. There’s a crap-ton of coconut ice cream out there on the market….

Chocolate Popcorn Pretzel Peanut Butter Snack Bites

April 20, 2015 By Food Retro

By unspoken agreement, the kitchen is largely my domain alone. My son is six and still harbors grave reservations about using the toaster by himself, and hubby—well, from time to time he’ll make supper, but his repertoire is limited to spaghetti and grilled cheese. Seldom do my husband and son venture into the middle of…

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…
