The Weetabix Recipe Roundup! #MyBixMix

May 1, 2015 By Food Retro

Last week, I was challenged to find delicious ways to mix up my Weetabix breakfast cereal! I love these sorts of plain cereals, so for me? This was a piece of cake! Challenge accepted.  Since the Weetabix biscuits are so low and sugar and high fiber, it felt only natural to keep from adding a lot 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…

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…

How Grape-Nuts Made Me the Awesome Person I Am Today

November 9, 2014 By Food Retro

Disclaimer: Post Foods has paid me no compensation; my mom thinks this story is hilarious. I was actually a good cook long before I had a son with food allergies (or at least, nobody has yet complained). Relatives who hate cooking mooch off me during the holidays (I like cooking so I don’t mind). I used…

Adventure Bread

August 25, 2014 By Food Retro

You guys know how much I like my books. Raincoast Books was a dear and sent me Josey Baker Bread. It’s not only a fabulous recipe book with a cute guy in it, it’s a story about a guy who never ever thought he’d end up in the place he was as a full time baker;…

Balsamic Chicken with Grains and Greens

June 16, 2014 By Food Retro

I have an addiction to collecting cookbooks, which is weird, cause I so seldom use them. I might flip through them and get some ideas, but usually a recipe gets modified on paper before I ever put it to the stove. I don’t like using convenience foods that are full of junk ingredients, and it…

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…

Easy, Fresh Spinach & Spelt Pasta

February 24, 2014 By Food Retro

My food processor might just be my new best friend. I mean I love my KitchenAid stand mixer too, but I might just love my food processor just a little bit more–at least, until I get the pasta attachments for it. Then those two will be a love match. Pasta’s been on my to-do list…

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…
