Crockpot Buffalo Wing Sandwiches

February 2, 2016 By Food Retro

As I am once again late to the table for Super Bowl, it seems appropriate that I’m coming with a fast and easy recipe for Crockpot Buffalo Wing Sandwiches that literally get thrown together in under 5 minutes. As is with the case of many recipes I love best, this one is eminently tweak-able.

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…

10 Minute Fettucini Alfredo (It’s Real, Dude!)

February 23, 2015 By Food Retro

Today’s recipe title is brought to you by my six year old son. I think, with a little practice, he’ll be as good as I am at this. Since I’m still catching up with holiday backlog, I’m again going to direct you to one of my relatively recent recipes on Dinner – It’s Not Rocket…

The Most Amazeballs Soup You’ve Never Eaten: Potato Cheeseburger

February 9, 2015 By Food Retro

Hi Y’all! As you read this, I’ve decided to vacation someplace warm. I figure I kind of deserve it after getting a two foot dump of snow last Monday. I’ve got a few guest posts lined up, and I’ll be here and there, but since I probably won’t be doing recipe building while I’m stateside,…

Pickle-Brined Fried Chicken (Or, How to Eat Chick-Fil-A in Canada + with Food Allergies)

February 2, 2015 By Food Retro

To reiterate the story about how this post came to be, during our last trip to the grocery store on Saturday, my son was upset because I wouldn’t buy the one brand of flavourless frozen slabs of “chicken fingers” that’s safe for him to eat (I get that they’re “all natural,” with clearly readable ingredients,…

Pork Stew – with Strongbow Hard Cider, Apples, Potatoes + Parsnips

January 28, 2015 By Food Retro

After having guests over for hubby’s 40th birthday party, I found myself with several (many) leftover cans of Strongbow, an alcoholic cider that is popular with one person in particular. I’m not sure why I decided it would be a good idea to buy 8 cans for one professed cider-holic, but that’s exactly what I…

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…

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…

Stuffing Bread

October 3, 2014 By Food Retro

What is the biggest problem with a holiday that turkey’s served? You have pounds of turkey leftover, and no stuffing. My friends, you can have your sandwich and eat it too: stuffing bread. Stuffing. Bread. Yes, I went there! it’s a slice-able loaf of bread that tastes just like it came out from inside of…
