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.

Onion and Cottage Cheese Scones #BornOnTheFarm

February 23, 2016 By Food Retro

This cold that’s been going around is so yucky, the winter has been so dreary, and I’ve felt like such a shut-in, I admit I haven’t taken as much joy as I usually do in things like baking and cooking. Or anything. The result is that we’ve been eating less healthy, and that has just…

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…

No Rennet Goat Cheese (Chèvre)

September 25, 2015 By Food Retro

I love spreadable herbed goat cheese… the kind that comes in the tiny little cylinder at the deli counter that costs you an arm and a leg. So expensive, but so yummy. It’s great on pesto pizzas with chicken and arugula. Perfectly delicious on its own spread on a sliced baguette. And… it’s stupid simple to…

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….

3 Minute Vegan Microwaveable Strawberry Cobbler

July 13, 2015 By Food Retro

This 3 Minute Microwaveable Strawberry Cobbler doesn't skimp on delicious! Use different berries for a quick and custom dessert for everyone, and use frozen berries for a hot treat year round! | Vegan

One of the biggest problems with making desserts around here during the summer is that people seldom want to eat the same thing. Heck, I can’t even get people to synchronize their meals. So needless to say, a quick-prep, ready-anytime microwaveable dessert that’s not a cookie when people feel like having one has great appeal. Cobblers,…

Homemade Bakeable Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Dairy and Soy Free)

July 6, 2015 By Food Retro

I was thinking that I posted my bakeable milk chocolate chips from scratch with cacao butter and cocoa powder like a year ago. That’s when I actually went back and looked, and I realized it was actually like two. The recipe is well overdue for an overhaul, especially since I have learned so much about chocolate…
