The Recipe for a Child at Play

April 4, 2017 By MomRetro

This past month, a local viral gremlin managed to set up residence in my home and provided me with three weeks of “unplanned” vacation time while I recovered from pneumonia.

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….

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…

Homemade Vanilla Extract Recipe

January 11, 2016 By Olga

Vanilla isn’t lame or boring. It’s amazing. And you can make extract yourself cheaply and easily. Here's how! | FoodRetro.com

I always get this weird feeling when I go to the liquor store. As I pass rows of bottles and more bottles, I keep my head down and think to myself: “I am an adult woman. Adults sometimes drink alcohol. I shouldn’t be ashamed. I can do this.”, but this internal monologue changes into: “who…

Give Your Bakers Happy Holidays with Lee Valley Tools

November 20, 2015 By Food Retro

I was a happy baker slacker over the summer with the excuse that it was mostly too hot too heat up the house, but winter, it’s a-comin’. When the house feels chilly, baking is one of my favourite past-times, cause it gives me an excuse to linger in a nice warm kitchen with a cup of…

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…
