Super Simple Sour Cream and Onion Dip #BornOnTheFarm

January 25, 2016 By Food Retro

Superbowl is coming up, and to help you with your big game day festivities, I’ve got my Super Simple Sour Cream and Onion Dip to keep your stress level down. Trust me, it’s way better than the stuff you buy in a can, and it’s two ingredients and a swirl of a spoon. It barely takes…

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…

Jar Noodles (Or, How to Make Your Own Instant Ramen)

January 12, 2015 By Food Retro

If you remember and liked my post about vegetable bouillon, then you possibly remember that I was hinting there was a method to my madness. Behold, the end result: the real reason why I was figuring out vegetable bouillon (although to be honest I like using it for making regular soup, too). It’s an integral…

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…

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…

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (Best Snack Ever) + What the Heck, Scooby Doo?

October 20, 2014 By Food Retro

Riddle me this: how did we ever get the idea that carving pumpkins was a fun thing for kids to do? Pumpkin carving is an adult past-time, something that we do while having Halloween nostalgia about when we were kids and were able to go running around without adult supervision as late as 10-11PM with…

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…

Soft Pretzels and Pretzel Bites

January 27, 2014 By Food Retro

Hey hey! Superbowl’s coming up, and it’s time to start thinking up snacks. But what? Hello, how about pretzels? Exactly like the giant, chewy soft ones like you get from a vendor? Okay, mine look like bites, and I prefer them that way (better for dipping!) but the only difference between these and the curly ones…

No-Bake Maple Granola Clusters

December 11, 2013 By Food Retro

So, funny story… a local farmer here sells gluten-free and organic rolled oats for a smashing good price here. In fact, she sells them to health stores all around southern Ontario. Unfortunately, they usually end up in the bulk bins for 2-3x the price and where they run the risk of being cross contaminated. So…

Gluten Free Apple Brown Betty Muffins

October 6, 2013 By Food Retro

It was National Brown Betty day on October 5, and I’m a day late in getting up my celebration for it as usual! I had actually prepared it twice just last week, but utter exhaustion, smartphones and WordPress just don’t seem to get along. The “brown Betty” had its name bestowed in dubious quotation marks back in…
