Freezer Preserving Oven-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

August 10, 2015 By Food Retro

Freezer preserving oven-roasted cherry tomatoes

It seems weird, I know, but I never got around to canning. I have, however, fallen solidly and madly in love with freezer preservation. In fact, freezer preserving oven-roasted cherry tomatoes is hands-down my favourite perk of gardening, and much of the reason why I continue doing it. Ever since I started up my planter…

Green Beans with Mozzarella + Tomatoes (Fagiolini in Tegame alla Italiana)

March 2, 2015 By Food Retro

I was tooling around in the grocery store, feeling the winter angst over crappy winter vegetable offerings, when I happened to see that–for once–there were actually some ripe Roma tomatoes on display. They smelled ripe, which is to say, they actually smelled like a tomato instead of stale grocery store. Hubs and kidlet aren’t usually fans of…

The Urban Garden, 2014

July 4, 2014 By Food Retro

I didn’t say a lot about my garden for a while cause I had little to say, and suddenly there’s almost too much. My garden, a self-built cedar sub-irrigated planter (SIP) started a bit late due to lousy weather and a change of location. It was located on the badly-worn deck on the side of my…

Tomato Bacon Jam (v. 1.0 – Ketchup Replacer)

March 24, 2014 By Food Retro

Bacon jam is one of those things I’ve been hearing about but haven’t yet tried.  It was sitting quietly on my “try someday” list.  Until I noticed I had 8 packages of bacon in my chest freezer for some reason. Looked like a sign to me! When life hands you bacon, you make bacon jam….

Quick and Simple Shepherd Stew

October 11, 2013 By Food Retro

My grass-fed cow is set to hang on October 29, and I’ve been enthusiastically emptying my chest freezer in preparation.  Don’t worry, everything is going in our belly!  I have to admit though I’m a bit of a chest-freezer hoarder at times. As I’ve been making freezer space, I’ve been finding some hidden gems that…

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

June 18, 2013 By Food Retro

I fully admit, the general success of the self-watering planter I built has made me a little lazy on the gardening front.  It’s been a relatively quiet time in my garden since I cut down what remained of my spinach plants, froze them, and turned them into pizza topping for my father’s day grilled pizza experiment. (Yum!)…
