Getting Cool Bell Pepper Hummus in our Bellies and Spring Into Our Step!

April 1, 2015 By Food Retro

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m glad April is here! It’s finally spring. The time where Canadians come out of their home-caves and all swear to lose weight gained from being sedentary over the winter. I mean, you can hardly blame us, especially the last couple of winters. Too bad hubs isn’t retired…

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…

Homemade Vegetable Bouillon

December 15, 2014 By Food Retro

If you’ve read my how-to on making vegetable stock, then you’ve probably got some idea how much stock I go through. I really, really like my version of vegetable stock (it’s far soup-erior to the store bought stuff, which usually tastes overwhelmingly of parsley), and I consider it to be the par of any good…

Apple Cider Mulling Mix

December 8, 2014 By Food Retro

As I mentioned just earlier to some of my buds, I’ve been busier than Hammy (the squirrel from Over the Hedge) on an energy drink. This may or may not have something to do with a lot of homemade sweet gift drinks being taste tested. In fact this is about the only Christmas activity going…

Instant Chai Tea Latte Powder (an Epic Adventure Story)

October 27, 2014 By Food Retro

Homemade Instant Chai Tea Latte Powder

Have you ever wanted something so badly that you went on an epic adventure? This is that post. Okay, I may be stretching the truth a bit. But sometimes the truth is boring and it’s more fun to embroider. The truth is I sent someone ELSE on an epic adventure on my behalf. Yes, I…

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…

Spreadable Vegan Margarine

September 15, 2014 By Food Retro

This post won’t be for everybody, and that’s cool. After all, the real foodies among us have the option of butter instead of margarine. But if you’re vegan, or you’re contending with dairy allergies, butter is a no-go. My tale of vegan margarine begins with a commercial brand, the only vegan brand available, that my…

Pumpkin Spice Mix (and Why You should Enjoy It)

September 5, 2014 By Food Retro

It used to be that the fall season was heralded by back to school sales, some lovely apples, and the changing of the leaves. Now I know that winter is coming when I see my first Instagram photo of a pumpkin spice latte. Within hours, the internet becomes full of Pumpkin Spice Everything and I’m…

Adventure Bread

August 25, 2014 By Food Retro

You guys know how much I like my books. Raincoast Books was a dear and sent me Josey Baker Bread. It’s not only a fabulous recipe book with a cute guy in it, it’s a story about a guy who never ever thought he’d end up in the place he was as a full time baker;…

Ginger as Medicine, Bike Wrecks, + Williams-Sonoma Juice Week

August 18, 2014 By Food Retro

This past weekend, I had a massive wipe-out on my bike. Lost my balance starting from a dead stop on a hill, lost control, hit the (square) curb almost square on, very nearly face planted right on the edge. Sorry kiddies, I’d love to make this out to be a PSA about why you should…
