Guilt Free

Building on the Flavours of the Past to Create a Healthier Future

Ever crave that elusive dish that disappeared along with your favourite ’90s hairstyle? Look no further. We’re on a mission to resurrect the culinary gems that time (and perhaps good taste) forgot. Whether it’s a comforting casserole that reminds you of home or a dessert like “Genuine Murray’s Steamed Fruit Pudding” that takes you back to grandma’s kitchen (minus the questionable wallpaper), our recipes are curated to awaken those warm, fuzzy feelings.

Welcome

Welcome to the “Recipes” section, where we’re not just stirring pots—we’re stirring up memories and maybe a few laughs (along with the occasional kitchen mishap). Here, we blend the nostalgia of cherished childhood classics with the demands of modern life—because who says you can’t whip up “Eaton’s Wheat Germ Muffins Healthy Copycat Recipe” while on a conference call?

Lost Favourites

Oh, and did we mention we’re reviving recipes from restaurants that have long since closed their doors? That’s right—we’re playing culinary archaeologists, unearthing dishes that vanished along with pay phones and cassette tapes. We’re updating these classics to boost their healthiness (because, apparently, butter isn’t a food group anymore), all while retaining the flavours of yesteryear—with less guilt and fewer calories. So go ahead and indulge in your favourite nostalgic meals without needing a time machine or an extra notch on your belt. It’s the best of both worlds: the taste of yesterday, updated for today’s healthier you.

Not Just Looking Back

But hey, we’re not just stuck in the past (even if bell-bottoms do make a comeback every decade). We also cater to your present-day chaos, offering recipes that fit seamlessly into your teleworking schedule or hectic office life. Need something quick between back-to-back meetings? Check out our “5 Quick Lunch Recipes for Busy Workdays“—because surviving on coffee and questionable vending machine snacks is a risk we’re unwilling to take.

Make Lunch Better

Whether you’re planning a week’s worth of lunches to avoid the dreaded midday slump with our “Low-Glycemic Chinese Lunch Ideas to Beat The Midday Slump,” or throwing together a last-minute meal with pantry staples inspired by “Great Lunches With Fall Veggies,” our “Recipes” section is your culinary sidekick. It’s a place where the old becomes new again, and the latest trends are just waiting to become part of your lunchtime repertoire. So tie on that apron (or don’t—we’re not the boss of you), and let’s make lunch the most delicious part of your day.
