I was skeptical of this idea because bread is a 50/50 gamble for me. Sometimes my bread is the lightest, fluffiest, melt-in-your-mouth item ever. I won’t lie. But when it goes wrong, it goes very, very wrong. When it goes … Continue reading

My mom naturally gravitates towards any food that is whole, natural, or healthy. I inherited a small dose of that from her. But I do love potato chips. And chocolate. And ice cream. But other than that, we always ate … Continue reading

I don’t know about you, but I hate running to the drugstore in a minor emergency situation. It seems like we depend on so many external things in order to stay well and healthy. And aren’t those things preservative-laden, full of … Continue reading

This year, I decided to make owl cookies for a most beloved sister in law who adores owls. My plan was that they would be most adorably decorated, wrapped in cellophane, and tied to her gift with a bow. I … Continue reading

One of my biggest pet peeves is food that goes bad in the refrigerator. I constantly scan my shelves to make sure that I’m not letting still-good food go to waste before I make new things. And I hate it … Continue reading

These green beans had the bestest, freshest, most amazing flavor of any green bean I have ever had! I originally thought that these would be cheesy (not actually cheesy, but a silly idea) like those green bean fries at TGI … Continue reading

This is a different kind of dish for me to make. It isn’t a steak, a casserole, or contain chicken or rice. But it is a pretty good dish, if I do say so myself! I’m calling it a Greek … Continue reading

Michael is a picky eater. He doesn’t like the rice that they serve in Mexican restaurants, but this meal was a hit. I put off making it forever because I didn’t think he would like it. I actually modified the … Continue reading

There’s nothing better than a snickerdoodle. Unless it’s a snickerdoodle muffin. Snickerdoodle muffins are so good that my husband (who doesn’t like muffins) likes them. Side bar- who doesn’t like muffins? Weirdo. If you want to replicate these, it really … Continue reading
