Over the course of the years here, the balance of the posts have been on personal / daily / life updates … versus cooking. In the last two years or so, the swing has been much more towards documenting cooking adventures… and travel. It felt like the right time to chime in with an update…
Muffins aren’t exactly one of my favorite breakfast items – but they are pretty great. They are perfectly utilitarian for multiple flavor combinations, travel eating, and can skew from “healthy” to “not at all healthy” in a hot second. I’ll admit that I tend to lean towards bagels (or even cinnamon buns) before I grab…
I’m not sure what prompted me to make hot cross buns honestly – but I’m glad I did. Sometimes I shy away from recipes that require elements of precision or refinement. Hot cross buns are not exactly a refined baked good… but the element of individual little buns and the crosses… and the yeast. It…
I made this dinner so long ago that I barely remember what happened. All I remember is that I had some brussel sprouts and mushrooms … and while I really wanted to eat this meal again… I felt like I had to try something new. While new isn’t always better, it does mean that you’ve…
I tend to skew towards very hearty soups. I want something that feels like a meal – not something that requires a part two. Unless that part two is a grilled cheese or anything with cheese for that matter. All that being said, there is a season fast approaching that requests I not cover myself…
Oh Sunday. You tricky little beast. It was such a beautiful day out. It was one of those days where everyone is thinking about how few layers they need to wear and lusting after gardening items at the hardware store. Maybe those are both just me actually. But seriously, it was almost actually warm out.…
Man oh man. This was an amazing dinner. So many surprising and delicious elements – and so fast. I pulled this one (literally) from the pages of Real Simple during my winter plague. I never really believe the “30 minute meals” call out – especially for the first time you make something. So, it was…
I get a lot of magazines. Like more than a dozen. And perhaps more than that. I really like getting mail. But sometimes I just can’t keep up with all the mail and it piles up big time. Normally, I will just grab an issue or two for the commute but thanks to a terrible…
This almost sounds like a joke. I was in a slightly rough spot this week when I found myself with an excess of fresh dill. I honestly never thought that would be something I would say. See dill is just “fine” but it’s not a fresh herb that I look to stock up on or…
One of my all-time favorite “just got home from work and I’m starving” meals is just meatballs. Not meatballs with sauce. Not meatballs with pasta. Just meatballs in a dish with a little parmesan and a dash of soy sauce. I’m not even kidding. I normally have a batch of meatballs in the freezer just…
