The simplicity of vegetables for breakfast
Thanksgiving 2018 is in the books and I feel like I’ve eaten nothing but starch and meat… probably because that is basically what I’ve been eating… ok, I threw in a few green beans but I’m stuffed with stuffing and overflowing with gravy (my two favorite things about Thanksgiving). I resisted the urge to make…

What do they mean by “foam up” exactly?
So my last post was a little slapdash and messy. I am totally aware of this. It’s also possible that it didn’t really make my point or make much sense. I’m ok with this, too. See, I needed to bust through the barrier that I had created in my own head, the barrier that was…

Meal prep is the thing that people are doing now I guess. I hate it. and I love it. And I’ve been doing it before it was cool. I don’t have the fancy glass containers or the bento boxes. Just plain old take out containers that I’ve had for years. Granted, I’ve upped my game…

Recipe Review: Skillet Beef Stroganoff
I’ve made this a few times… and I really like it. What I *don’t* like is America’s Test Kitchen promises you “this recipe and more on our website” and then when you get there, they aren’t free and if you want a free 14 day trial, you end up subscribed to so many newsletters from…
