Many people view breakfast as the most important meal of the day, and maybe it is. I couldn't tell you as I haven't done the proper research on it. What I can tell you is that there are many people, myself included, who have trouble eating breakfast. Why is it the easiest meal to skip?... Continue Reading →
Carrot Experimentation
When living in a house full of picky eaters, sometimes it's a struggle to get them to eat something. Add possible food allergies and intolerances to that and it becomes a huge hassle. Well, it's a good thing I'm learning to cook then, isn't it? A couple of weeks ago I decided to experiment with... Continue Reading →
Trying Out the Red Wine
A couple of weeks ago, my husband accidentally bought me Red Cooking Wine instead of White. I wasn't upset. I just shrugged my shoulders and said that the taste would probably be a little different but it wasn't a big deal. I had not used the red cooking wine before, though I do prefer drinking...

Bread, Bread, Bread, and a Garden
I'd like to start off by saying that if you know how to make bread, I applaud you. I'm also a bit envious of you, but in a way that motivates me to learn how to make bread. If you asked me what my favorite kind of bread is then I'd have to say it's... Continue Reading →
The Generational Dish
I’ve always thought of my family’s “special” recipe as being a dessert called “Green Stuff”. That is until a couple of years ago when I learned that not only do other people know what green stuff is, they also call it green stuff! I was so shocked I had to take a poll to find... Continue Reading →
The Power of a Crockpot
Is using a crockpot considered old fashioned? Honestly, just writing that makes me feel old, even though I’m not that old (still in my twenties for another few days). However, in a time when the Instant Pot is a norm, I’ve begun to wonder if maybe slow cookers are becoming a bit archaic. It's made... Continue Reading →
To Cookbook or Not?
When it comes to cooking, there are two styles in our house. One needs a cookbook or recipe to follow, every T crossed and I dotted. The other one wings it. Can you guess who uses which style? I do my best when I have a recipe to follow. I want to know what I'll... Continue Reading →
The Food of Disney World
Last week we took a special vacation to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My husband and I have been before, but this visit was the first for the kids and it was the first time we visited "Star Wars Land", Batuu. To say it was amazing is an understatement and I was so not... Continue Reading →
Our Top 5 Allergen Free Meals
We have been dealing with food allergies for all of Ade's life. Currently we're on a gluten-, soy-, dairy-, and nightshade -free diet. While children often grow out of childhood allergies, I hate the idea of just waiting for him to grow out of it. We're still seeking answers though we do feel we're closer... Continue Reading →
Adventures in Cooking
I'm going through pictures on my phone and apparently I like taking pictures of the food I've cooked? Maybe I'm just happy that a meal turned out edible and...pretty? Perhaps I'm amazed that I didn't ruin something that wasn't made in the oven. I've always said that I can bake but I can't cook. They're... Continue Reading →
