Fill in the blank. These words are a challenge. I love when a member of my family tells me they don't like a particular food. I then am on a mission to show them that they just haven't had it made in a way they like. Ruling out an entire ingredient is just crazy! For … Continue reading I Hate __________.
My therapist asked me what my favorite dish I made was during lockdown. I couldn't answer. That's such a tough question. I love food. I love a lot of foods. Like, you'd be amazed how much I love food. So, I went back through my weekly journal of food to try to decide. I couldn't. … Continue reading My Favorite Food During Lockdown

And yet, I kind of enjoy it even if no one else does. but let's be honest, August was not my best cooking month. I blame the hot weather mostly, but we also had the … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 75

My sister was already going and had invited me to join her. … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 67
Yep, life is a little more open and about to get even more so. I'll tell ya'll more about that soon. But we are still being cautious. We go to places in person, though not indoor dining yet. But we have the 11-year-old who is not vaccinated, so she still goes pretty much nowhere. We … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life…Week 64
Well, I've been doing this journal for a while now, and as I look back through the early weeks, I have to admit I probably am not quite as engrossed in my cooking as I was in the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I still love the cooking and playing with recipes. I guess it's … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 62
Okay, let's just start this post with the fact that yes, I drink a lot. Anyone who knows me knows. However, I am not referring to the bottle of red my ex-sister-in-law and I used to down while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I mean actually using the alcohol in the cooking process. But yes, you can … Continue reading Cooking with Alcohol
