Essentially

Being considered an Essential Worker basically means 50 hour weeks at work, creative shopping trips so I can keep as many of my people at home as much as possible, discovering so many local restaurants via delivery, a new way to make chicken stock that I can't wait to tell ya'll about as well as … Continue reading Essentially →

I am sorry

I know that I said I was cooking things and that I would share them but what had happened was, I am considered "essential" so I have been working 10 hour days and then Netflix released Tiger King so in between work and naps I have been lost in a sea of "I met him!!" … Continue reading I am sorry →

What condition my condition was in..

I work at a grocery store so I know what the shopping situation is like these days. Limit one of this and probably none of that, this isn't that but it's close. We are all on the same struggle bus but let's not panic! We are ready for this! We know that our freezers are … Continue reading What condition my condition was in.. →

Thai Pork Larb

The very first meal delivery company that I tried was Plated and this is one of the best dishes ever. No, I didn't know what Larb was as I was beginning my journey down the Asian dish road and needed all the help I could get, thankfully the recipe card educated me and for those … Continue reading Thai Pork Larb →

Pot Roast revisited

I did not actually find the cut of meat I was after. I guess this butcher calls things whatever he wants. I may have to go to the official meat market and take a photo of what I am looking for. I also discovered that my Dutch oven is missing. I don't know how a … Continue reading Pot Roast revisited →

Pot Roast with Beef

I make pot roast infrequently because I can't seem to make it come out fantastic. Because I can't seem to conquer this dish I decided to read a book about meat, it has to be that I am choosing the wrong cut of meat and not that I am lacking in skills. Last Christmas I … Continue reading Pot Roast with Beef →

Let’s Taco about Rice

We are still on the cheap, fast and easy dinner train around here and this Taco Rice is no exception. As I am forever buying bits and bobs that are on sale I can almost always throw something together and this might be my new favorite cobbled dish!

Spring has Sprung

Welcome to Spring! Here in Oklahoma it is the rainy season and like every old lady the rain makes my joints ache and that makes me not want to do anything so I haven't really been cooking.

Life has been happening

After Cookbook Week I was tackled by life. 60 hours a week at work for me, 40 hours plus class for the husband and the kid works 35 hours and has a very, very busy social life. Thankfully I had known that I was about to be too busy to think much less manage kitchen … Continue reading Life has been happening →
