I inherited my grandmothers dutch oven (center), it’s probably 70 years old now. Still cooks up a storm!...

“Of course beans count as a vegetable!” I said to my wife. We have this house rule that it’s okay to eat mac and cheese for dinner so long as you add a vegetable. If I may ‘spill the beans’, I’m obsessed with them. Each one is tastier than the last: garbanzo bean, black bean, kidney. The butter bean, which is just...

Sometimes simplicity is best.

Falafel Recipe...

Recently, I wanted a white board to have a physical list of homemade healthy food available at home. We didn’t have the money for one so we bought some dry-erase markers and taped old paper bags onto the back of the glass of our rarely used china cabinet. I like having a big visible list in the kitchen so my husband and I...

Separated all the chilis/pepper varieties onto the top, and moved all the salts to the cupboard to the right, since those two categories took too much space. Final count was 109. Phew.

Every now and then my grocery has a frozen duck with the chickens/turkeys so this is a kinda special/unusual meal for me. I do a honey, lemon, balsamic glaze on the duck and it comes out delicious. The recipe I follow is here!

I tried to make Pad Thai several times now and it turned out okay, but never quite es good as at my local Vietnamese restaurant. Does anyone have a good recipe I can try? I am particularly interested in the sauce. Over the years I tried so many variations and was "alright" for the most part, but it never really felt exciting....

Husband and I just wanted to make some cake so we had fun decorating it. intentional misspelling btw

I don't want the super health food tree bark nonsense you give nonbelievers. I'm looking for better than those of any animal infidels. Don't hold back on me now!

I make a fruit platter for work each week, decided I might as well start posting them here. Any thoughts for what fruit I should go with next week? I kinda just tossed this together, haha!

Which was promptly smothered in cilantro as god intended.

Smoked a 10lb Boston butt this past weekend to help feed some friends on a small “get away” cabin trip. Turned out pretty okay. Lessons learned, every time!...

Home made bread: (bread oven twice):...

Had some Pesto left over from dinner, decided to try an old tiktok trend. You just coat a frying pan with pesto, and on a medium low heat just crack some eggs into it and fry them in the pesto. Super easy and super tasty!

Donating a chocolate cheesecake for a fundraiser....

We could tag the titles of posts, for types of post or food, say [BBQ] at the beginning then space and the title. I saw others are using [Homemade] which is awesome. By having it at the beginning it’s easier to scan. Maybe another for [Cookbook] – any other tag examples we could do?...

Blueberries, raspberries, and golden raspberries.

My wife and I recently got a charcoal smoker/grill after our old bullet smoker finally rusted through. It came with a pizza oven attachment and we’ve been slowly perfecting our dough and cooking techniques....

Since my Nonna is long gone, I need a judgement:...
