I can’t remember what exactly I was thinking I was going to do with a couple pounds of spinach, but that happens sometimes when you shop at Costco. So, here we are staring at my refrigerator for the last several days going, “Well, I have […]
I went Apple Picking the other day and now have a couple dozen apples to figure out what to cook with! And I don’t want to do desert. I’m just more of a cheese person than a sweets person. I’ve been making Salmon, Leeks, & […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m in a cooking rut. This is the third macaroni and cheese that I’ve made in the last couple of weeks (I ordinarily make one about once a month, but still). This might say something about how integral […]
I’ve been in a macaroni and cheese mood. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods. It’s the thing that I turn to when I stare blankly into the fridge going, “I have noooooooothing to eeeeeeeeeat.” Maybe for simply the reason that, no matter how bare […]
Macaroni and cheese is hands down one of my favorite things to make. During the winter and cold, blustery times of the year, I make macaroni and cheese at least once a month. Once you get the hang of making a roux, it’s a simple […]

I’ve been in a miniature foods mood. Do you ever want to feel like one of those British ladies in hats who eats nothing but conveniently bite-sized foods? In the culinary world, this is ordinarily called a huge pain in the you-know-what. Nevertheless, I decided […]

People like to say that Graham Crackers make the best cheesecake crust. And, while this is a classic way to go, it’s not necessarily my favorite cheesecake crust out there. It’s a solid choice. It’s great for kids. Although there are other cookie options! Personally, […]
I adore macaroni and cheese. It’s one of my favorite things to make and is surprisingly simple to toss together from scratch. I’ll turn just about any and every cheese that I have lying around into macaroni and cheese. I have a local cheese shop […]
