I am moving. As one does when they’re moving, I’ve packed up the vast majority of my life kitchen. I’ve left myself a few staples. I didn’t have a particular recipe in mind when I left these in the pantry, though. So, when I came […]
It has been almost two weeks since Christmas 2021 and I’m starting to run out of leftovers. This is even despite making Quiche and Macaroni & Cheese for Christmas and then another fondue-inspired Lasagna from the leftover ingredients after the actual leftovers were beginning to […]
