Retro Reducing

I generally try to find something positive about everything I cook or use. Try. This recipe was… interesting. All the individual components were great! The final product? Not so much. True to my word, I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. The other night was the ugly. We have been really trying to…

We Celebrate Birthdays Around Here

It was another sweet friend’s birthday Sunday and to show her a little love, I made her her favorite. Strawberry cupcakes!

Hail (Cashew) Caesar!

It’s the New Year and the Girls Scouts are lurking around every corner and bikini season is following right along their heels! That means more greens and less cheese. Kale Caesar being a trendy thing now, I decided to try this Cashew Caesar Dressing from Bon Appetit magazine‘s January 2016 issue on some broccoli slaw…

Game On!

It’s game day all over the US. Millions have placed themselves squarely in front of TV sets rooting for their chosen team in Super Bowl LIII. Snacks are made, friends are gathered, calories are consumed with abandon. This year, we’re keeping things pretty low-key and staying home and lounging in our sweats, but we’re still…

Soup-er Slow-Cooking
