There are two items in life that Cole and I will always completely agree on. First, sleeping in until 9:30 on the weeknd is the perfect schedule, and second, that brunch is always better than having both breakfast and lunch. This combo of events means that I have practiced making many different breakfast dishes overContinue […]
Cole and I both love chili so much, and luckily, there’s so many different ways to make it! I don’t even feel guilty that this is my fifth different version of chili in my recipe box because each version tastes so different. When I first started cooking with venison last year, my good friend Dan […]
This summer, one of my goals was to figure out how to make pizza completely from scratch. Pizza has always been a staple in my husband’s family. When we were dating his family would have a regular Friday night pizza tradition for dinner. Since I usually was hanging out with him on the weekends it […]
Being a household that eats a lot of soup and a lot of pasta, bread is a staple side that I make time and time again. One of my biggest goals of my time spent in quarantine was how to make the perfect loaf of French Bread. As I broadened my knowledge of baking, in […]
Growing up I absolutely HATED BBQ Sauce. I always thought it was way too sweet, and most of it was loaded with high fructose corn syrup, causing me to eat a meal that I didn’t like, and feel super sick afterwards. However, after I married Cole, I needed to find some ways to adapt. He […]
My mom raised me to cook and enjoy many different cooking cuisines, but overall, I grew up with typical Polish meals, meaning meat and potatoes. However, one of the specialties that my Great Grandma Susie always made was homemade noodles and dumplings. Personally, I am a bigger fan of noodles over dumplings, and my great […]
Since I am off work in the summer, one of my favorite indulgences during those three months is sleeping in until 9:30 every day and making myself brunch instead of lunch. Even though there are so many delicious brunch foods, I try to keep it on the healthier side. More specifically, I try to incorporateContinue […]
This week’s featured recipe was created completely by accident. My husband was having a guy’s night, and as part of the usual routine I was going to make snacks. My goal that evening was to make a homemade nacho cheese dip. Unfortunately as I went about creating my dip, I quickly realized the consistency was […]
As summer approaches, I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier and lighter. While I find this very easy to do with breakfasts and dinners, making lunches is always more of a challenge for me. Most of the time I just take some roasted sweet potatoes in a dish and call it good enough, but […]
I may have mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again: Chicken wings are one of my absolute favorite meals in the entire world. I love them with all sorts of different sauces or dry rubs. Usually, I grill them, allowing the skin to get a nice crisp skin. However, this year, on my birthday, […]
Desserts are simply the best. There, I said it. Most of the time I hold a strict mantra that, “Dessert is not worth eating unless it has chocolate in it.” However, Cole loves fruity desserts, especially ones that have apples or peaches in them, so out of love for my husband, I decided that this […]
I’m going to come right out and say it. I miss going out to restaurants. Take out is great, but it cannot provide a dinner served in multiple courses, so perhaps I should be more specific. I miss the appetizer course. I am of the opinion that the two best courses of dinner happen atContinue […]
Everyone knows that even though all bar food is good, the true star of every basket is the fries. Fries are a classic side served with every burger and sandwich, and perfect fries are always seasoned just right – because there definitely IS such a thing as too much salt, and nobody enjoys a potato […]
Now that the school year has started, my recipes have to change focus. While the weekends are still reserved for recipes with longer cooking times, overall, my attention turns to convenience meals during the weekdays. Oftentimes people get confused when they hear the words “convenience cooking.” They think that quick and easy meals cannot possibly […]
