Frrrrrrrrrrrrr! More like brrrrrrrrr! Am I right? Sorry. Awful. I’ll just dive into the heavy part of this post. We lost Charlie on Monday. Our beloved dog, who we’ve have for 18 entire years. We said goodbye to her Monday late afternoon at 4:22pm. She’d been sick-ish for a while. Nothing that we knew of […]
It’s December, how about a little crusty bread? (also it’s life, how about a little crusty bread?) We all make no-knead bread. Yes, I know. And I’ve shown you different versions on this blog. One with cheese, one with poppy seed, another with cinnamon and raisin. You are correct. But today, let’s have a very […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrriday before Thanksgiviiiiiiiing! (<–I get excited about things.) Okay. I was doing Connections yesterday and I’m sorry but TOOTH PULP? What the hell is tooth pulp and why do those words ever need to be back to back? Ewwwww and I just looked it up and it’s the part that holds all the nerves, blood […]
If you scroll back on the blog a few weeks, you can clearly see we’re in soup season. The slurping is unhinged! And we love it. This one is so yummy, you will want to punch something. It’s actually a riff on an older recipe of mine, but I wanted it more simple (simpler?), so […]
Frrrrrrreeeeeeeeennnnnnddeeeeeeeennnnnnnd! We have nothing this weekend. (!!) No plans. Nothing. Nada. At all. Zip. Zilch. No soccer. No football. NERTHRIN. Which means I plan to fill it up immediately. Ha! Oh. But in the ways that *I* want to. And one of those things I need your help on, because we’re going to brainstorm our […]
We all have a chicken chili up our sleeve. But here’s another one for you! But listen, it’s SIMPLE. That’s the name of the game here. Zero frills. All chills. (that made sense in my head.) You’ll dump a bunch of stuff in a slow cooker and let it do its thing for as long […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrappy Halloweeeeeen! Now listen. Before we go any further here today, we need to address a serious topic. A sensitive issue. I don’t like to bring it up just as much as the next Joe. But. It needs to be said. Here and now. The supreme Halloween candy is, and will always be a Snickers […]
You know we’re in full-on Slurp Season, right? Right. And this creamy potato and broccoli soup might just do you in forever. Not only is it a complete cinch to pull together, it’s like a giant hug. You will feel so happy. So, so happy. We’ll cube up a few russet potatoes. We’ll take a […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriday! (<–didn’t see that coming, eh?) Okay, I’m surprised at the amount of people in my stories who don’t know what a Boo Bag is! Is this a regional thing? A midwest thing? There were a few messages from the New England area asking what the heck a boo bag is….what!! It’s just a bag […]
We’re talking about six ingredients here so I feeeeeeel like you’ll diggeth. Polenta is often overlooked, and I think that is a life catastrophe. It’s creamy, it’s comforting, it’s simple to make and screaaaaams home. Plus the bag lasts forever. You only need one cup at a time to make a few heaping servings. (I […]
