I realize it’s the middle of January, but it’ll eventually be time for the holidays again, and even now, on January 20th, 2021, it’s a bit of a holiday in and of itself. Instead of being picky about the exact time of year, let’s all agree that there’s never really a bad time to enjoy

Maybe it’s the New Yorker in me, but there are times when my soul craves nothing more than a hot, spiced apple beverage. Unfortunately, out here in Idaho, they consider apple juice and apple cider to be the same thing. What a delight when my grocery order arrived with my “apple cider” in a plastic

Ages ago, I made a recipe on here for beer bread. In the four years since, I’ve acquired a taste for the beverage itself, and despite the fact that this recipe is one of the easiest ones in the history of baking bread, I haven’t really made it very often. Necessity dictated that I needed

There are a handful of foods that remind me of home. Garbage plates are probably the first, and I hope to have a recipe up for you sometime soon (I need to perfect a meat sauce of my own, as it’s a signature part of the dish). Second would have to be chicken french. It’s

Banana bread is one of my favorite treats. It’s just cakey enough to make my body think I’m giving it a real dessert, but it’s ever so slightly healthier for you. It’s high in fiber and a classic baked good in any American kitchen. In the past, we’ve had banana pumpkin bread, which had a

Beef stew is your classic hearty food. It’s a set-it-and-forget it type of meal that rewards you in the evening with a delicious and filling dinner. There are countless variations on it across the internet and throughout cookbooks. Somehow, until now, I haven’t put up a recipe of my own, though I’ve made it many times
