Menu Plan Monday: December 7

I haven't menu planned in a while, and I have a sneakin' suspicion that might be why we haven't been eating very many sit-down meals as a family. So I'm going to attempt to plan out some meals, hoping beyond hope that we'll actually be able to have a few family meals this week. Lunches [...]

How to Cook Perfect Scrambled Eggs Every Time

Science has always fascinated me, and the science of food is no exception. That's why two of my favorite cookbooks are Alton Brown's I'm Just Here for the Food (about cooking) and I'm Just Here for More Food (about baking).
His books aren't just cookbooks though; they're chock full of great information about the 'how' and 'why' [...]

Menu Plan Monday: The Breakfast Challenge

Then earlier this year we all met in person (and found out that we like [...]

Menu Plan: Week of May 18

As usual, my evening schedule is a bit rushed this week which will call for some crock pot or make-ahead meals. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday I have 15, 30 and 60 minutes respectively between the end of my lessons and when I have to walk out the door for my evening commitments. Plus my parents [...]
