Part II of the huz’s birthday celebration was this past Saturday. His requests were the Domino’s Farms Petting Farm and Fried Chicken. Both are annual birthday traditions of his. We bundled up in heavy winter coats, mittens, boots, and hats for our petting farm excursion. I also brought along some hand warmers, anticipating the cold! … Continue reading
Hey readers! Did you make it through the night!? We received what I would estimate to be over six inches of thick, wet, heavy snow in these parts. Our arborvitaes are all bent over in the back yard!

Cooking with miso has been on my culinary to-do list for some time now. I nearly caved and purchased some miso last November when I prepared a batch of amazing “Rich Chicken Soup.” Instead, for that recipe I combined miso broth with chicken stock, rather than adding miso to chicken stock as the recipe intended. … Continue reading
Today I’m going to take you on an adventure. The adventure ends with quesadillas. You in? I thought so. One upon a time, a twenty-something chick found a recipe for quesadillas that she fancied. Slow Cooker Chipotle Steak Quesadillas, from BevCooks, in fact. On Sunday morning, she tossed a few ingredients in her crock pot. … Continue reading
I think I’ve made about a million different variations on this Gaucho Casserole. You know, the vaguely Americanized-Mexican dish with some variable combination of ground beef, tomatoes, onions and peppers, rice or flour tortillas, taco seasoning, beans, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, sour cream, and cheese?
