  • Sweet Condensed Milk > Caramel

    This is one of those things I ran across on Facebook but never thought much about it until I thought about it when I was at the store in the baking aisle looking at the sweetened condensed milk and remember it. We used this recipe from this site and it’s spot on. Super easy to…

  • Ghee – The Making of…

    So if you want the whole story, you can find it here where I got the recipe. It’s long and drawn out but let me answer the ‘why do this?’ and then we’ll do the short version of the recipe. Why Ghee? Well, it has a unique nutty taste and a high smoke point so…

  • Red Beans & Rice

    In my quest for healthier eating, I’m exploring some Cajun cuisine to add some flavor and variety. I love New Orleans and the food found there. My burger cooking philosophy comes from a place called Company Burger down there. There’s a thing called barbecue oysters that are simply amazing and then there’s beans and rice.…

  • Keep Apples from Browning

    In the vein of healthier eating, apples are kind of a holy grail. Relatively inexpensive, they last forever in the fridge, super tasty and are rumored to keep doctors away. But once cut the clock is running at a screaming pace. And while the browning doesn’t impact the taste, presentation is everything. I ran across…

  • Broccoli Cheese Soup

    BCS is one of my favorite comfort foods, it’s not really the soup you have with a grilled cheese sandwich but pair it with a club or BLT and it’s heavenly. The best commercial that I’ve found is Jason’s deli and I’ve been trying to figure out how to make it since I first tried…

  • Homemade Alfredo Sauce

    Stealing this from here.I really love alfredo sauce but it’s another one of those things I just buy a jar of even though I’ve heard it’s easy enough to make at home. So I looked it up and it does look simple. We’re starting with a half batch, we got the cheese at Aldi and…

  • Recipe – Pasta Sauce

    Pasta is a staple, for us, Sam’s club Classico sauce is bought by the case and it is perfect as a base for either ground Italian sausage or meatballs. But as I start to explore healthier options a simple meatless tomato-based sauce would be nice to have in my back pocket. This is from Marcella…

  • Roasted Potatoes

    I’ve needed a go-to recipe for a potato side dish that isn’t mashed. I’ve done this with red potatoes and even froze them but I’ve never gotten the frozen ones to taste like fresh, go figure… In any case, I started with this recipe and changed it up like so: 1.5 pounds of potatoes. This…
