Aren’t potato skins yummy? Right?  I think so, too. So, I decided to make some at home! These tasty little buggers are surprisingly easy.  I even microwaved the potatoes to cook them faster than baking them in the oven. I usually like to throw some (okay, a lot of) sour cream and sliced green onions, [...]

So my parents visited Israel last year and brought me back this awesome spice container with all sorts of foreign spices. They also brought me an antique mortar and pestle to grind some of the whole spices. Do they know their daughter, or what?!?  The whole thing was an amazing gift that I am very [...]

Dustin and I experimented with creating our own sourdough starter from scratch. We’ve always been intrigued by making sourdough bread.

In said burger post, I mentioned my plan to share an easy [...]

Back in August, I posted these pics to Facebook of Savannah devouring my Fresh Creamed Corn recipe.   What I didn’t post, fortunately, were photos of me licking my plate along with her.  I’m kidding, of course…kind of.   Now, you know me when it comes to tasty, home-cooked food — I really have no [...]
