Valentine's Day is something my wife and I really don't actually celebrate. Both of us sort of feel like it's an overrated grab for money. We have other ways of celebrating our love throughout the year rather than wasting money on...

Plan B

Some Witch @somewitch (2104) 10 Feb

I was so excited to make burritos today, once I was done preparing the filling I went to the cabinet to grab the tortilla wraps and... they didn't look good. I didn't check to see if they were expired but they had something nasty...

Cooking On Your Own

Some Witch @somewitch (2104) 8 Feb

I used to hate the kitchen. I've always perceived it as overwhelming because of the loud noises, the strong smells and the heavy atmosphere due to people rushing all over the place. Now that I've given myself the opportunity to...

Sunny Side Up Eggs

Some Witch @somewitch (2104) 7 Feb

Also known as the only sun I get to see these days. With bacon. I had to finish the bacon I had left, and gladly did so. Maybe not the prettiest dish you've ever seen, but it was tasty and my belly is merry. I would like to buy...

Protein Powder Pancakes

Some Witch @somewitch (2104) 6 Feb

Protein powder can act as flour, even if many suggest to replace only a fraction of the flour with the powder. Yet I'm not a machine that executes a program, I'm a human born to experiment and make mistakes, and "using protein...

How do I get my Staub back to normal?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (45514) • Staten Island, New York 6 Feb

I was making some baby lamb ribs on the stove in my Staub la cocotte. This time I decided to add vegetable stock and wine. I usually use water. The ribs cooked for about 2.5 hours at my husband’s insistence. I would’ve taken...

Cooking is all about Mathematics

Always smiling @allknowing (141016) • India 5 Feb

I messed up with the dosa consistency by adding more black gram dal by mistake. They turned out dry and I had to dunk them in tea in order to moisturize them. Cooking is all about mathematics. You have to count everything -...

Bacon And Eggs And Else

Some Witch @somewitch (2104) 3 Feb

The plan was to make sunny-side-up eggs. They're clearly scrambled, so what went wrong? Well, nothing. Today was cauliflower rice prep day and I weigh about 200 g (7 oz) of "rice" for each bag that goes in the freezer. 30 g (1 oz)...

Well I am cooking a bit this afternoon.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (162244) • United States 25 Jan

I was kind of not feeling motivated or well earlier today. It was not lack of sleep. May have been pure laziness. I had a box of scalloped potatoes to fix, added onions and ham. I have been meaning to make an egg bake, and now...

A Delicious Egg Bake

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 23 Jan

Egg bakes, or egg casseroles, whatever you want to call them, are just delicious. And yes, I did happen to have eggs in the house to make one since I was able to find a fair enough deal a while back on some and bought a couple...

We had a little snow

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (162244) • United States 20 Jan

We had some dry, powdery snow, but I believe it has stopped. I am doing meal prep today since I was not home Saturday to do it. I just put a Reuben casserole in the oven, and it will make some nice meals for us. There is rice...

Easy Spanish Rice

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 16 Jan

I am sure that there will be elite connoisseurs who will entirely poo-poo my dish here, @NJChicaa being no exception who will probably send my entire idea into the annals of the worst, most vile concoctions to ever have molested a...

Bob cooked

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (162244) • United States 1 Jan

He made a "roulade of beef" as the cookbook called it. It is pretty much the same as a German Rouladen. I made the gravy. We ate red cabbage and whole berry cranberry sauce with it, plus a baked potato. I am early putting...

The More I Thought About it...I Said No

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 23 Dec

I have written more than once about my absolute disdain for throwing food away. But I wound up doing that yesterday on second thought. Thing is, we usually always have ham and turkey on our Thanksgiving, and I am always the lucky...

I was waiting on Bob

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (162244) • United States 14 Dec

He has a particular morning routine before he eats. He has to take his Blood Pressure for one thing. I sat down in my chair, next to his. We both turned on our heated throws. The cat came and got comfy on my lap, and I was out...

I was so tired yesterday

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (162244) • United States 14 Dec

I went to bed at 7:30 last night. Of course I woke up at 4:30 needing caffeine. I am not super energetic, just plodding along but I have an egg bake in the oven for when Bob is awake. I have done several sites that pay me...
