When my husband and I started dating a decade ago, we would go out with friends often.  Sometimes to a barbecue place.  He didn’t like buffalo sauce, so he normally got something with barbecue sauce.  I’d get buffalo sauce cause I live on the spicy side of life. Then we got married and he did Read more

I got a thing for buns.  They’re carb-y.  They’re delicious.  They’re yeasty. I like big buns.  (I cannot lie.) I like hot cross buns.  (One a penny.  Two a penny.) I like them with cinnamon on top. I like them with frosting on top.  I like them made into garlic bread.  I like them made Read more

One taquito. Two taquito. Three taquito. Score! How do you spell taquito anyway?  I could’ve sworn it was tacquito (with a ‘c’), but Google says otherwise.  Weird. Just when you think you know how to spell something.  My name is still spelled J-A-Y-M-E, right?  Just checking. However they’re spelled, taquitos are yummy.  They’re one of Read more

This recipe was born out of necessity and a little trial-and-error. See, I had bought a roast when it was on sale “Buy 1, Get 1 Free”, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it.  It was summertime and I wasn’t really feeling pot roast (as delicious as it is), so when Read more

OH MY GOSH!  Please make this Beef Stroganoff!  Please! Please! Please!  For the love of all that is good and right in your kitchen, make this recipe!  It’s THAT good.  Now, I’ve made some good Beef Stroganoffs before, but none nearly as good as this.  And this doesn’t have any ‘Cream of’ soups or ‘packets’ Read more

I’ve already talked about how I like to make a whole roasted chicken.  It’s just delicious!  But I like to do it for more than just the meat.  I also like it because I use the chicken bones to make homemade chicken broth!  You can even do this Read more
