For some reason I have this horror at using any pre-made products when preparing meals. Maybe cause I feel like I don’t “own” it, you know, it’s not really “mine”. It’s psychotic and really not very practical. Luckily I have a loving husband who rolls with my personal insanities, finds them maybe almost endearing, even [...]

And they were delicious. I think my kids just ate popsicles. Since normally they eat well balanced meals, I’m not going to worry [...]

Around Christmas and Easter, and a few other times, you can find ready to cook hams in the grocery. They come in a shank portion and a butt portion. I go with the shank portion because it has less gristle and is easier to carve. A ready to cook ham has been wet cured and [...]

Last week Central Market had whole chickens on sale for an absurd price. Actually whole chickens are often very inexpensive and provide the base for an additional soup meal. You know how people always talk about how much money you can save cooking at home instead of eating out? If you ate like this every [...]
