    Instant Pot | Chicken Stock / Bone Broth

    ByKara January 28January 31 Recipes

    I know that everyone and their siblings have posted recipes for Instant Pot stock or broth or bone broth or whatever the name for it is these days. I’m going to be one more, so bear with me today. Last year when all my friends were getting Instant Pots, I resisted. I really did think…

    Instant Pot | Roast with mushroom gravy

    ByKara January 17May 16 Recipes

    Hey y’all! Happy 2018. In the interests of getting back into blogging on a regular basis, I’m going to start posting about some of the things I’m cooking without necessarily a lot of fancy photos or verbiage. I might come back and flesh out some of these posts later but for now, I’m going to…

    The Perfect Boiled Egg

    ByKara July 11May 16 Recipes

    A few days ago I posted a photo of what I consider the perfect boiled egg to my personal Facebook page and immediately got questions from friends on how I cooked it. I wrote up an explanation and before long the post had made it to a fitness group I belong to with even more…

    Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

    ByKara April 9May 16 Recipes

    I’ve had the original version of this recipe saved since the NY Times first posted it right after Katherine Hepburn died. When Pinterest came along, I remember moving it from my long list of bookmarks to make it one of my first food pins. It’s since become one of my go-to brownie recipes. It’s everything a…

    Hello Fresh: Sizzling Beef Stir Fry

    ByKara April 6May 16 Recipes

    Welcome to my second Hello Fresh review. I made this meal Wednesday night, the night that north Atlanta was getting hit with storms for the second time in 3 days. I was afraid for a while that I was going to have to cook by candlelight, but luckily the power only flickered a couple of times…

    Hello Fresh: Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops

    ByKara April 4May 16 Recipes

    Let’s just jump right in to my first Hello Fresh review. I subscribed last week and my first box arrived today with 3 meals. I decided to start with the pork chops and mushroom gravy – mostly because I already have a really great pork chop and mushroom gravy recipe that I like and I…

    Savoury Irish Soda Bread

    ByKara March 17May 16 Recipes

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Everyone in the blogging world is posting Irish recipes today, so I might as well join in with a family recipe for Irish soda bread. This is my maternal grandfather’s recipe, which I’m pretty sure he got from his Irish mother. It’s a little different from the traditional version which is…

    COTTAGE CHEESE & OAT PANCAKES

    ByKara February 20May 16 Recipes

    I’m not generally a fan of sweet things for breakfast. My tastes run more to the savoury – eggs, bacon, biscuits, gravy, those kinds of things. Every now and then, though, I do get a craving for a pancake or a waffle and sometimes I especially get a craving to have a sweet breakfast-for-dinner. A…

    My Favorite Collard Greens

    ByKara January 23May 16 Personal, Recipes

    There is a restaurant here in Atlanta that is well known for it’s chicken dishes. Last year they opened a location up near my house but I wasn’t exactly beating a track to the door. I mean … chicken? I roast a mean chicken myself and who wanted to pay Alpharetta restaurant prices for roasted…
