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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Not a travel blog. No destination guides or SEO itineraries; just honest accounts of real trips, the good, the bad, and the mundane parts.
Honest restaurant reviews of places I paid to eat at. No comped meals, no pay-for-play, no star ratings. About 90% love, 10% telling you the truth.
A blog post takes five to ten hours to make. This is where I write about the production: the camera, the pizza-box reflector, the cat on the focaccia.
Not recipes. This is where the cooking essays live: how I cook and why, the Kamado, the Hatch chile ritual, the eight-pie Thanksgiving. The thinking behind the doing.
