5-Minute Creamy Tomato Soup
There are few comfort foods more classically Americana than tomato soup. Whether you grew up eating it with grilled cheese or sprinkled with fishy crackers (Goldfish OR oyster crackers, whichever tickles your fancy), it's hard not to love it for the rich, tangy-creaminess that warms from the inside out. I especially love tomato soup from … [Read more...]
Helping in the Kitchen
Some kids are patient, compliant, mindful of their space and the space of people around them. They're well suited to helping in the kitchen because they're attentive and able to wait for instructions. That is not my child. My child is a curious thing, searching everything and nothing, demanding to know what this does, insisting on placing … [Read more...]

I'm usually at a loss for what to bring to get-togethers like this, but I had the stroke of genius to keep things boozy and make Irish Flag Jello Shots! After some research and experimentation, I came up with the following recipe for perfect jello shots! Over time, … [Read more...]
Classic Scones & Preserves
I find it funny that when I now read "scones," I hear "scahns" instead hearing it with the long "o." There's not really a point to that statement. Anyway, I love scones & jam, especially when the weather calls for curling up with a good book and a cup of tea, and if I do say so myself, I make them quite well. However, I don't consider my … [Read more...]
The Most Impressive Easy Dish Ever: Quiche from Scratch
Quiche is one of those super intimidating dishes that seems incredibly fancy, but is deceptively simple and really pulls through in a bind. On top of that, it's incredibly versatile (as in suitable for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner) and quite healthy, depending on what you fill it with. What I'm going to do here is provide a template or … [Read more...]
