Took a cooking class with Mr. P today. Chicken, polenta, and a green bean salad. Always fun to learn new techniques and recipes. Lesson one- use kosher salt when cooking. Lesson two- turn food only once. Lesson three- eat more polenta- it’s good! 358/365

Prepping for Thanksgiving is always fun. Shopping, baking, cooking- always so much to do and so many reasons to be grateful. Today, on the day before, my sweet girl and I prepared the stuffing using mom’s secret recipe, and also made a cheesecake for the first time. I also set the table with long-used family china and carefully pressed Autumn leaves from last year. Bring on the Turkey tomorrow! Wherever you are- in the States or in the world, wishing you a very lovely Thanksgiving. On this day especially, and everyday in general- there is much to be thankful for. 328/365
I love a good long vacation when I don’t have to cook. That said, it’s so great to come home and make dinner for the family. Tonight, Broccoli Cheddar Soup from scratch. Love this recipe, and just a pinch of chill in the air to make dinner on the porch delightful. 235/365.
For the last couple of years, I’ve been trying to add a new dish to our family cookbook each Sunday. Favorites so far this year have been broccoli cheddar soup, beef stew, and shepard’s pie 122/365. What’s your favorite recipe?
All is well until your son comes home from school to ask, “what smells so good?”- and you realize those muffins have been in the oven for about 5 minutes too long… good save. I have to re-think that notion that timers are sissy. 104/365.
Is so much more than the bunny. It’s family, faith and food. Easter morning=hot cross buns. Hope your Easter was a lovely one. 87/365
This is the best cookie if you love chocolate. Triple chocolate cookies courtesy of The Pioneer Woman. 2.5 sticks of butter- that’s all?
cocoa powder, semi sweet chips, milk chocolate chips-
They’ll all be gone tomorrow. 68/365.
With an egg wash. Let’s just say they were a hit. I paired these with fried chicken- which I made for the first time EVER! Seriously, EVER! (I grew up on pot roast and potatoes- Irish roots) I was unable to document the fried chicken because my family ate the chicken almost before it was on the table. Next time. I guarantee there will be a next time:) 62/365
