Adventure stories from around the world, the kitchen, and the written word.
Today’s post is not a recipe because I wasn’t completely happy with how they came out. They did taste good thought! I actually used the recipe for the cornbread itself that is on the back of the Pioneer Corn Meal bag. However, with the added ingredients I felt that this recipe came out a bit
I’m ready for spring. This has been a rather long, chilly winter. So I decided to bring a little bit of spring inspired cooking into my kitchen.

Yes, you read the title right. The sauce is really good and super easy but I have a funny story about making it recently. In the interest of being healthy I decided that instead of using spaghetti noodles like I typically do with this recipe that I would make spaghetti squash. If you use freshly

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Christmas is right around the corner and I’ve been cooking away. Yesterday I made my first batch of homemade apple cider. My batch was made a bit differently because I didn’t have whole spices. Instead I put ground spices into a tea filter bag and put that into the crock
