Take-Out Night Just Got a Whole Lot Cheaper Beef and broccoli stir fry is one of those meals that feels like a treat and tastes like take-out — but it comes together right in your own kitchen in about 30 minutes. I have been making this for years and my family absolutely cannot get enough…
Sourdough Day 16 — and I genuinely did not think we would still be here, but here we are, and honestly? It’s all good. Willy and Nilly are still very much alive. They are doubling, they are bubbling, and they are doing what starters do. But there is still a strong smell hanging around, and…
Sourdough Day 15 is here, and Willy and Nilly have a brand new home — and no, I don’t mean a new jar. They’ve moved off the counter and into the cupboard! After a little cold snap here in Florida and some late-night research, I started to wonder if my kitchen was the problem. Stone…
A Mediterranean Treat Sun-dried tomato feta chicken is one of those recipes that sounds fancy but is secretly one of the easiest, most hands-off meals you can make — especially when it comes straight out of the freezer.

It’s All About The Cheese Boursin Orzo Bake with Sausage and Spinach is the kind of dinner that makes you look like you really have it together — when really all you did was dump some things in a pan and put it in the oven. And I mean that as the highest possible compliment….
Sourdough Day 13 — and before you say anything, yes, I know 13 is supposed to be unlucky. But I am wearing my lucky St. Patrick’s Day shirt, so we are going to be just fine. Today is a big day in the Sourdough Journey because after some measurement mishaps yesterday, I took things back…
Tuesday tip: picky eaters — I have five kids, and I know exactly what it feels like to stand in the kitchen wondering how to get everyone to eat the same meal. One won’t eat cheese, one hates sauce, one wants sauce on everything — it’s a lot. Here’s what works for me: once a…
Sourdough Day 12 is here and I have good news and a confession. The good news? Willynilly did great — he doubled beautifully. I am so proud of him. The confession? I messed up my measurements. I forgot to clear my scale and got everything completely out of whack. So I did what any reasonable…
