Cooking with seasonal products and the contents of your pantry
Hello to all of you! It has been a very busy few months, so I apologize for the lack of new recipes. Work, being a mom, school, and life has kept me very busy and when I have had some downtime, I have opted to…
It was one of those nights where I had no clue what to make for dinner. But it was getting late and we were getting hungry. Ok, well let me start by thinly slicing and caramelizing an onion. And while that was going, I kept…
