Documenting a year of cooking experiences
Tonight was an experiment that didn’t quite go as planned. The burgers were fine but we need to work on our grilled/fried plantain chips. There was a bit of carbon on display but we learned that you can make plantain chips on the grill, they just take a lot less time than we thought. For …

Tonight was another of those choices you have to make in our family, do we make grilled chick or ribs? As usual, both were on sale this week so they were both sitting in the fridge. I was working from home so time was on our side but we ultimately chose the shorter and will …
Not the prettiest plate but it was healthy. Tried the coconut rice again and some fresh snap peas with the haddock (on sale). My family really likes haddock compared to most other whitefish. Tonight there were two themes, lemon and coconut. It was 80 degrees as I drove home tonight so we did all we …
It was an amazing day at the grocery store today when everything we love was on sale. This week is going to be fun. Tonight was a rare 75 degree day in April so we took full advantage and did as much as we could outside. I have never grilled short ribs but the store …

Tonight, the base was some frozen tortellini and we found some shishito peppers, sweet red peppers, green onions, and pecorino. Made a sauce out of some leftover chicken broth and sour cream. handful shishito …
It was another of those clean out the fridge of some veggies night tonight. Saute some, pickle some, put over rice with some marinated meat, top with a fried duck egg and some sauces and I was a happy person. Here’s what we did. Pickle some cucumbers and carrots: 2 carrots, julienne 1/2 English cucumber, …
Tonight was clean out the fridge night without eating leftovers. There was some leftover sausage and ground beef, a half a cabbage, and a bunch of veg that needed to be eaten. In the cupboard were some udon noodles. Here’s what we threw together: 1 9.5 oz package Udon noodles, cooked 3/4 of the way …
