Sorry for the lack of posting on my part. I’m actually really missing writing everyday, but we just bought a house (yay!) and it needs a lot of work (boo!). So I’ve been spending all of my free time cleaning and painting said house…needless to say, we haven’t been doing a whole lot of cooking. … Continue reading Painting a New House

The picture that I worked from looked like it had … Continue reading Ham Souffle…Unsure Fail

I couldn’t be more proud! She wanted noodles (I really wanted Chinese), I asked if she wanted soy sauce noodles, she … Continue reading My Favorite Way to Cook
