All Aspects of Life are Rooted in Style
Dunkin' coffee is my daily splurge. To keep my vice budget friendly, I use the K-Cup single brew side of my Hamiltion Beach FlexBrew. I am not a barista, but my coffee order is simple. There is no point in paying someone else to brew bold coffee for me. My simple order is not the... Continue Reading →
It's another day of starring at the pantry wondering, "What can I bake in here?" I noticed a bag of mini marshmellows. So, I searched for marshmellow cookie recipes. The search yielded a lot of chocolate and marshmellow cookies. Sadly, I only had Hershey Cocoa Powder. Feeling defeated, I resumed my search. Surprisingly, I found... Continue Reading →
Shoutout to YouTube promoting Imamu Room's Week of Husbento Boxes on my feed. This probably happened, because I am interested in learning how to make japanese cuisine. Part of this comes from a desire to reduce takeout cost in my families budget. Plus, food looks so cute and delicious in anime. [Side Note: Kakuriyo: Bed... Continue Reading →
As far as I'm concerned, it's officially pumpkin bread season! I love baking it yearround. During the fall, I make it for friends and family. Sometimes, I add it to the dessert menu for Thanksgiving. Although I've baked pumpkin bread for over a decade, I've only used Jenn Segal's recipe for the last five years.... Continue Reading →
During the 90s, I used to flip through cookbooks to figure out what I was going to make. Sometimes, I'd cut the suggested recipes off of food packages. I didn't have a great filing system. So, they were scattered throughout the spice rack and cookbooks. In the early 2000s, I started searching the web for... Continue Reading →
Have you tried to make homefries? If so, do you have trouble balancing a crispy outside with a soft center? I used to struggle with this. I tried different oils and seasoning. Whether I baked them or pan seared them, the potato always tasted raw. Turns out I was missing an important step. About five... Continue Reading →
Over the summer, I've been seeing sponsored posts about Lactaid icecream. My family drink lactaid milk. So, I'm not suprised Instagram and Facebook keep suggesting these posts. During a Friday shopping trip, I went down the frozen looking for MyMochi and Halo Top. I grabbed Cookies & Creme mochi and Mango mochi. My favorite Halo... Continue Reading →
Although I have over 20 years of baking experience, I cannot create recipes. When I am in the mood to bake, I take a look at my pantry. I pick my key ingredients and start searching for recipes online. On this particular morning, I decided to use the left over M&M Minis from my husband's... Continue Reading →
Cooking three meals a day is good for a growing family, but it can get time consuming. Meal planning is a great way to to manage time. I do it...kind of. I grocery shop with a purpose. I know what I want to make each week. Our meals aren't prescheduled. Instead, I prep what I... Continue Reading →
Right off the bat, I do not like bananas. It is a texture thing for me. Since they are a good source of potassium, I blend them into my protein shakes and banana bread. Since they are blended in, it is edible to me. I do not like banana pudding or cake, because those dishes... Continue Reading →
