In case that title is ambiguous, I’m talking Huevos Rancheros in 10 minutes. The original recipe says 15 minutes, but honestly, there’s can opening and egg cooking. It’s pretty much the easiest thing I’ve made in months, and it’s delicious to boot. That’s the “every man” version. This is the professional version (obviously still in…

Spatula Day Fun
Okay, so the Pots de Creme idea was just that–an idea that Ree Drummond’s chocolate dessert would in fact be awesome if it ever made its way from recipe to actual food (and in close proximity to me). Until I went to the grocery store on Friday night and got chocolate chips and heavy cream…
Chocolate Week Craving: Pots de Creme
Okay, so maybe I haven’t been cooking a lot lately. Maybe Scott and Peanut are wasting away. No, that’s not true. The second part about the wasting away. We recently consumed delicious pork chili, Giada’s egg and kale wraps (which are decidedly easier with fried eggs than her recommended cooking technique), and some excellent youth-group-provided…

Simple Weeknight Soup: Canadian Bacon, Vegetable, and White Bean Soup
We got home last night at 8:40 and needed to A) feed ourselves and to B) feed some family who had patiently waited for us to eat. Nice family. So obviously, at 8:40, we were all pretty hungry. What did we whip up in a quick half hour? Canadian Bacon, Vegetable, and White Bean Soup…
Small, but valuable.
