The Pioneer Woman is the source of this recipe, as is true for many many good recipes. And a friend pointed us towards this recipe in particular. It’s like our friends know we love eating or something. Nice friends. But I call it mine because I made one HUGE change to this recipe. Where PDubs…
Really the Best Meatballs
I tried a new-to-me recipe for traditional meatballs at the end of last week. It shouldn’t have happened, but it did. You see, our favorite recipe for meatballs is just so amazingly fantastic that we shouldn’t ever stray from it. Ever. But I wanted to make spaghetti and meatballs (or spaghetti squash and meatballs), and…

Butternut Squash Soup
Just in time, a fantastic recipe for butternut squash soup! This is a great cool weather classic, and we’ve been making it once or twice a year from different recipes. This time, I think I’ve found the winner. The other recipes used lots of heavy cream, which is of course delicious. This recipe opts for…
