Prior to the holidays (and honestly even through Christmas), I just didn’t cook that much. At. All. The Hubs was on a diet in a weight lost contest at work. (Kudos to him; he won!) So, we were eating mostly salads around here. I really don’t consider salads cooking but some were truly worthy and . . . → Read More: Coq Au Vin-ish (with Rosé )

I decided to keep going with my reviews of new(ish) cookbooks. Obviously, I’m still rolling through those published in 2023. I’m not sure the featured book today made any “best of” lists, but it should have. I laughed out loud from page one.

I think my January IMK posts are always the lengthiest. Our families and friends know us well so there’s always a lot of food and cooking-related items gifted and received. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and if you’re still celebrating, good for you! We had a few holiday gatherings and we were . . . → Read More: “In My Kitchen” January 2024

I have been posting black-eyed pea dips and appetizers on New Year’s for quite a few years. Some of these are creamy and served hot and some are cold or at room temperature. Honestly, I was never a black-eyed pea fan growing up, but I am now. I love creating these new recipes that fool . . . → Read More: Spicy-Cheesy Black-Eyed Pea Dip

I’m fast and furiously trying to finish up 2023 strong with my “best of” cookbook reviews. Today’s feature is a massive book but well worth the read—Tenderheart by Hetty Lui McKinnon. And the recipes? They sound phenomenal.

I’m cutting it close and hope to post a new review everyday until the end of the year. My goal of reviewing some of the best cookbooks of 2023 has been haphazard at best but I vow to finish strong!
Today’s hasty review is of Sweet Enough by Alison Roman.

I’m still working my way through some of the best cookbooks of 2023 (at least according to Bon Appetit).
Most of my reviews came from a massive library check-out. My bad that I requested all the books at once. I literally was walking out of the library balancing eight massive cookbooks. (When did they do . . . → Read More: Yogurt and Whey by Homa Dashtaki, a review
