Syrniki for Breakfast

By Eliot, on May 29th, 2022

I’m cutting it close with both Cook the Books and Movies & Munchies posts for May. And, today’s post has something to do with both groups. You see, CTB’s last book was Red Sparrow.

Roasted Pepper Spaghetti (with Spaghetti Squash and Mushrooms)

By Eliot, on April 21st, 2022

I’m trying to be more inspired in the kitchen but truth be told we’re eating a lot of frozen (but homemade) food that was stored in the freezer, simply grilling something, or (gasp) eating takeout pizza.

It’s just hard to come up with new ideas that don’t require a lot of brain . . . → Read More: Roasted Pepper Spaghetti (with Spaghetti Squash and Mushrooms)
