10 Must-Have Items in my Nomad Kitchen

Over the past three years, we've lived in a lot of places: Nova Scotia, Saba, Maryland, two places in Louisiana, and we're only half done our nomadic adventure! Since we travel mostly by plane and car and are living in 'furnished' apartments due to the short spans of time we live there, we've needed to make… Read More

Whole Wheat Pretzel Rolls

Let me be very clear: whole wheat is my nemesis. Now, I have nothing against whole wheat made by other people. In fact, I prefer it because it’s so much healthier. But when it comes to my own baking, it leaves me completely stumped because it’s so dense. I just cannot, CANNOT make it work,… Read More

Week 12

Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week! I've been busy tweaking the site, and I'm sure you've noticed a lot of changes! The site has gotten a bit of a facelift between the change in venue, the logo and the theme, and overall I feel like it's a vast improvement. I'm also replacing some… Read More

Crispy Crunchy Egg Rolls

I have only two rules for myself when I go to the grocery store: 1) Never go hungry, and 2) always always bring a list. Without these rules, shopping trips can turn into a disaster. My hungry self is VERY ambitious. As I wander the aisles I think of all the delicious things that I… Read More

Easy Homemade Vegetable Broth

I was not prepared for the weather in Louisiana. Can I just say that? It’s not the heat – I was well prepared for the heat, as much as I don’t like it. It was the drastic nature of its storms. On the day I made this broth and took pictures, it was so black… Read More

She makes enough to feed an army… no, two armies! and rarely are there any left in the basket. They go with EVERYTHING. Turkey Dinner. Tomato soup. Ham Dinner.… Read More

Nightshade Free Miracle Chili

Nightshade. Free. Chili. And that’s it. We’re done. Pack it up, move it out, blog’s over. I’m just kidding, of course. But seriously, guys. There’s no way I’m ever going to top this. This chili is… I just don’t even know how this is possible. It tastes almost exactly like tomato chili. With every mouthful,… Read More

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

So it seems I've settled into a winter food/crockpot rut over the last few weeks. I feel like I'm hibernating like an alligator (apparently they are sleeping now - I did not realize that alligators hibernate). And do you know what? I'm 100% okay with both the sleeping alligators and my delicious delicious crockpot streak. This week's… Read More

Homemade Chicken Stock

Oh chicken stock, what a journey we have been on. Once a kitchen staple so easily plucked from the grocery store shelves, you are no longer so easily imbibed. Ingredient labels bearing the words ‘starch’, ‘vegetable starch’, or even straight-up ‘potatoes’, you have failed me. (more…) Read More
