A while back I made this delicious slow cooker pork. I made a large portion and then froze some of it. So when I needed an easy meal for a busy week night, I pulled out the pork to defrost and used it to make pork tacos. I recommend getting the small, corn tortillas insteadRead more
Sister just told me that they are doing a winter share of their CSA, and added an extra share of eggs too. Then she found out that the winter CSA comes with 2 dozen eggs each week, and she doesn’t know yet how many more eggs she’ll get with the extra share of eggs. SoRead more
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great time, and the meal was dubbed “one of the best ever” (this may be said almost every year since we have basically the same menu every year).

However, with the season is changing, I’m looking forward to baked oatmeals. I made this this week when visiting my parents, and it’s delicious. It packsRead more
It’s definitely starting to feel like fall in Maryland. The leaves are vibrant shades of yellows and reds, and I’m loving driving through the falling leaves. It’s sweater weather, and the leaves are starting to crunch beneath your feet when you walk anywhere. Fall is my favorite season. And in the spirit of fall things,Read more
While Boyfriend worked on removing some radiators from our house this weekend, I went to my parents’ house and hung out with Mom. We did a bit of baking and she made this awesome pork dish for us. You can buy packages of pork tenderloin that usually have two pieces together, whichRead more
I’ve been holding out on you. I made this recipe last year, but never had a picture and then it wasn’t pear season anymore, so I never got to share it. So this year, I got to it nice and early, so you can make it again and again while pears are easily accessible. ThisRead more
