Hi there! I’m still spending most of my time reading. I’m currently working my way through the largest book I’m attempting to read so far this year. It’s Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. During my drives, I’m chugging along with Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth. I’m really enjoying both so far. Is it spring yet?? It sure doesn’t feel like it. Even though it’s supposed to be.

Sometimes Life Gets Busy
Sometimes life gets a little busy. And sometimes you find yourself saying, “Where did the time go?” I can’t believe it’s been nearly two weeks since my last post. Frankly, I haven’t had much to post. With the holiday last weekend and poor planning on my part, I haven’t had a chance to spend some time in the kitchen working on recipes. However, with multiple days off this week (thanks to some vacation time) and a pretty much empty weekend, I should have plenty of opportunity to whip something up.
I’m currently thinking of making Ina Garten’s recipe for brioche loaves this weekend. Who says bread baking is only for the winter?! But, I’m also itching to get my hands back into the Magnolia Bakery Handbook. Perhaps a tasty muffin or scone recipe is on tap, too.
A Quick Update
It’s been a while since the last time I’ve made anything food-wise. That’s obviously led to the blog being a bit quiet. However, this weekend I am excited to try something new! A coworker of mine raises ducks and she gave me a full dozen duck eggs to try. I’ve heard that duck eggs are wonderful to use in baking, so naturally, I have to test it out. The results will be coming soon!
Friday Cooking
Starting this week, I am going to try to return to cooking each Friday for my family. But, as usual, the first and largest task of them is deciding what to make…..
No Recipes Again
Last weekend was busy for me! Which was great, in a way, since it was the first busy weekend for me in a while. But it also meant that I didn’t get a chance to bake or cook. So, there will not be a recipe update this week.
I do plan to post and herbal update later in the week though, so stayed tuned!
No Recipe Update This Week
I did cook last week for the family as I have been doing. But, I opted not to make a recipe from Barefoot Contessa or any chef. Instead, I did my own recipe, which I do plan to publish on the site at some point. I have a cookbook haul to talk about later in the week, so stay tuned for that! I’m very excited about it.
A Quick Update
There has been so much going on over the last few days! Luckily though, I’ve been able to get some recipes in and will be posting about them next week!
Back at It
After taking the weekend off, I am already thinking about what to make this weekend. I am really itching to do something different, of course I have many options to choose from.
I’ll let you know what it ends up being!
Busy Few Days in the Kitchen…
Aside from the usual Friday night dinner recipe (which I made on Saturday this week), I made two additional recipes that I didn’t really plan on making. Luckily, I was able to make them all Ina recipes, so they all count towards the blog! Stay tuned this week as I review and post about each one!
Of course, I’ll have an herbal related post, even though they are less popular than some others. And I’ll be posting my February wrap-up post as well!
Cooking Update 2/12/2021
Tonight for dinner I am making a chicken dish that I created myself. But, it has been quite some time since I made it last. In fact, I can’t even remember the last time I made it! I do plan to post the recipe for my Sweet & Sour Chicken early next week. The best part? It’s so easy and quick to make thanks to the use of some store-bought ingredients!
