I decided this week to go with a soup. It's not quite sweater weather yet, but Tony loves soups. Frankly, so do I. I wanted to go with something simple because we are still working on the house. We are in the home stretch and everything we finish just makes the house complete. I am [...]
Welcome to the new year! Welcome to another black eyed pea dish to wish us all good luck for the upcoming year. We will need it with COVID staying firmly in the mix. For those who are new to this blog, I pick a black eyed pea dish as my New Year's good luck charm. [...]
Our house is moving closer to being done. My brother, and IT guy, made the house 21st century. We moved to do this because so much is being done connected to the internet. Working from home, streaming television and music and electronic assistants all draw down on internet. Our setup is closer to an office [...]
Michigan is warming up, kinda. Well, we seem to have one day that feels almost like Summer, then the next a bit of frost. Tony says Mother Nature got April and May mixed up this year. I agree. Things are moving along around here. Tony is starting work on a documentary project. He has been [...]
I can't seem to get enough bean recipes. Dry beans are no sweat with the Instant Pot. Throw the dry beans in the pot with the rest of the ingredients and after 35 minutes of cook time, they are perfectly cooked, even if they are old. Using the traditional cooking method, sometimes I would get [...]
Tony asked me if I would do more bean dishes. Of course I will. There's nothing like a comforting bowl of beans and rice on a cold day. I see no end in sight for different types of dishes. I keep thinking that I will run out of options, but so far I haven't. It's [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Let's hope this year goes better than the last. Hopefully you have learned about building your own workout station at home. With COVID, it's a good excuse not to give the gym your hard earned money. Make sure who you follow is legit too. Anyone can say they are professionals, but [...]
I really haven't done too may burgers this summer. I guess I haven't been as inspired this year because of what's going on. With that being said, this veggie burger recipe is something that I only see with meat. Mesquite is typically associated with smoked meat. While I am pretty much a vegetarian now, that [...]
When I first saved this recipe to blog, I didn't really know the history of this dish. Looking a bit further, I found out this is an African American from South Carolina. But, it's more than that. According to Wikipedia, "The Gullah are African Americans who live in the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, in both the [...]
This week has been crazy busy. Not enough time to cook my usual weekly meal. I did realize that I had not shared my new cold lunch. I love having a go to recipe that I can make quickly and ahead of time when I need to take my meal on the go. I don't [...]
