Learning to cook together
For something so simple and, on its own, kind of plain, potatoes are quite magical. Especially when boiled and whipped together to make these homestyle mashed potatoes. I’ve even made mashed potatoes from homegrown plants before. It was especially entertaining to make mashed potatoes with the blue potatoes we […]
These simple, sticky, and delicious vanilla Rice Krispie treats will delight nearly everyone. I don’t know what’s up with this theme lately, but this one is another that my wife taught me. Just like the easy pumpkin muffins, this was one my wife always whipped up for us. Until […]

But somewhere down the line, this became my wife’s family Thanksgiving punch recipe. However, the most memorable time we shared this punch together was during a Thanksgiving get-together […]
