Learning to cook together
My wife loves breakfast food and could have it for every meal. I’m not as big of a fan and usually prefer to have breakfast foods during breakfast or brunch. And when I do go for it, pancakes have long held my top spot for batter-based breakfast foods. So […]
Soft, chewy, and packed with flavor – these homemade pretzels are the perfect snack or appetizer for parties, family gatherings, and other special events. Follow this simple pretzel recipe to make some terrific twisted baked goods for yourself. Pretzels became my go-to lunch in middle school. I could get […]
I’ve got an alliteration problem. See my pesto pizza pasta salad or my chocolate chipotle chili con carne. I’m back at it again. This time with a perfect pillowy-soft puffy pita recipe. I just can’t help myself. Sorry. I honestly wanted to make a spanakopita dip with homemade fried […]

I made a lot of pasta for this post. Like, so much that there are no more eggs available in my house. And I started off with one of the huge Costco egg cartons. But I did it because making that many batches really forces you to learn how […]
Dutch baby pancake. Dutch puff. I always knew them as German pancakes. In my mind, these do not really resemble regular old pancakes. I mean these ones are baked in the oven, not on the stovetop. They are also much denser with their ratio of liquids to dry ingredients […]
