The Best Whipped Coffee (AKA Dalgona Coffee)

By

Hi, Okay, here I am, working on getting back to my new normal after the Derecho land hurricane hit us on August 10th, 2020. It left our house without power for 10 days. Some people are still without power as I write this, although, day-by-day the numbers of people without power are getting smaller. So, we moved back into our house as soon as our friend texted us that she drove by and saw lights on. It still feels like there is so much work to be done, but we will get there. A fresh new week, … [Read more...]

Classic Creamy Coleslaw (20 Minutes)

By

This recipe was previously published on Robust Recipes. It has been updated for a better user experience. Have you ever met a person who doesn't like coleslaw? Coleslaw is like the one salad that everyone likes. Even if you're not a salad person, you usually like a good creamy coleslaw. Nothing says summer to me like a big heaping side serving of creamy coleslaw next to my grilled whatever, or my BBQ slathered whatever, eaten on a paper plate outside. Half of the time I want to fill most … [Read more...]

Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry (30 Minutes)

By

  Who else loves Chinese food as much as I do?!?! Well, American Chinese food, that is. I have never been to China, but, from what I understand, what we consider to be Chinese food isn't really authentic Chinese food. Not even close. Some day I hope to find out for myself. Although, my parents did find this out for themselves and didn't really enjoy the Chinese food while they were in China, but that was before I was even born, so I am sure some things have changed since they … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola (Dessert Granola)

By

Hi Friends, I hope you are doing well. There is so much going on in the world lately. I know that food doesn't solve anything besides hunger; but it can nourish us, bring us joy, give us a little comfort. Food can bring us together, even when we have to be apart, food can heal.

I know it's not solving problems, but creating … [Read more...]

Part of this was because there is a lot of comfort to be found in baking, this is very true. The other part is that stores were being bought out of sandwich bread, so people were getting resourceful. And I am assuming the other reason was to try something new, as a way to make the most of extra time spent at home. All of those reasons are great reasons to try your hand at … [Read more...]
