Because I do not like raw onions, I avoided cooking with them for years. I have since learned to love cooked onions when I realized what a difference they make in so many dishes. But I still do not like to cut onions. I can’t stand the pain and tears. So many times I’ve tried … Read more
I wanted to get one last soup in before the weather started staying warm all the time. Although judging by the past few days, I might be able to get another one in too. This meal takes a little extra effort, but it is so worth it – especially frying your own tortillas to use … Read more
Baking cakes from scratch is a relatively new habit for me. I’ve been doing it for just over a year now and I really enjoy it. However, while I’ve learned to make some mighty fine tasting cakes, I’ve yet to master the fine art of cake decorating. In fact, I don’t even own any tools … Read more
