Mason is not the only one cooking lately. When I realized that we were limited on trip out of the house for groceries, I became even more determined to use what we have on had. A few days ago, I turned an unopened gallon of milk that was about to expire into paneer. Paneer is […]
After he finished his schoolwork today, Mason was hunting for an activity. He wanted to prepare something edible. I remembered I had a package of puff pastry in the freezer. He pulled up a recipe that he had reviewed in the past and before I knew it, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of […]
Bill went grocery shopping and reported that the shelves at the grocery stores are bare. What’s left on the pasta aisle is gluten free and whole wheat.
