My plan for book club was to make one of my Mom’s pies. I got the recipe and was all ready to go…until I couldn’t find the main ingredient in the grocery store. So there I was, standing in D’Ag at 8:45 PM the night before, no idea what I was going to make. I…

I’m so happy to have finally gotten back into a [more] normal routine. I am back to cooking regularly, and I am working my way back into a regular gym routine (baby steps). It feels good to behave like a normal person…though all that routine is going to go out the door when I leave…

I don’t know that you can call it a burger when there’s no bun. If we’re getting technical, I actually don’t know that you can call it a burger when it’s made with turkey. All this rule breaking – it’s anarchy! I’m not a fan if turkey burgers in general. They’re usually too dry, but…
