Yes, I know I have mentioned time and time again that my husband doesn’t eat pork. That doesn’t mean, however, that we never have dinner guests that do. Which is why I bought ground pork at a deal a while back and stuck it in the freezer. Over the weekend, my aforementioned cousin and her [...]

With all the special arrangements I make when cooking, I still know to other people it seems very, very hard. I even pack up food for the baby to send to my mom’s house when he stays over there because it’s confusing. Tonight we are going to my cousin’s graduation party, where there will definitely [...]
