I guess I’m on a budget kick lately.  Everything I’ve been cooking has been under ten euro, all-in.  I think maybe it’s the season, but it’s never a bad idea to watch your wallet.  However, never sacrifice taste for money.  This recipe is the epitome of big flavor for little dough.  Made from split yellow […]

If you have kale chips, you have everything you need in life.  This coming from a self confessed potato chip addict.  I will eat an entire family-sized bag in one sitting without even blinking twice.  This is very very counterintuitive to my health and wellness mindset.  So, I was extremely pleased upon finding out that […]

I have something to admit…. I love pickling!  I can be the world’s worst vegetable waster and plant killer.  I am notorious for buying veg and never getting around to cooking anything.  So, when I learned that pickling and home preserving are not only fun and tasty but you can keep vegetables in the fridge […]
