Simple Orange Sauce
I’m going to share this easy orange sauce because although it’s simple, it can be used for so many things. Simply combine all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring continuously, then drop to low and simmer until it’s a nice glaze. My kids love orange chicken (the fried tempura chicken)…

Deer Run
Love love love! This is the new 2024 upgraded version and it’s awesome. It has a remote control for your wrist that is fantastic and it feels so solid. Pull it out of the box and plug it in. It’s that easy! Here’s the link.

Let’s Get It!
My Deer Run arrived! Gary is turning our game area into a gym and I’m completely on board with it. I recently got rid of my pink treadmill bc it was so bulky (I traded Regina for a recumbent bike), and I’ve been wanting a walking pad for a while! I can’t wait to hop…

Summer Dress Season
I have to share because I’m so crazy about this dress. And it’s only 32$!! Gary ordered this for me, so I had no idea it was coming, so when it showed up I thought it was a mistake and he’d forgotten he ordered it. I was on the phone with him saying “ the…

My Le Creuset order arrived and I’m sooooo in love! The Nectar is such a happy color and yellow has been my color for as long as I can remember. I wanted it to match my dining room place mats and dishes. 💛😊 Ironically the only Le Creuset things that I own are all Sauteuse,…

Yay Yay- Le Creuset
Well, I cancelled my Amazon order bc they didn’t have my color in stock and I’m SO glad I did! I ordered my bread oven overnight straight from Le Creuset and I got a 2 piece bakeware set for free! That made the 22$ shipping fee totally worth it! Always go to “Specials” before checking…

Leftover Steak Salad
We had leftover ribeyes from our Easter cookout and leftover pimento cheese in our salads last night. It was soooo good. I enjoyed that way more than steak and potatoes! And yes, those are sourdough croutons. 😄 You can find my pimento cheese recipe in the menu or click here.

Pimento Cheese!
Yesterday we wanted something light for lunch because we were grilling steaks for dinner, so made Pimento Cheese and Chicken Salad to eat with our Sourdough bread and it was a big hit. I used a pretty generic chicken salad so I won’t waste time posting that but the Pinento Cheese was amazing! You can…

Crispy Potato Salad
Y’all!!! You gotta try this Crispy Potato Salad. My friend Jess posted a reel of someone making it, but I didn’t like a lot of the ingredients she used, so I made my own version. Toss tater tots on a pan in the oven at 500 degrees, remove after 5 minutes and smash them flat.…

A little Reminder
There’s so much emphasis put on temps, vessels, timing etc. and a lot of what makes good sourdough, is just a strong, well fed and fermented starter. The rest of this stuff is pretty forgiving. Again… let’s think about our ancestors process when we start splitting hairs. 🤪😆 The baker’s skill in managing fermentation, not…

Making Roux
I always like to have dry roux on hand for soups and Gumbo! I do 2 lbs at a time because it’s a long process and it makes the house smell burnt for 24 hrs. I’d rather only make it a few times a year! All you need is AP flour, a metal whisk and…

Easy “Fried” Chicken
I love my air fryers. I use my large one when I make this for the family but I just did two breasts for my lunch today and tomorrow, so I’m using my 3 qt fryer with the crisping rack removed. It’s so simple and yummy. – Wash and trim breasts (Yes I wash my…
