Weekly Menu: February 8
It’s that time again…
Homemade macaroni and cheese
There are few foods that are synonymous with being homemade. Macaroni and cheese is one of those. It tastes so good because of its simplicity. There are recipes out there that add all sorts of foreign objects into the dish, but I like it the old fashioned way. There are only 8 ingredients used when …
From Scratch Hamburger Buns
Today’s lunch options were limited to PB&J sandwiches. The kids probably would have been happy with that but I found some frozen fish in the back of my freezer and decided that a fish sandwich sounded mighty fine for lunch today. Eating that on my homemade bread sounded gross so I decided to embark …
General’s Chicken: Why Order Take Out When You Can Do It Better Yourself?

Pasta Carbonara
Illness struck our house this week.

Go big or go …
Quick Homemade Breadsticks
