Sunday dinners are often times of experimentation for me. My helper D is off on Sundays and the kids often want a home-cooked meal on Sunday night. And then there are some days one doesn’t want to spend too much time over a hot stove – which is why I often break out the steamboat … More Low Carb Sukiyaki
So I recently had some friends over and baked a spaghetti squash for them.

The wonderful thing about steamboat is that it’s about simmering a whole variety … More Homemade Chinese Steamboat
I held out for the longest time. I had steadily refused to buy an air fryer, citing a tiny kitchen that you can’t swing a cat by the tail in.
