I feel like we’ve come full circle in the rice department. 2007: Maybe we should switch from brown rice to white rice because it’s “healthier.” 2010: Oh, quinoa is better for you than rice? Ok, let’s do that. 2012: So, no grains? At all? Hello, cauliflower rice. 2016: Wait, what? We’re eating rice again? White …

There have been a lot of things I didn’t enjoy as a kid that I grew to love as an adult. Eggnog is one of them. I’m still super particular about the eggnog that I like, though. When we lived in Reno, the Costco carried half gallon cartons of Producers Dairy brand eggnog. So far, …

After writing two cookbooks with a total of 27 (!!) recipes for pulled meat (and five BBQ sauces) in both books, I thought it was rather sad that I didn’t have an Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe on my site. A total shame, right? It’s a classic recipe that everyone should have in their collection. …
Today is Steve’s birthday. The big 4-0, people. Steve’s the kind of guy who embraces stuff like that. I embrace it, too . . . on him. I like how his hair is on its way to be salt and peppery just like his dad’s. He’s lucky to have a full, thick head of it, …
