  This is a really, really good salad, but only if you’re hopelessly in love with goat cheese like I am. This salad is like a cross between a green salad and a potato salad with some fresh green beans thrown in. It’s quite a strange-sounding combination, but the goat cheese dressing is what brings …

Recently I had some chuck roasts in the freezer. I wanted the meat to be flavored like the steaks my mom and dad make all the time, but I didn’t want to cut them and grill them like steaks because chuck roast is a pretty tough cut of meat. Only a slow cooker could make …

Part Three: the ginger rice. I saved the best for last. It may look like plain old rice, but it’s far from it. I could seriously eat an entire pot of this myself. With nothing else on it. I’m not joking. There’s a catch, though. You must like ginger to like this rice. The ginger …

I finally tried out these brownies. I couldn’t wait any longer because I really wanted one. BAD. And I knew they’d probably be blog-worthy, and I haven’t posted a recipe in a while. The brownie part of these was especially good. Even the batter. I had to make a valiant effort to pry the spatula …
