#156: Calamari

Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat when I get fried seafood. The crunchy exterior with a chewy, but tender center in a ring shape is just the best when made properly. But often when I order this appetizer at a restaurant, it’s usually lacking in some department. So, I typically pass over… Read More

I’ve been meaning to make a sushi recipe for a while now, especially after we made the onigiri recipe a few years ago, and I thought that the California Roll would be the perfect one to start with! The California Roll interestingly has a complicated origin story, with the roll’s invention being disputed, either being… Read More

Pfeffernüsse, meaning Peppernuts in German, are small spice cookies originating from Germany that are typically enjoyed during the Christmas season.

The first time I had heard about this dish was actually from the animated movie, The Incredibles, when Mr. Incredible is lavished with what I thought was a very fancy meal, but it actually turned out to be quite a cheap and easy thing to make, even from scratch. Of course, you can buy pre-made… Read More


#107: Homemade Beef Jerky

#107: Homemade Beef Jerky

One of my favorite things to get on long road trips is beef jerky. The pure protein is a great way to stay energized and satiated on long drives without the sugar crash from other popular convenience store snacks.
