Read MoreI accidentally wrote a cookbook that doesn’t follow any rules and has some swears in it. It is for normal people who like/need to cook but also have a medium amount of damns to give. It will especially work for people who want to read a recipe, definitely laugh, maybe…

Read MoreI am going to save dinner when your kids are melting down and you don’t have time for tomfoolery. Author’s note: Kids on Fridays are like miniature psychotics. With no shame, they will pitch a blazing fit over the “bossy way” you asked about their day. Do not fall for…

Read MoreI made up a recipe for Barbecue Braised Beans and Chicken because the big kids were coming for dinner and when Sydney is here, bacon and delicious pork things are forbidden. I forgot to take a photo, so this is all I have to show for it. So please enjoy…
