I have always loved the Kitchen and enjoy creating and sharing my cooking with others

Everyone has a passion...something that makes them feel alive, vibrant, confident, and a part of something bigger than themselves. For me, that is cooking, creating dishes in the kitchen, sharing recipes,tips, tricks, and some musing.

I am vegan but my family is not. That said, their favorite dishes will also be included as I want to share my kitchen with as many people as possible. I hope you try some of these recipes out. If you do, please let me know what you think.

And, sharing and creating kitchen memories is not a one way street. I hope you will share your own recipes and other kitchen knowledge. Send me pictures of your creations, leave requests for dishes you want to see, and ask for specific information on tips and tricks.

While this cookbook is in my port here on WDC, I want it to be a community endeavor where we can get to know each other through food
Food is more than just something to eat...it's life, something that us as important as breathing.

So. Welcome and I hope you find a place to belong and to express yourself freely.

A great recipe recommended by Max Griffin πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Author IconMail Icon

I took the liberty of using his picture of the finished dish to include here. He did make a couple of minor changes that I am including here so that you may try them as well πŸ˜‰

Added diced carrots celery red peppers and jalapeΓ±os

Links he thought would be helpful:

https://www.amazon.com/JETKONG-Powdered-Dispenser-Stainless-Spring-operated/dp/B...


He suggested this tool as a way to add the flour that is needed to be whisked into the recipe to avoid getting clumps of flour in the final product, which I think is genius as I also have had this happen when making various recipes πŸ˜‰


Please let us know what you think πŸ€”

In the US breakfast often brings to mind biscuits,eggs, sausage, bacon,gravy,cereal, orange juice or even poptarts. BUT that doesn't have to be the case. At one time in the not so distant past,breakfast was often leftovers from last night's dinner. And, for me, that is often the case still. I find that I enjoy a more savory breakfast that incorporates leftovers,which reduce my food waste as well as my overall cost since I'm not purchasing specific foods just for breakfast. I just use what I already have. And because the food has already been cooked, it takes mere seconds to warm.

I also noticed that when I have this kind of breakfast, I am more satisfied and stay full longer. I noticed I don't snack as much on these days and that keeps my mood and energy up. I simply don't obsess about food when I eat this kind of breakfast. But best of all, I don't waste food.

During my lifetime, I have had periods that were hard financially. During these times, I often went without enough to eat. I learned to appreciate every resource I had and to preserve any unused resource to make my life better. That included learning how to lessen my waste of food. Every scrap became an opportunity to create more from less. Scraps became broth and baaes for new dishes. I began eating every leftover stretching my dollars and making my resources last longer.

Today, even though I am no longer in that situation, I continue those practices. I realize that I and many others are only one emergency away from returning to scarcity. Life events do not make appointments. They don't schedule ahead. They don't care if you're ready for their arrival. Therefore I will remain frugal as I am painfully aware that stability is never a guarantee...Only a current state in an ever changing world.
