Dear Kitchen Wife: Vol. 1

Dear Kitchen Wife: Vol. 1
So often I get asked questions about substitutions, technique, cooking temperatures, and more.  Most of the time I answer these questions on a personal basis, but I thought it would be fun to, once a week, answer a "Dear Kitchen Wife" with you all.  This way we can all grow and learn new…

Meal Planning 102
Recently I posted about meal planning  101!  I received great feedback on it, but with that feedback was the consistent question "Yeah, but how do you do it?" Now, as I have said before, I am not an expert on anything, but I will, of course, share what I do, and what works for me.  For ti…

Emergency Buttermilk...
 Have you ever been in the middle of making a recipe and discovered "OH NO!  I NEED BUTTERMILK!?!  I DON'T HAVE BUTTERMILK!"?  Yeah, me too.  There was a time when I would have just thrown everything out and ordered pizza, but not anymore! The other day I was watching a program on t…

Let's Get Real About Herbs...

Let's Get Real About Herbs...
Last night was frozen pizza, and there was no recipe for today.  So, I thought I would take this opportunity to answer a couple questions I get asked all the time.  Is it okay to use dried herbs in my food?  They say not to on T.V..  & Do you use the same amount of dry herbs in a recipe as fresh…
