Adjust for Elevation? First, the basics.
What do I mean when I say that you should adjust your recipe for elevation? Most canning recipes are formulated by/written for people living at/near sea level … because–quite simply–a large percentage of the people on this planet live below … Continue reading

iSandwich, Shoreline WA
We’ve had so many other things on our plate this week that cooking at home has pretty much been a luxury, rather than the norm. We’ve eaten out more than we usually do–by a long-shot–so that old “What do you … Continue reading

I had another jar of porridge for breakfast, so I’m sharing a picture with you
I hadn’t put the jars of porridge in the fridge yet, so–while they were still at room temperature and easier to heat in the jar–I decided one would make a perfect breakfast this morning. Easy to fix, too! Spin the … Continue reading
