I love the combination of peanut and ginger! I just can’t get enough of it. I’m having some work done on my kitchen this fall, so I’m stocking up on freezer meals. Neither Spiced Peanut Sheet Pan Chicken Supper nor Nutty Shrimp lends itself very well to a one-container freezer meal, so I needed to…
Black Raspberry Frozen Custard
If you’ve ever been to Abbott’s in Rochester, NY, you probably know that black raspberry frozen custard is a thing. Abbott’s first custard stand opened back in 1926, across the street from Lake Ontario. It was a popular spot for beachgoers in the summertime. They’ve since expanded to a handful of other areas, but…
Adobo-Lime Chicken & Rice
This gorgeous, delicious dish is both filling and good for you! It’s quick and easy enough for a weeknight dinner and will feed two people with leftovers for lunch. It does have a bit of a kick; cut the cayenne in half if you prefer things on the mild side. Replace the broth with water…

Long story short, I will be without a kitchen for at…
Greek Yogurt: Instant Pot
There are lots of reasons to make your own yogurt at home. Homemade is definitely cheaper if you eat a lot of yogurt. Plus, you and only you control what else goes into it. Thickeners, preservatives, artificial flavor, and sugar (sometimes lots of sugar) all frequently appear in store-bought yogurt. When you make your own…
Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp
Fresh, bright, delicious! This is one of my favorite recipes for the summer. It’s so simple, but the way the bay and lemon complement the shrimp is just perfect. It’s really easy to make, too. Sometimes I buy my shrimp already peeled and deveined because it saves a fair amount of time and effort. If…
Net Neutrality: Why You Should Care
Who should decide what you can and can’t see on the internet? Today is “Net Neutrality Day.” Organizations and individuals all over America are speaking out against the FCC’s plans to reverse regulations protecting net neutrality. I was planning to write a whole post on this subject. It’s nothing short of an assault on the…
