Ok guys, today I want to teach you a how to cook dry beans with a method that takes much less time than the traditional “Soak them overnight” method. Honestly, I wouldn’t have even thought to share this except that a friend once asked me “Is there some way to cook beans that doesn’t take […]
With the peak of fall just ahead of us, I figured it was time to get some apple things up on on the blog. This homemade apple pie filling is one of the easiest things you’ll ever make; it smells like all the warm coziness of fall and tastes like the season’s greatest joys. The […]
Once again, I bring you another easy and delicious bread recipe: whole wheat rolls. These rolls are based on my Easy Whole Wheat Bread recipe, just with a little less whole wheat flour, a little more white flour, and slightly different directions to make them fluffier. If you prefer a denser roll, you can certainly […]
Earlier this year, I shared a recipe for Easy Cinnamon Rolls with Vanilla Glaze. It was a hit! So, as a part of my sourdough journey this year, I decided to try making a sourdough version! The idea to make these with a sourdough base actually came up because my mom is also (like me) […]
On the request of my cousin (and for my own memory’s sake), I’ve decided to share the birth story of our first baby, a baby girl. Hopefully I can do a good job of writing it. ________________ On July 12, my sister and her family were in town for a visit, due to leave the […]
Well, it’s taken me a while to post this, but better late than never, right? Almost exactly a month ago, we welcomed our little baby girl in this world! Faith Yvette Krasinkiewicz was born on July 13 at 8:58pm, weighing 6 lbs 9 oz, and measuring 20 inches long. She is beautiful, and her sweet […]
Hey guys! It’s me again, with another winner for your recipe collection! My Aunt Anita, or “Tante ‘Nita” as we call her (who is an amazing cook/baker), gave this recipe to my mom years ago. And, well, I’ve learned that any recipe you find in my mom’s house that has “Tante ‘Nita” written on it […]
This is my classic, go-to, easy vanilla buttercream recipe. I have used this for thousands of cupcakes and many many many (did I say many?) cakes! Rather than making this and then photographing one set of cupcakes to go with this post, I just hunted through my years of cake decorating photos to showcase a […]
I came up with this recipe during the beginning of my sourdough journey because I just couldn’t bring myself to throw away my excess starter. After all, I paid for those ingredients! Also, I was tired of waiting for my sourdough starter to come to life… I just wanted to make bread! I know there […]
I recently had a day where all I wanted was a warm, chewy chocolate chip cookie with crispy edges. And, well, my usual chocolate chip cookie recipe just wasn’t the right thing (I typically make the thick, soft, yet somewhat-dense cookie). Anyway, I set to work figuring out how to make a cookie that would […]
