Pardon my extended absence, I was busy giving birth. Meet my newest future kitchen slave:
This is Ethan, and I am pretty much in love with him. Conveniently my other future kitchen slave, Greyson, is pretty much in love with him too.
This does not, however, lend itself to extended kitchen time so I missed my Daring Bakers post, and I had some pregnancy-related health issues that kept me from cooking much lately anyway.
I do have a strawberry meringue pie to share with you soon, and I think I’m going to start a once-a-week feature on making the most of quality prepackaged foods, like what we did with Zatarain’s red beans and rice tonight.
Til next time.



Just wanted to say that I am happy to see that you are doing well and I look forward to reading more of your posts when you get the time to do them again. Take care.
He is beautiful. Congratulations!
