This weekend, the wife and I decided to make some Austrian-style food. I was craving some veal and she wanted to make her grandmother’s spaetzle (fried dumplings). To make spaetzle, you mix 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg. In a separate bowl,Read more
Eggplant Parmesan is one of the cheapest meals you can make. Assuming that you already have oil, flour, eggs and bread crumbs in your kitchen, all you need is a jar of marinara sauce and an eggplant. I consider it a cleaner recipe, meaning I make it when I needRead more

This weekend my wife and I decided to try our hand at making butter. We heard it was easy, but weren’t sure what to expect. All you need is cream and a stand mixer. We poured in one pint of heavy whipping cream and set the speed on low forRead more
