Every summer, my family and I like to make our own dill pickles. We have a whole assembly line of us each doing different duties. My cousin and I tend to peel the garlic together, which arguably is the worst job. I remember one year, we didn’t have enough cucumbers to fill all the jars that we had accumulated. My ...
When I had a lot of time for cooking, I played with the idea of making my own channel called “Kaiti’s Curries” because I love curry so much. I noticed that curry does tend to be heavy and filling. It’s perfect for fall and wintertime! Once spring and summer roll through I can only eat so much of it, but ...
If there was a place in the United States that I was to visit strictly for food, it would be Louisiana. Many of my friends and family have raved over how fantastic Cajun cuisine is. What if we could bring Louisiana home with us? Surely, it won’t be anything like a Mardi Gras celebration, but there’s more to creole faire ...
Below is one of my favorite episodes of “I Love Lucy.” I think a lot of us ladies feel this way, especially now most of us are a part of the workforce. Dads are now staying at home with the kids and cooking! That means more cookbooks are necessary for every single one of us! Most of us don’t have ...
With Valentine’s Day coming up and my general cravings, all I can think about is chocolate. Can you believe that I used to hate chocolate? Now, I cannot get enough of it! Learning all the different things you can do with chocolate is going to be dangerous, but I think the time has come to start! (Disclosure: Some of the ...
Some of you may know that I’ve been diving into a plant-based diet this year. Honestly, I was dreading it, but after a few weeks of the change I’m realizing how I don’t notice the difference. Vegan food is super tasty! Now I’m more eager to look at some more vegan-oriented cookbooks to see what more I can experiment with. ...
I know this year I want to dedicate more time to cooking meals out of my cookbooks! That includes taking my cast-iron skillet from the back of the cabinet and putting it front and center for a lot of my cooking. Does anyone else get nervous about using their cast iron? (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are ...
My guilty food pleasure is street foods hands down. I love street food from all places, whether it is the famous taco, or pad Thai, or burgers. It’s all delicious! It tends to be my go-to anytime I can’t think of anything grand to make at home, but I usually end up grabbing take-out. I think I’ve finally found the ...
I love meat and cheese, but honestly a lot of the time a delicious vegetable stir-fry with tofu is exactly what I’m craving. There are so many ways to use tofu, just like you would any animal product. One of my favorite parts about tofu is that it absorbs all the flavor. Marinate tofu in delicious teriyaki or a lemon ...
I remember watching Martha Stewart as a kid with my grandma. We would be cooking in her kitchen along with Martha many, many times. I enjoyed it! Including Martha’s gardening and decorating tips, even as a child. As an adult, I recognize that Martha Stewart is the pinnacle of all things domestic! (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post ...
