Cookbook Roundup! [Cooking]

Posted on 2021-12-23 by RB

Despite the disproportionate number of recipe blogs that pop up in my search suggestions, I’m still a fan of the traditional cookbook. In fact, I have about thirty or so lining a couple of bookshelves in my kitchen. Yes, I have a bookcase in my kitchen. And in my living room. And bedroom. And home…

Productive Procrastination [Creativity]

Posted on 2021-12-14 by RB

I recently stumbled upon a term I hadn’t heard before: Productive Procrastination. The basic definition is when someone is productive as a way to avoid doing some other productive endeavor. Weird, right? But I get it. I know I’m guilty of it myself. I’ve caught myself working on a blog post instead of editing a…

Gift Ideas for Writers [Writing]

Posted on 2021-12-10 by RB

Buying gifts for writers can be easy. Most people simply buy us books or give us gift certificates to book stores, which is perfectly fine. I love buying books, supporting my fellow writers, and helping out local bookstores. Of course, that can also become repetitious and you may want to do something different for your…

Sweet Potato Casserole [Cooking]

Posted on 2021-11-26 by RB

My partner loves sweet potatoes. No lie, she will gladly eat them in pretty much anything, any combination, any form or shape. Sweet potato ice cream? She’s on it. Sweet potato fries? Absolutely. Sweet potato mashed with parsnips and used as a topping for cottage pie? She’ll want a second helping. And possibly a third….

Mushroom Update [Gardening]

Posted on 2021-10-05 by RB

A few weeks back I posted about the mushroom grow kit I picked up from NorthSpore. Blue oyster mushrooms, to be exact. The instructions that came with the kit said the spores should start to do their thing in about two weeks. Lo and behold, thirteen days later…mushrooms! Well, not full-grown mushrooms, but they started…

Making Mushrooms [Cooking]

Posted on 2021-09-15 by RB

So my partner has been on a mushroom kick lately. I think it started when she happened upon this YouTube channel. I was also pulled in after watching a few of their videos. I’ve always enjoyed mushrooms, incorporate them into a few of my dishes, but I really don’t know much about them. White button,…

Sunday Roast Chicken [Cooking]

Posted on 2021-07-09 by RB

Cooking a chicken on Sunday is a tradition in my house. It’s part of my meal prep for the week. Once or twice a month I cook a whole chicken, then shred it and store it in smaller freezer bags so I can use it throughout the week. Some makes it into lunches, some ends…

Beet-Pickled Turnips! [Recipe]

Posted on 2021-06-15 by RB

Yeah, I know, you’re asking yourself “why did he do this?” It was an experiment. I was making a batch of roasted root vegetables and ended up with a few extra beets and turnips. I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I didn’t want to stick them back in the veggie drawer in the…

Banana Bread Two Ways

Posted on 2021-05-252021-05-25 by RB

If you’ve watched my cooking show, you’ll know that my partner loves her some banana bread. She buys a bunch of bananas every month and refuses to eat them in the hopes that they’ll turn brown and I’ll make a loaf. Or two. It’s become a bit of a game with us, with me reminder…

Richard’s Kitchen – Chili Recipe!

Posted on 2021-03-23 by RB

Yep, I’m back in the kitchen after a long and unexpected hiatus. If it’s still kinda cold where you reside, seems like a perfect time to make chili. It’s incredibly easy, quick to make, stores well, and the ingredients won’t break the bank. In fact, you probably have most of them in your kitchen already….
