Learning to cook together
Growing up I would have Knott’s berry syrup with pancakes, waffles, and frybread scones. But now I can’t seem to find pre-made berry syrup anywhere. Luckily, it is very very easy to make your own with this berry syrup recipe. Simple ingredients, easy to make, delicious to eat. This […]
I may or may not have originally set out to make a pilaf. My original inspiration was this Rice-A-Roni copycat recipe. And then it didn’t go exactly as planned and I turned it into a wild rice soup recipe. I initially added too much liquid into the pot to […]
