roasted chicken stock
While there are a few good store-bought stocks out there, there is nothing better than homemade stock to up the flavor and quality of any recipe.

Did you know some store-bought stocks… Continue reading roasted chicken stock

homemade chicken & mushroom ramen
Packaged ramen is a guilty pleasure of mine. Shh...I know this blog is all about real ingredients your grandmother would recognize.

I don't often follow the eating advice… Continue reading meal prep: lettuce wraps
