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. That's why I'm often the weird family member at Thanksgiving excitedly asking for the turkey carcass to take home to go make stock... 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
