organizing my most useful kitchen tools
The primary reason I started this blog was to catalog my tried and true recipes - those in my repertoire that I make with some frequency, but still can never quite seem to put my hands on when I have a craving for them. This Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe may have been one of the first soups I ever made, and when I was learning to cook it was so ... view more
When I first learned that quinoa can be cooked directly into a chili or stew {like with this recipe}, I was hooked.

If “quasi-goulash” were a thing, you would be reading a post about it now. But it is not; I just made that up. So instead, you are reading a post about a dish that started as a cross between marinara and Bolognese sauce.
