just our day to day life
Our fridge was more empty this week than it has been in a very long time…perhaps ever. It wasn’t as dire as it sounds, because we could have made it work for another week or so, and if you count the cupboards and freezers, we …
We hadn’t had fish in a few weeks, so when I needed something that would thaw quickly for the next day, frozen tilapia filets would be perfect. When I organized the pantry recently, I found some gluten-free breadcrumbs and thought I’d give them a shot. …
