Over the past year, I have caught and eaten a lot of trout and have improved my methods for cooking and eating during that time. The trout we catch here in the high mountain lakes of Utah are smaller. At first, we tried skinning, deboning, and filleting the trout only to end up with a … More Grilled Trout on an Indoor Grill
For any hectic week when you need a delicious chicken dinner, this is the recipe to make! I was away from home this week and needed to make a nice hearty dinner. Luckily I had my slow-cooker!
Sometime I don’t have time to sit around the kitchen cooking Indian food, which always seems to be rather labor intensive. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with recipes and the slow cooker.

When I was much younger, my best friend and I would watch certain parts of movies over and over until we nearly peed our pants laughing. Like that scene in the Little Mermaid when Sebastian runs up … More Spinach Quiche
What should we have for dinner? This is a question that Ryan and I alternatively ask each other day in and day out. Usually after one of us was sitting at breakfast, staring into our bowl of oatmeal and pondering what cravings we are having for the day.
