Elevating Family Mealtime (& Bringing Back the Joy in Eating)

TorrieUpdated on August 27, 2018October 19, 2016

With October well underway, we are now firmly in the last quarter of the year, which has got me thinking long and hard about the resolutions I set all the way back in January. One of my biggest challenges for myself was to complete my 100 Hours in the Kitchen project, which, surprising even to …

How I Cut Our Food Waste in Half

TorrieUpdated on August 27, 2018October 7, 2016

 (making muffins to use up our brown bananas) It’s October, which means that we’re officially in the last quarter of the year. You might remember that I’ve been working on my cooking skills this year with my 100 Hours in the Kitchen Project. You also might remember that for the last quarter, my focus has …

Cooking Economically: Making Your Own (Foolproof) Broth

TorrieUpdated on January 15, 2019July 1, 2016

As I mentioned in my initial post on my 100 Hours in the Kitchen project, it only takes about 100 hours of doing something to become significantly more advanced than a beginner (as compared to the 10,000-hour theory that says that you must spend 10,000 hours to become a master at anything). Now, I know …

Things That Bring Me Joy: Baking

TorrieUpdated on March 5, 2020July 17, 2013

I know I’ve blogged a bit about my love of baking before, but this is just too big of a passion not to write about a little more. For a long time (up until about three years ago), I didn’t call myself a cook: I only referred to myself as a baker, since my specialties …

In Defense of Cooking

TorrieUpdated on July 27, 2023March 28, 2013

At every full-time job I’ve ever had, I’ve noticed something: I am usually the only one in my workplace that brings lunch that I have cooked myself. At my last job (which was the first job I got after I was married), I quickly realized that due to financial reasons, I pretty much had to pack …
