a collection of things i make with my hands
Do you like to cook? I do. (Duh, Amber. You’re a food blogger. Of course you like to cook.) I love to throw parties and make super amazing food for people. It’s a form of love, I think: feeding people. But feeding small people– my children– on a daily basis does not always bring me loving feelings. Let’s face it, kids can be picky. They complain easily when they find out you’re not making their favorite meal. And dinner comes around Every. Dang. Day. It’s relentless. Enter: Asian Lettuce Wraps.
The 4th of July is next week! So today I’m sharing with you this free printable for making super easy decorations for your Independence Day celebration! This vintage looking banner comes together really fast and is a perfect addition to your holiday festivities!
It’s barbecue season! Ok, I will happily eat barbecue any time of the year, but it’s basically a requirement for summertime. And what is barbecue without barbecue sauce? Unfortunately, most store-bought barbecue sauce is essentially pure sugar. What’s a keto mama like myself to do? Throw together this bourbon maple keto barbecue sauce, of course!
I am, by most standards, what many would call a “foodie” (even though I’m not a huge fan of the term.) And while it’s true that these days you’ll find us on our date nights at some of the Twin Cities’ best restaurants, the food I ate growing up was quite humble. Many of our family meals contained cans of condensed soup, Ritz crackers, and boxed potato products. I avoid most processed ingredients like those now, but I still find the flavors of my childhood to be very comforting. Enter: this beef and cauliflower rice skillet.
