Welcome to Litsy!

The photo doesn't do the stew justice, but it was SO GOOD. I couldn't find fresh habañeros*, so I used a jalapeño and a few dashes of habañero hot sauce. Caribbean-Style Swiss Chard and Butternut Squash Stew from the tagged.

*About 20 years ago, I had a habañero plant in a container on the balcony of our apartment in North Carolina. It grew to about three feet tall and produced at least a hundred habañeros. And now I can't find one pepper. *sigh*

It‘s corn season!! 🥳🌽

By contrast to the fail on the sourdough, this chowder has amazing flavor! My only regret is not having enough leftovers for a complete meal tonight. (I even doubled the recipe.) #Mtcookbook

My mom came over for supper, and I made steel cut oatmeal with real maple syrup and topped with some granola (that part was my mom‘s idea). Enough for the two of us with some leftovers for my breakfast tomorrow 😋 🥄

Thai Beef Salad 5⭐️

Oh my oh my, this was so good last night! I can‘t wait to eat it again for dinner tonight. No finish photo because I was starving. #Mtcookbook

Scrambled eggs for dinner 🥚

Took myself out for brunch (vanilla latte and egg and cheese on a cheddar chive biscuit) along with my cookbook to plan what I‘m making my mom for Mother‘s Day.

Indonesian Shrimp Fried Rice for #Mtcookbook! I love all of the concise options ATK offers in one place. I‘m a big fan of tables & charts with variations of something.

From now on my rice preference is basmati, as blasphemous to the stir fried rice tradition as that might be.

Tonight I‘m going to try the orange sesame. 😋 (With chili crisp of course.) ♥️

Score for $1.99 😃 Sometimes good things come to those who wait. I‘ve checked this out of the library a couple times.

Happily adding elevation to #Mtcookbook

Sometimes baking makes me nervous. I‘m not sure why. I‘m much better at regular cooking. But let me tell you, this sweet potato cornbread from The Savory Baker was easy and my husband LOVED it. My first time making it! The recipe called for baking in a cast iron pan, but I wanted to make muffins instead. I also made some honey-cayenne butter to spread on them and oh my goodness *chef‘s kiss*

I love America‘s Test Kitchen cookbooks #mtcookbook

Unsurprising, because America‘s Test Kitchen is great, this is a terrific book. The photos, layout, and ideas are fantastic.

This was the Faux Leftover Fried Rice - the Thai version.
