When Kris and I got married, cooking was kind of a chore. We didn’t really mind it, but it wasn’t particularly exciting. We had our favorite dishes, and we would say we should try making something new, but we rarely did. Then we moved from an apartment with a small […]

My Leafy Babies!
Back in May of last year, I had some disappointing jalapenos. First, we went to Topper’s Pizza (my favorite pizza place) and ordered a pizza with jalapenos on it. The jalapenos were disappointingly not hot. Then I made a plate of nachos at home and added jalapenos to my […]
