Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Well, I did it. I entered my very first cooking contest.
In entering the recipe that I did I also took a big risk. Even though the rules of the contest didn’t stipulate that the recipe had to be something simple or easy to prepare, I felt no matter what it was necessary for [...]

Pretending like it’s the weekend

July 20, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve done a RMDM Kitchen post, mostly because with everything we’ve had going on I haven’t done anything interesting in the kitchen for the family that’s been worth posting.  However, lately I’ve had a few opportunities to make breakfast where the three of us have been able to actually eat [...]
