When I said we’d be talking tarts this week, I’m pretty sure you didn’t think I’d make an onion tart. What do you expect from the daughter of a former onion farmer?
Pin ItBone Broth: Not as hard to make or as weird as it sounds

Hang around real foodies or people who know a lot about nutrition, and soon you’ll hear talk of something called “bone broth.” Sounds weird and kind of time consuming, yes? Luckily it’s neither.

Success! Sort of. I made either really thick pasta or really good dumplings. Still, I couldn’t stop eating it. Not bad for my first time making homemade pasta without a pasta roller or cutter!

I’ve never had chicken fried steak before, although I’ve seen it in restaurants. I always wondered why it was called chicken fried if it was steak. When I received a couple of cube steaks in my meat box at the co-op, I decided to give it a try. Pin It
