Hello? There’s butter, garlic, steaks, and scallops! Some things are better than chocolate, flowers, and jewelry. Flowers, chocolate, and jewelry won’t harm you, but they will make your loved ones feel special. This surf and turf dinner will be the highlight of your evening. You may even get a marriage proposal from this. Just saying. [

I wish I were joking. In LA, today it was 69° F. How will Butters & I survive the Windy City? Butters and I have a lot of parkas, electric blankets, and other winter gear. Guys, I’m not sure. We Californians are in for a rocky winter. What I know for sure is that you […]

You may be familiar with “Cream of Chicken Soup” if you have ever visited Casserole Town. It is the condensed soup that comes in cans and is used in all kinds of comforting dishes, including soups, casseroles, and hot meals. We have no problems using canned condensed broth occasionally! It’s simple, nostalgic, and absolutely delic

This soup is rich, savory, and oh-so-satisfying with herby Italian sausage, kale for days, and soft buttery little cannellini. Everything gets thickened up a little, giving it kind of a stewier feel. We added a little smoky paprika and a squeeze of lemon juice at the end, and we have not one single regret about […]
