It's nearly 70º as I write this, which seems like a silly time to be talking about hot chocolate. But if you're my children, there is no silly time to talk about hot chocolate. It's just always an option for a yummy treat. I can't say that I disagree...

Recipe: Cold Cubano Sandwich
For a long time, I avoided anything with cabbage in it. My mom used to make Polish Sausage Stew, and I would eat a peanut butter sandwich instead. I wouldn't touch coleslaw.

Why I Changed My Mind About The Instant Pot
For a long time, I resisted getting an Instant Pot. I had several reasons. I didn't want to spend the money. I didn't see the need for another kitchen appliance. I didn't want to learn something new.
