Seasoned Cooking

Sometimes, we all need a bit of comfort food. For me, that sometimes comes in the form of Tom Kha Gai, a complex Thai coconut chicken soup that is quite easy to make. And if you happen to prefer shrimp or tofu instead, there are instructions for that too.

Sometimes what the weekend needs is a delightful French toast casserole in individual baked servings. Perfect for using up that last bit of bread and leaving most of breakfast making to the oven!

A quick soup that tastes like it's taken all day to make. Perfect for cold days and packed with everything we crave as Old Man Winter hands us cold days and even colder nights.

Light, tender buns that can be warm on the table in a couple of hours are perfect for a brunch buffet. Start the simple dough when you get up and then most of the rest of it is letting the dough rise a couple times and baking them. It's a great way to warm the kitchen and have your home smelling like freshly baked bread.
