When I first met Matt I wasn’t much of a pepper person. But with the copious amounts that he puts on his food, I was bound to be a fan. So a nice pepper crusted steak sounded like a good meal on these cold winter nights. Steak au poivre, pepper steak in french, is usually … Continue reading
Did you have a meal that your mom would make that your eyes would just widen in horror? That you’d groan and drag your body to the dinner table? That was meatloaf for me.

What? Another scone? Well it’s a scone extravaganza! I made a sweet scone. I had to follow up with a savory one. This blog isn’t called Something Savory for no reason. I love savory foods. I don’t know why but I crave salty things rather than sweet things. So as good as a blueberry and … Continue reading
You have Matt to thank for the chocolate chips in this recipe. Yes, this was going to be just blueberry scones, but Matt wanted to add chocolate chips, and there we have it, our recipe. That is, it was supposed to have a lemon glaze, but I forgot to factor in the glaze when I … Continue reading
