Sushi at Home
Homemade maki rolls are a fun family “project” meal. The kids like being allowed to play with their food and get a little messy smashing the rice around.

Bone Broth (Instant Pot recipe)
Homemade bone broth makes me feel like a superhero. Or like the Pioneer Woman. Or a grandma that makes the best food. But I guess those are both superheroes too. Its a super simple way to use bits that typically go in the trash to create a culinary staple that fortifies other recipes with amazing…
