About a year ago I backed a project on Kickstarter for the Sansaire Sous Vide machine. It was a purchase of passion and took a little convincing to a certain rationally-thinking wife that it was going to be amazing. It arrived, I tried it out without much fanfare, and put it in the cabinet. Well I recently got re-excited about it and have had lots of success, so I thought I’d share what came out of our kitchen!

Caffeine: A Parent’s Best Friend
Whoa. My first blog post as a dad. It’s been tough. As Wes sleeps (or doesn’t), we sleep (or don’t). These past few weeks have been rough, so to combat the morning … and day … and night … exhaustion, we’ve dialed up the coffee intake quite a bit. And in the Texas summer, iced coffee is really the only option.
Waffle Brownies
Some nights after dinner you find yourself with a craving for something more than what the four pints of ice cream in your freezer can offer. In a moment of sheer brilliance Evelyn simultaneously thought of, searched for, and found a recipe for brownies made in a waffle iron. So we got to work!
Magic Chocolate Flan Cake!
While waiting in line at the grocery checkout we chanced upon a copy of “The Best of America’s Test Kitchen” issue full of ATK’s best recipes. Once home and flipping through the pages, one of the last pages caught my eye: Magic Chocolate Flan Cake. In true ATK fashion, there was a lot of trial and error and ultimately an explanation of how it works. But I didn’t read any of it. I just wanted to start making something called Magic Chocolate Flan Cake!
English Muffins… IN TEXAS
Move over, England. You’ve owned this muffin long enough! This is America Texas. And on Texas Independence Day (March 2nd, of course!) I decided your reign over the English Muffin has come to an end. You can come and take it.
