The Unemployment Cookbook: Slow Cooker Pork & ‘Kraut

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

Y’all remember last month when New Inklings Press introduced their February #MediaMenagerie Member? [Phew, I double-dog dare ya to say that five times fast on a late Sunday evening.] Bridges the Raccoon was brought on board to help writers find a way to get from here to there . . . Whatever “here” and “there” is.

Well, this weekend, it was in the kitchen. And after a crazy usual month of go-here-see-there-stop-now-breathe-okay-get-going-again activity, I just needed a bit of a break. So I opened the fridge and pantry, and asked Bridges what he … read the rest. . .

The Unemployment Cookbook: Hot Dog Casserole

Looks deelicious, doesn’t it? That thar’ cover is an honest photo, taken in the test kitchens for New Inklings Press. Okay, not really. It was taken by my brother, but he is a professional photographer, and he did format the cookbook for me way back when. So, kudos to realycreative.com for some amazing work, yah?

But it’s not. Trust me.

A few blog posts ago [translate: years], I shared my recipes for infused olive oil and polenta. But I never shared the awesome sauce that goes with it.

Y’all ready for this?

Now, this is a post for pasta sauce, but let’s recap the food it covers.

Social Media Saturday: Your Message Recipe

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

So a while ago I told y’all what memes are. Then I shared the power of three. That was fun. The power of three was a fun post to share. [See what I did there?]

Today I want to combine the above with one more: Your Message.

Let’s say you’re in the kitchen and don’t know what to cook. You have chicken in the fridge, but you’re not sure how to use it. Whatcha gonna do? Call Ghostbusters? [Sorrynotsorry. Had to throw a little October in here somehow.]
