🏔️ I’ll Die on This Hill…

If we’re riding together and stop for gas, I think he should be the one pumping it.

Not because I can’t do it…

It’s one of those little gestures that says, “I’ve got this.” ❤️

🍳 Today’s Challenge: Omurice

You know that feeling when you watch a cooking video and think…

“That doesn’t look too hard.”

Yeah… me too. 😂

I set out to make the famous Japanese omurice—the one with the silky omelet that slices open into perfection.

Let’s just say… my confidence and my cooking skills weren’t exactly on the same page.

Did I nail it?

…Well, you’ll have to watch until the end. 🤣

👇 Tell me in the comments:
Have you ever attempted a recipe that looked easy… but absolutely humbled you?

🏔️ I’ll Die on This Hill…

Apparently there’s a whole group of people who think cilantro tastes like soap.

I have one question…

🌿 Are we even eating the same plant? 😂

Because to me it’s fresh, bright, and belongs on everything from tacos to salsa.

👇 Agree or disagree?

If cilantro tastes like soap to you, I need to hear your case.

If you’re on Team Cilantro… welcome to the right side of the hill. 😏🌿

🚨 Saturday Shenanigans 🚨

🎯 Would You Rather

You only get ONE choice…

🥛 A shot of expired milk with just enough mold to make you question your life…

OR

🐟 A full glass of tuna juice with a few floating surprises.

There are no third options.
There is no “I’d rather die.”
You must choose.

👇 Which one are you drinking?

🏔️ I’ll Die on This Hill Tuesday

Some days you’ve worked all day, you’re exhausted, and the last thing you want to do is cook.

On those days…

🥣 A bowl of cereal absolutely counts as dinner.

No guilt. No shame. Just pour the milk and call it a night. 😂

👇 Team Cereal for Dinner or Team Cook a Real Meal?

See you next Tuesday for another hill worth defending. 🏔️

I never expected pig feet to become one of my favorite canning experiments…

After trying fresh-made pig feet in salsa roja from a local Mexican grocery store, I couldn’t stop wondering:

Could I recreate it at home… and pressure can it?

So I packed raw pig feet into jars, covered them with homemade salsa roja, and pressure canned them for 90 minutes.

The verdict?

Jose took the first bite and said it tasted almost like his mom’s. ❤️ I’d call that a success.

This definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea—but that’s what I love about cooking. Sometimes the best recipes are the ones you never expected to make.

Would you try these? Or are pig feet a hard pass? 👇
