With the leaves in full autumn colors and the temperatures starting to drop, it’s time to start thinking about the holidays! I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again – homemade chicken stock is really the best you can get. It’s a breeze to make, makes the house smell fantastic, and makes a LOT. […]
Things are cooling off!
So make your house warm and your belly full with foolproof lasagna! I recently had to cater the weekly pasta night for our exchange students football team, and lasagna is a hearty and delicious meal for hungry athletes! And, since lasagna is a bit of a pain to make, there is good news – this […]
Big Announcement
Hi loyal The Homemade Chef fans! Here is the big announcement – a day late, my apologies; we got our updated COVID and Flu shots on Saturday, and were a little under the weather yesterday. But, without delay, we’re excited to announce we’ve launched a new brand – The Tatted Plate! We heard you, and […]
Confessions from the Kitchen
Good morning, THC followers – and Happy Friday! While this is not the big announcement promised – it’s coming this weekend – it is big news, and I want to share it with you personally. As many of you may have noticed, our posts have fallen off the radar for the past couple years, and […]

We decided it was time to have a more tranquil life in Maine, where we got married. The process was long, complicated, and obviously expensive. That said, I finally got to design my […]
Pantry Bolognese
I love the Food Network. Okay let me rephrase, Matt loves the Food Network and I think it is fine. But we watch it all day on the weekend. And while they do have some good recipes and suggestions on there, sometimes it is important to remember that you do not need to grow your […]
Roasted Carrot and Ginger Soup
As the last of the leaves fall, and the temperature starts to drop, the thought of a big warm bowl of soup becomes increasingly appealing. To be totally honest, I ended up making this soup because I accidently bought a 5lbs bag of carrots instead of a 1 lbs bag, and frankly just had a […]
Something BIG is in the Works!
We’ve been silent for a while, but something BIG is in the works and we’re on our way back! Stay tuned!!!
Spicy Quick Bolognese
This recipe began with me wanting to make Arrabiata sauce with some pasta. However I have been trying to eat more protein and I decided to add ground beef. From there we created this new recipe that came out amazing. Bolognese typically take hours, but this can be whipped up in less then an hour. […]
