Cooking

What I’m usually cooking

My cooking tends to circle around a few themes:

  • Easy prep, high-protein meals
    Food that’s filling, practical, and realistic for busy weeks.

  • Smoking and slow cooking
    Projects I enjoy taking my time with — meats, sides, and the routines that come with them.

  • Sourdough breads and discard recipes
    Simple loaves, experiments, and ways to use discard without overthinking it.

  • Cooking tools I rely on
    Equipment that’s earned a permanent place in my kitchen because it actually gets used.

Recipes range from very simple to slightly more involved, depending on the season and what I’m focused on.

How to use this section

If you’re looking for something quick, start with the simpler recipes and weeknight meals. If you enjoy digging into a process, you’ll also find longer posts that explore techniques, tools, and what I’ve learned along the way.

What's on the menu...

Cooking, for me, comes in waves of obsession.

I tend to focus deeply on a few things at a time — learning them well, simplifying them, and finding ways to make them work in everyday life. This section of the site is shaped by that approach. It’s less about novelty and more about the recipes and tools I actually come back to.

You’ll find a mix of easy, repeatable meals and deeper dives into things I enjoy spending time on when energy allows. Everything here is meant to support real life, not compete with it.
