A pair of silver rain boots stuck out to me in the drought of California, nostalgia laced into sheepskin innersoles that would have kept me warm in the Portland weather I had left behind in college. I was seated with my dad and brother across from an intimidatingly large wall of New Balances–the men in my...

This year I’m taking the hubs back home to the Hoosier state (Indiana). The difference this year is we will be going in the winter.

Since I have lived in California, I have been able to expand my cookbook quite a bit. I have learned how to cook different meals with fresh produce and healthier ingredients. But today, today we going to make one of my quickie Hoosier Heart Clogging meals. This is my Baked Tuna Mac recipe that I turn to after...
