Magneto is hell-bent on learning how to do some of the most challenging dishes, as we push each other to become better cooks. This weekend, he went above and beyond with spaghetti carbonara, zucchini bruschetta boats, focaccia, and crème brûlée. I am the luckiest girl.
Magneto will tell you that I have a wicked sweet tooth, something I got from growing up with a grandmother who baked like a pro, and a dad who loved to indulge. Now that we’re older, my dad and I try to be a little more conscious of the amount of sugar (especially refined sugar) […]
