This is my kitchen

I really wanted a more clever name for this blog than "Caldora Kitchen," but unfortunately, naming things is not a strength of mine.  This blog came out because I wanted to expand my cooking repertoire.  Also, I have a crap ton of cookbooks that I feel guilty for not using.  So, I decided to challenge myself to do one new recipe a week in 2020.  Since some of my friends are doing the same sort of thing, I figured I'd start a blog and keep track of the recipes I've tried, how they went, and hopefully get some feedback or suggestions.

My kitchen is pretty simple.  I have a Keurig, toaster, KitchenAid stand mixer, stove, refrigerator, and a slow cooker.  Any recipes I use will use these things.  No Instant Pot for me.  My tiny kitchen does not have room for really anything else on the counter.  It's small enough that I've accidentally turned on the dishwasher with my butt while getting things out of my oven.

Who butt-dials their dishwasher?  Me.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of food blogs that give half the author's life story on every post.  My posts will mostly be about the recipes themselves.  What I did, what I screwed up, and tips so you can avoid making my mistakes.

So, yeah.  Welcome to my kitchen.

I made this on a day where I wanted something comforting, easy, and delicious.  I also needed something that used what I had in the cabinets, and since we'd just gotten back in from visiting family for New Year's, pickings were slim.  All I really had in the fridge was some ground turkey. Normally when I use ground turkey, I make a baked pasta with it.  We'd just had Italian food the day before I made this, so I was not craving pasta.  The hubster is not a fan of anything remotely healthy, but if you drown it (vegetables or turkey or anything) in cheese, he's a happy camper.  I honestly suspect that's why he likes the baked pasta so much.  He was really not sure about the whole concept of a shepherd's pie, especially one with ground turkey.  I promised him that if he tried it and hated it, I would buy a pizza. Well, not only did I not have to buy a pizza, the man went back for seconds.  I think this is a win.  Thanks for the suggestion, Pinterest! I used t
