Hello ! Helllooooo, my friends! This past week has been full of indulgences. If I'm gonna stay at home, forgo my favorite restaurants, miss cancelled hockey games, and give up walks on the Las Vegas strip....then I deserve to spoil myself (you do, too!) Tres leches...

Hello , I just want to tell you that I appreciate you. Really, I do. There's a lot going on in the news. So much chaos. I sympathize, I empathize. I feel the same pitter-patter of anxiety as you might experience. But, since day one of Steamy Kitchen, I've wanted to...
Hello ! Happy Thursday! I've been so nervous all morning. Because today is the day that www.ilovemy.us website goes live, where we are selling Made in USA face masks. Not just made in USA, but manufactured in the beautiful state of Nevada, with American cotton made in...
Hello my friends! How are you? 1. oooooooohhhh...I'm so excited!!! Last week I mentioned that I commissioned a local professional tailor to produce 3,000 face masks. THREE THOUSAND. Why? I got tired of seeing ads for sub-par face masks that were made...

Happy Tuesday! Okay, I think we've flattened the website glitch curve and we're on the other side of having a site that runs smoothly. Thank you again for all your patience and help troubleshooting. *virtual hug to you!* 1. Are you picky about your...
Hello my friend!So, I owe you all an apology. 1. If you've been on the sitethe past 2 weeks, it's been a bit glitchy. We had to change to a new website server host - I was with my old host for 12 years and the past couple of years, their level of service has...
Whew. Yesterday was a doozy. Steamy Kitchen website was up 'n down for most of the day! After 8 hours, we finally figured out what went wrong and got it fixed. I say "we" - but I really mean my wonder woman web developer, DeAnna, and the super-smart engineers at my...
Hello friend! Happy Tuesday to you! Yesterday, I got a notification that a package had arrived for me for Steamy Kitchen. "Huh?! I don't remember ordering anything!" I waited two days before venturing out to the mailbox, combining it with a trip to the market, but all...
I just want you to know that I'm thinking of all of you....and sending you healing, healthy thoughts. In Las Vegas, the city of lights, life is slowing down. MGM and Wynn casinos have just announced they will shut down completely (have you ever heard of a casino...
Hello my friends! I hope you're staying healthy and safe. We legit ran out of toilet paper a few days ago - and I have never, ever panicked about something so silly as TP, but on Monday - I was a tiger-mama on the hunt for stuff to wipe butts with. Two Costcos,...
Happy Wednesday! I found it! I thought I had lost my smoking gun during the move. But it was tucked waaaay in the back corner behind the blender that I never use. The smoking gun is THE MOST fun kitchen gadget ever. This little thing can infuse smoke into any...
One of the very first recipes my Mom taught me how to cook was a shrimp stirfry with garlic, green onion and ginger. Mom cooks without measuring - just a spoonful of this, a glug of that, and a three-finger pinch of another. At first, I knocked her entire cooking...
