Miss Crock Pot. A close friend these days.
I married a meat and potatoes guy. I am blessed, though, because he eats anything I make him -- even during my vegan stage he was onboard with whatever I cooked. But deep down lurking beneath the surface he does love meat. That doesn’t mean he still doesn’t enjoy a meat-less meal or that we don’t make meat-less meals as a regular part of our life. Because we do. Right now, eating meat every once Read the full post >>>
Daikon what? Daikon radish.
Ever hear of a daikon radish? I heard about it a few months ago when I read Alicia Silverstone's book The Kind Diet. There are many types of radishes and all have unique, amazing health benefits.

Homemade Burrito Bowl? Yes Please!
I am obsessed with Mexican food, especially Chipotle. When I was pregnant with Madilyn, I had crazy cravings for burrito bowls. A burrito bowl is just what it sounds like; all of the contents of a burrito piled on top of each other in a bowl rather than wrapped up in a tortilla. My love for Mexican food is still going strong and I think I have passed it along to my daughter. She was loving Read the full post >>>
Just Throw It All In a Pot!
Hello! As information becomes easier and easier to access with the internet, so do recipes. I am always looking for new and fun recipes to share with you and I am a big fan of having a plan for weekly meals. However, sometimes cooking with feeling instead of recipes is where it's at.
