The New Year is just around the corner… 2012 is just about here, and it seems everyone is in the mood to reflect back on 2011 while there is still time. I’ve deliberated quite a bit about whether or not I wanted to write a “Best of 2011″ blog post this week. You see a lot…
I hope you’ve enjoyed my series on the basics of baking homemade bread! Over the past few weeks, I’ve covered the necessary equipment, the basics of yeast, and tips on mixing up bread dough without a big mess. So, now it’s time to get baking! I had planned to share a new, basic bread recipe…
I use my slow cooker a lot throughout the year, but I think it probably gets used the most when January rolls around. Perhaps you can relate…
Though I do my best to stay organized and cook healthy meals throughout the year, I find that I am extra motivated in January. I get back to my weekly meal planning and plan out healthy meals for the week. One of the ways that I cope with busy weeks is to pull out my slow cooker. I love meals that can be prepped ahead of time (often the night before), allowing me an entire day free of worrying about preparing dinner. I also love that most of the meals that I prepare in my slow cooker yield enough food for at least two meals for my husband and I. It’s even better when I can repurpose the leftovers into a new dish with minimal effort!
Today’s Friday Favorites are a bit different for one very important reason… Today is the 4th annual World Nutella Day! You all know that I am a Nutella fan (and that I love participating in the Nutella Challenge). So, you know I couldn’t resist participating in World Nutella Day, which is hosted by Ms. Adventures…
