We've been making a conscious effort to eat more vegetarian meals throughout the week. In comparison to many families, we don't eat a lot of meat. But, I think we can do better. My goal is to cut back to having fish/poultry 1-2 times a week and meat no ...
The best thing about slow cooker recipes is that I usually have leftovers. When I take the time to prepare a meal in my slow cooker, I always make sure to make a large batch so that I can use it later in the week or pop it into the ...

Each time I make quesadillas, I am reminded of one of my favorite movies.. Napoleon: "Well what's there to eat?" Grandma: "Knock it off, Napoleon, make yourself a dang quesadilla!" Napoleon: "Fine!" I have probably seen that movie 50 times, but I still laugh every time I watch it. And, I ...
In honor of Earth Day, I thought it was only appropriate that I pick my favorite Earth Day themed posts from the past week. I think it's great that everyone gets into the spirit of Earth Day and tries to conserve energy and resources... I just always wonder if ...
