Stove Pot Chicken: A Slow Cooker Recipe
This week, I cooked up a slow cooker wonder. A NO prep, 4 hour deliciousness that we shared after a cold and rainy election day.

But with Red eating in the mornings with us, we've been varying the menu to help train his tastebuds to be diverse. Oatmeal, … [Read more...]
Recipe: Roasted Asparagus
This recipe is a favorite in our house. I routinely give the same treatment to Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts (Hub's favorite)! I've had a few house guests (Carlita and Chris - we miss you!) take the recipe home with them. Makes a great side dish to grilled meats, roasts, and nearly anything else … [Read more...]
