When I said we’d be talking tarts this week, I’m pretty sure you didn’t think I’d make an onion tart. What do you expect from the daughter of a former onion farmer?

Bone Broth: Not as hard to make or as weird as it sounds

Hang around real foodies or people who know a lot about nutrition, and soon you’ll hear talk of something called “bone broth.” Sounds weird and kind of time consuming, yes? Luckily it’s neither.

pasta

The minute I saw this recipe for Swedish pot roast at ifoodTV, I knew it would be good. Bonus: It had a pressure cooker option. Now, if you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can use a slow cooker. Read on to get the recipe and also to hear about how I burned it–learn from my mistakes!

Vegetarian Chili (a.k.a. bean & butternut squash stew)

My husband claims that since this has no meat in it, I cannot call it chili. Moreover, “chili” with beans is not chili, either. I’m not sure who makes up the rules, but this is called Vegetarian Chili in Simply in Season. Pin It
