Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
I was so excited to be chosen to come up with a recipe for Kitchen PLAY featuring Dreamfields Pasta with the theme “Entree for Two.” Because, as you know, I’m always cooking for two. During the week, DH and I are busy with a ton of activities so we are often looking for a quick [...]
I’ve been enjoying reading Katie from Kitchen Stewardship’s Everything Beans Book. When I saw this recipe for beef and bean stew, I knew that would be a perfect weekend recipe.
