Sweet Potato Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

August 28, 2018

I will never forget the feeling of digging up our first crop of sweet potatoes at our first home when we were finally able to have a good size garden. I had ordered 100 slips (baby sweet potato plants) to plant that year, but didn’t really know what I was doing and didn’t have high …

20-Minute Beef & Zucchini Stir-Fry Your Kids Will Love

August 24, 2016

As a kid, I remember eating things like Hamburger Helper (or Tuna Helper *cringe*) on the regular.

Garlic Herb Pot Roast Recipe (Instant Pot)

January 27, 2016

I’ve recently been experimenting with my new favorite kitchen appliance: the Instant Pot. What is it? An electric, programable, pressure-cooker. Think pressure cooker meets slow cooker.

Homemade Cincinnati Chili Recipe

November 26, 2013

If you aren’t familiar with Cincinnati Chili, you should be! I must admit, this is an unusual chili.
