Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
My week of "stuffed" meals continues today. I swear, this was completely inadvertent. I didn't intentionally plan to make a week of stuffed foods, it just happened. All the recipes I researched and thought of before I went grocery shopping last week just happened to be a stuffed version of something or other. But hey,… Continue reading Taco & Pepper Jack Stuffed Bell Peppers
Do you ever root around in your freezer and find things you had completely forgotten about? My freezer is a relative treasure chest full of hidden items.

I've even been known to dive head first into a few… Continue reading Pineapple & Pulled Pork Tacos
My pursuit of a good pasta substitute continues today. I've tried just about everything: zoodles, spaghetti squash---but this is the first time I've tried pasta made out of something other than sticky, glutenous carbs.
