Cowboy Butter Chicken With Zucchini Noodles
I've been thinking about butter this morning. I don't know why, but an old meme popped into my head randomly a few hours ago.

Since Rob & I have cut down on the red meat in our diet, I've had to adapt in the kitchen. That doesn't mean we don't still have the occasional juicy steak (I am from Texas), but we try to limit it to only a few times a month. As a Texan, cutting out red meat… Continue reading Herb & Garlic Pork Roast with Honey Mustard Sauce
