Recipe Redux – Beef and Bean Taco Meat
March 21, 2015 by 1 Comment
This month’s Recipe Redux is Two For One. The idea being you cook once and eat twice. I do this all the time – finding ways to repurpose leftovers into another meal. My children are rather picky about eating leftovers so if I make extra of something, I have to find multiple ways of using […]

My trip to Washington State to take part in the grape harvest and tour a Welch’s juice processing plant was paid for by Welch’s. I was not compensated to write this post. All thoughts are my own. American Heart Month is coming to a close, though really we should be eating in a way to […]

This month’s Recipe Redux is our favorite chocolate pairings, since it is February after all. Of course I love chocolate and will eat it will just about anything.

Happy 2015! It is hard to believe the holidays are behind us and a bright new year is before us to make even better than last! On one hand, I’m always sad right now after taking down my Christmas decorations (the house just seems a little less cheerful) but on the other hand, I’m full […]
