I just made an amazing lasagna!
I’m snowed-in tonight - and we’re still getting snow - and today was my first shopping trip in three weeks, or it was supposed to be, so I had to get a little creative in the cooking department considering my fridge and pantry are low. I put a little bit of [...]

I was on the phone with a friend tonight, multitasking as normal, searching through my fridge to see what to have for supper when I came across organic veggies from last week’s grocery trip…I realized that I had nothing to dip them into, and generally I eat my veggies plain but today felt like a [...]
