Slow cooker black beans are incredibly simple to make. We sometimes like to think that beans just come out of cans. But they’re far easier to make at home than most people realize! You really just throw a bunch of produce and beans into a […]
I made Brown Rice w/ Ambercup Squash & Red Chilis the other day. It was one of those recipes that was absolutely delicious and a game changer for my seasonal rice recipes! I tend to do this. I tend to make different types of rice, […]
I didn’t start out intending to make enchilada sauce with Thai chilis. I planted a bunch of different peppers this spring, but we’ve had a particularly odd summer season! It snowed in April and we had frost well into May. Summer didn’t really seem to […]
Slow cooker black beans are one of my favorite fall dishes to make, just as fresh produce is starting to ripen. Today, I have a ten pound Calabaza Squash that I just roasted up and can’t wait to cook into black beans! Calabaza squash has […]

I was perusing the grocery store this morning. Not my local grocery store, but my favorite out of the way grocery store with the best unusual produce. Now, daikon isn’t the most out there of ingredients! But I do live in rural Wisconsin and my […]
