It is a gloomy, gloomy day. There has been a risk of 42-57% risk of thunderstorms all day. Yet, no rain has appeared. It has just gloomier and greyer throughout the day. There is currently a car parked outside, very optimistically with its sun roof […]
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 […]
