I’ve been excited about black beans lately. They’re quick and easy to toss together (15 minutes to throw into a crock pot and then 8 hours to slow cook). No need to soak them overnight or fuss with simmering them on the stove (unless you […]
Fall is in full swing. And you know what that means? It’s pepper season. I might be considered a pepper aficionado at this point. I eat an enormous amount of peppers. But I also like to grow my own peppers. And don’t get me wrong, […]
Oftentimes I go grocery shopping without quite knowing what I’m getting. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this because it usually leads to additional grocery shopping for produce that you didn’t know that you didn’t have yet. But I do quite enjoy wandering into the fruits and […]

There is nothing that I like more than tossing all of my leftovers into a nice big helping of nachos! Lately I’ve been experimenting with exactly how many things that I can put bananas in. This might sound a bit odd, but bear with me! […]
