I have been on a Mexican food kick. I tend to do this in the late summer and early fall when all of the peppers and tomatoes start to ripen. But I woke up yesterday morning with the energy to make Slow Cooker Black Beans and […]
I’m plum out of avocado dip. It’s one of my favorite things to make lately. Any brief scroll through my posts over the last couple of months and you’ll see it absolutely everywhere! I can’t get enough of it and constantly keep my pantry stocked […]
