Slow-Cooker BBQ Pork

I love my crockpot! It’s so nice to dump all the ingredients in one big pot and let time do the cooking all day. I’ll use it any time I get the chance! Another thing I love is pulled pork. I’ve shared my Hawaiian Pork recipe before, so today I’ll share how to make a Read More …

Rosemary Chicken

Pizza Sauce

I’ve been making homemade pizza a lot lately. I thought it would be fun to make my own crust, but that meant I also needed my own toppings as well. We had a few jars and frozen packets of sauce, but I thought most of those were too sweet. Then I remembered this recipe, which Read More …

Chicken, Black Bean, and Fennel Soup

I invented a soup! Hubby’s parents bought into their community garden this summer, so we’ve been reaping the benefits of their growth (which is great since I’ve been neglecting my garden and it’s been responding in kind.) Funnily, they planted all sorts of vegetables that they’d never eaten before, and they’ve been sharing these new Read More …

Cherry Tomato Salad

Last summer, I had a “Sweet 100” tomato plant that provided us with so many buckets of cherry tomatoes that we couldn’t even eat them all before the fruit flies ate them too and made them rot. Suffice it to say, we had this salad a lot last year! This year, I didn’t purchase tomato Read More …
