With the warmer weather I'm trying to keep the air conditioning off and as soon as I use the stove to cook dinner...BAM the temperature goes up! One of the ways I combat this is by using my slow cooker. Who doesn't love a slow cooker? It just makes life easier...setting it up before hand and letting it do the work while the house stays cooler is just plain smart. One of our family favs is Slow Cooker Cheesy Tacos recipe. This is a great one for the weeknights when I'm racing to get the kids ...

BBQ Maple Chicken and Caramelized Onions
Recently I've been taking a look at my recipes here and realized that I've been sadly remiss in the area of main dishes.

The recipe for pasta I’m showing here is adapted slightly from the recipe which ...
No-Fail Roasted Cauliflower Recipe with Garlic and BACON Recipe
So Brad and I have given up processed foods, breads and added sugars...yes friends we've been a bit grumpy with the change. Anyone who tells you that it's simple to DRASTICALLY change your eating style is full of poop and I want to throat punch them. Now that I've shown you a bit of my less than happy side, I will tell you that the change has left us feeling way less bloated and dropping unwanted weight. We've been cooking up simple meals, meat and veggies but over time our staples are getting ...
