You can make this recipe in either a Dutch oven or the underrated appliance in every kitchen, the slow cooker. I love the addition of the balsamic vinegar since it adds a tangy flavor and helps to tenderize the meat. Recipe Courtesy of Everyday Food Serves 6 3 pounds beef chuck, trimmed of visible fat…

Buffalo Chicken Chili
I ran across this recipe when I was perusing a cookbook that I had borrowed from the library. (Cookbooks are my favorite books to borrow from the library!) The book was by Joy Bauer, a nutritionist frequently featured on my favorite morning program, The TODAY Show. This chili is not for the faint of heart….
Southern Supper
I don’t make fried chicken very often (I think the last time I made it was over two years ago!). Why? Well, it’s messy, not that healthy and did I mention messy? But sometimes you crave it alongside cheesy mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and green beans (yes, I made all those sides with it…I just…
Asbury Cafe
When I was in graduate school, I did a 3 month fieldwork assignment working with clients with mental illness at the Wyandot Center in Kansas City, Kansas. One of my favorite parts of working at Wyandot was Wednesday Nite Asbury Cafe. The Asbury Cafe was a collaborative effort between the Occupational Therapy Education Department at…
Fathers Day Menu
It took me a couple of days to prepare this meal since my 8 week old calls the shots around our house these days but I wanted to be sure to do something special for Fathers Day. I made tequila lime chicken, cilantro lime rice (think Chipotle), black bean and corn salsa with tortilla chips…
A Chili Summer Day

When living in Colorado, you have to be prepared for all sorts of weather, no matter what the season. Last week we had temperatures in the eighties and nineties and this weekend the temperatures dropped to…
Grilled Fish Tacos
This is my go-to meal at any Mexican restaurant. I do not like them heavily breaded and fried but rather grilled or lightly fried. This light meal reminds me of hot Texas summers and nothing washes it all down better than a cool margarita. Grilled Fish TacosRecipe Source: Barbeque Nation 2 teaspoons ground ancho chili…
Roasted Sweet Potato and Carrot Puree
I have been getting a lot of yams in my organic box lately and needed to find a creative way to fix them. This is a great variation on mashed sweet potatoes and is delightfully creamy. If you are looking for a unique side dish to accompany your meatloaf and roasts, this is it! Roasted…
Weekend Breakfast
This french toast recipe takes french toast over the top. The Challah bread is moist and the addition of the orange zest really makes a difference so do not leave it out! Serve this along with a side of your favorite breakfast meat and fruit. Challah French ToastRecipe Courtesy of Ina Garten 6 extra-large eggs…
