I found this recipe in my Everyday Food magazine and I’ll never use another recipe again. It is completely easy and we love the gravy that is included. We usually have this alongside mashed potatoes, green beans and homemade rolls. Slow-Cooker Pot RoastRecipe Courtesy of Everyday Food Magazine Serves 8 1 tablespoon cornstarch 8 medium…

Friday Night Supper
I hosted a few ladies from church this past Friday night for a womens ministry event. Instead of opting for having all of us meet at a restaurant, they met at my house for dinner. I made pork roast and potatoes and the other ladies brought the side dishes and dessert. This is the easiest…

I had an overabundance of apples in my organic box this past week so I decided to make this recipe. It’s easier than a pie (in my opinion) since you don’t have to mess with a crust and you can easily substitute other fruit depending on the season. (We love peach and raspberry crisps in…

Comfort Food
The first time I saw this recipe I gulped. Hard. There is something very comforting about macaroni and cheese. I’m a big fan of adapting recipes to make them low fat but there are some recipes that just should not be altered, like this one. The only modification I made to this recipe is that…
A Cool Evening in August
The weather has turned a bit cool the last couple of days. A sad reminder that the dog summer days are dwindling and fall will soon be here if not already. We enjoyed this soup last night along with hot corn bread muffins served with butter and honey. Beef and Vegetable Soup 2 tablespoons olive…
