Oh crockpot, my crockpot… I think I’ve finally figured you out. My crockpot has been a fairly consistent source of frustration in my life, with every chicken-less dish I’ve made in there turning out great and every chicken-full dish turning out dry, dry, dry, dry.

Soba Noodle Stir Fry
Are you guys well-versed in peanut butter alternatives? You know, almond butter and soy nut butter and cashew butter and the like?

Buffalo Chicken Potato Casserole
Longtime readers of this blog may remember that I have not always been great at packing leftovers to take for lunch. Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve really turned that ship around and now take my lunch four or five days per week. I think my hurdle was always portion control, but I finally … Continue reading
Veggie-Full Recipe Roundup: Broccoli and Carrots and Spinach, Oh My!
So don’t take this the wrong way or anything, but you look like you could use some more vegetables in your life. Kidding! I so don’t know your life. Maybe you’re eating veggies right now. The point is, I could use a little veggie-heavy reset these days, so I thought it might be fun to … Continue reading
