The kind that when you kneel on it, feels soft and squishy. Know what I'm talkin' about? Well, if you don't know what I'm talkin' about, or you've … [Read more...]
10 Spectacular Fall Soup Recipes
I did it. I went full crazy. I started making Fall soups when it was still 95 (face-melting) degrees outside. In my defense, I do live in Arizona, so 95 degrees is pretty much Fall to us. It's like your fall. But with sweat. And I don't know about you, but I'm ready for Fall. Semi-cold nights, semi-sweater wearin', pumpkin-everything, and … [Read more...]
Recipe: Whole-Wheat Soaked Biscuits
When I eat these biscuits, I die. Seriously, these biscuits rock my world. And, of course I mean 'die' in a good way.

Most people would look at these here biscuits and immediately think of FAT & CARBS. Next they would … [Read more...]

A Coyote, a Vulture, & some stressed out Chickens

Well, actually I just walked around a bit and stared at the mess of feathers in my yard. But, ya … [Read more...]
From Picky Eater to Food Feaster: How I got my stubborn kid to love ALL FOODS.
