Did you know that you can “bake” potatoes in a crock pot? I love this cooking trick, especially in the summer when heating my oven for hours is not the best option. I cooked some sweet potatoes in our crock pot last week, mainly for these enchiladas. I also made enough to have leftovers for […]

In my most recent CSA box I received several of the ingredients to this salad: kale, apples, and edible mustard green flowers. I was tasked with bringing vegetable […]
