Here’s another fun recipe challenge I got to participate in this week for the Walmart Moms. We were asked to create a recipe using one of the Farm Rich frozen appetizers. Now I purchased both the Breaded Mozzarella Sticks and the Pizza Slices–they were both tasty baked in the oven with nothing added. But I… Keep Reading

Tutorial: How to Dehydrate Celery
There really isn’t much that is easier than dehydrating celery. Of course that is if you have a dehydrator–I’m sure sun drying celery in Upstate New York would be challenging 🙂 Start with your clean celery.

I’m not really sure if you’d call this a recipe or more of a technique. On Christmas morning I decided I needed to get a bit of protein in folks since we’d been noshing on chocolate, cinnamon buns, and coffee all morning.

Recipe: Crockpot Spinach Egg Strata
Eggs are a high quality, inexpensive protein source. I like to incorporate them into my meal plans on a fairly regular basis–but sometimes it is hard to find recipes that aren’t “breakfasty”. This Spinach Egg Strata (for the slow cooker) fits the bill. Although egg-y and cheese-y the bread makes it more reminiscent of a… Keep Reading
