If you know me at all, you know Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. This year, since Halloween was on a Sunday, I managed to find a way a way to have three different costumes, yet completely forget to eat. One of the ingenuities of a crock pot is that it’s really easy to throw whatever you [...]

Alright ladies and gents, it’s time to get real. My absolute favorite holiday is coming up and it’s important that I spend as little on food as possible to have more money to spend on a Halloween costume. Now, as I make the terribly hard decision between being Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana this year, I came [...]

This dish is magic. I’ve read a lot about cooking chicken in tin foil and throwing in a bunch of vegetables, but I couldn’t really find a recipe that I actually wanted to follow. Therefore, I resulted to the lazy way out and just chopped up what I had in my fridge–and magic. Incredibly healthy [...]
