For an easy weeknight meal, I have go-to collection of slow cooker recipes that I rely on. While these are tried and true, this whole “new year, new me” feeling has me craving to be a little bit more daring with my menu in 2018. I love using my slow cooker to meal prep things […]
I love this time of year. The holiday season is such an important time for reflection and togetherness, but sometimes it seems finding moments of inner peace and stillness among the seemingly endless holiday to-do’s can seem impossible! With Christmas lists to check off, parties to attend, and endless holiday festivities, this is the season […]
With Christmas season right around the corner, cookie recipes have been on my mind lately.
