Today is the first day of Spring but it’s cold and yesterday our area was host to 16.1 inches of snow so I’m in the mood for warming, comfort food; I decided on shepherd’s pie. In my desire to keep foods healthy I made it with organic ground turkey breast. You can make it with any […]

My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed them too and stayed full for the rest of the night, so I dub them as guy friendly! I also made coleslaw with plain Greek yogurt with some simple favorite spices […]
I love going into my garden and coming out with more than what I initially went in for (in this case serrano chile peppers)-what a bargain!
