15 minute meals

So I was watching Food Network and saw one of the shows talking about 15 minute meals that are quick, easy, and fun for you and your family. I made these last night!! We enjoy pizza in this house but not as much since it’s costly, loaded with calories, and with all the grease just…

Spaghetti Squash

My vegetarian journey has been exciting. I’m constantly trying new foods and experimenting with different recipes and ideas. One of my coworkers came to the office with her lunch from home.
