Crispy Veggie Peel Curls

The other day my husband was reading me an article about how many nutrients are in the skins of root vegetables. I often peel my root veggies but I hate the thought of missing out on some nutrients, lightbulb moment…what about if I roast the skins and Continue reading

Simple Shallot Gravy

Butternut Squash Soup

This delicious dairy free soup is naturally sweet and creamy. It is super easy to make and freezes well.

I am having fun playing around with lots of different versions Continue reading

Raised Bed Garden
