I’m not a bandwagon kind of girl. Just because everyone loves freezer cooking doesn’t mean it’s for me – the one time I did the “once a month cooking” thing with a friend, we spent about 3 days planning and shopping, 8+ hours cooking, and had 12 meals out of it. I remember being very,

The goat cheese, salmon, and mushrooms are all optional. I just wasn’t sure how well a recipe for “Greens with Some Other Stuff” would go over. This recipe is really “how to use up what you have in your fridge” with greens. Our first CSA box ever included kale (use it all the time), swiss

They told me to bring it again. When my husband’s extended family gets together for holidays, everyone brings food and we eat until we can’t fit through the doorway.

I do a lot of complicated things in the kitchen sometimes. This, luckily for you, is NOT one of them. I’d been making homemade Chicken Rice-a-Roni for a while but still needed a substitute for boxed Mexican rice as a side with tacos. I came up with something so delicious and so easy, even kids can make
It’s a bean-y week at Kitchen Stewardship®! We lo-oove Mexican at the KS household. It’s the kind of place where we say, “Mild salsa? Never heard of it!” I usually have 5-10 jars of canned salsa on hand in the basement. One of my favorite meatless, bean-filled meals is this veggie bean burrito that I
