This year I’m on a mission to grow 4,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables in my suburban backyard. In 2012 I was able to grow 2,028 pounds, and in 2013 I’m going double or nothing.

Apparently everyone and their brother bought fruits and vegetables for Super Bowl party platters over the weekend because there were only 2 boxes of “chicken scraps” this week. However, I was pretty hopeful when I saw the 2 reclaimed produce boxes. Once I started going though the fruits and vegetables though, I noticed the lettuce was all Read More >>

Chicken pot pies are on the dinner menu tonight. If you’ve never made a homemade chicken pot pie from scratch before, not only are they super easy to make, but they taste 10 million and 1 times better than those frozen ones you can find in the frozen food section of local grocery store.
