What’s up with all the free lettuce lately? To bad you can’t freeze the stuff, or I’d have a years supply of iceberg by now.

Since school started over a month ago, I’m been using my crock pot about twice a week now for dinner time meals. And why wouldn’t I? The weather is getting colder, everyone is coming home at different times, and it’s so stinkin’ easy to take 5 minutes out of my day to toss a Read More >>
