Chili is one of my favorite dishes. I love that it is filling and that it’s easy to make. It is also the perfect dish to make with all the venison in our freezer. Now that I’m breaking out the sweaters and the long sleeve running shirts, a warm bowl of chili is perfect way […]
Eating fruits and vegetables in season is a smart way to take care of your body and your budget. Acorn squash is one of my all time favorites when it comes to the fall and winter seasons. Besides tasting good and being easy to prepare it is high in dietary fiber and packed full of […]
