Vegetarian Polenta Casserole (Freezer Meal Recipe)
I’m in a local moms group and one of our newest activities is a freezer meal swap. Last week, we had our first swap and it has been awesome to have ready-made homemade dinners waiting in my freezer. I loved that I was able to spend an hour cooking one meal, but ended up with four…

Cashew Chili (and Baked Sweet Potatoes)

Chris’ Disappearing Migas
Related Post: Report Card (16 Jan. 2011)A Chris Original!See more recipes here I love eggs, but until I met Chris, I had never had migas; it is now a staple in our house — breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s super easy, Tex-Mex comfort. In its simplest form, it is a scramble of eggs, onions, chips,…
