Recipes

A few weeks ago, a friend posted on Facebook that she was putting together a group of ladies to do a meal prep class at a local grocery store. I’ve been wanting to try one out for a while, so I jumped at the chance—anything to make week-nites a little bit easier is amazing in my books.

First things, first…my intention in sharing recipes here is not that I want to be a food blogger. I just really love food…and when I find something delicious, I want to share it with the world. Not that the world reads my blog, but someday, right? I also think that food, cooking, and the act of eati
