Groceries are getting expensive these days. The humble potato can help with that. Potatoes are incredibly versatile and inexpensive. They don’t just add bulk and yumminess to your meals either… they are sources of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin c and potassium. One of my absolutely favorite and no fuss ways to prepare them… Continue reading Easy Roasted Potatoes
Oatmeal. When I was little the only Oatmeal I add was Maple Brown Sugar instant. It was my favorite. As an adult I have moved away from the instant variety and now prefer a nice creamy oatmeal.
