spicy

When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May...

When the weather is the way it is, staying in is the best option unless you are travelling via sled dog. When I stay in I love to try out new recipes. 

When I went to pick up my Fresh Market Bag @ CRC my mother pointed out a nice little batch of habaneros that were donated from the Greener Grocer. So, in my boredom (because school was cancelled), I decided to use the chiles in my chili.

*CAUTION* use gloves!

Meatless meals for meat lovers

Ok, so lets face it, not everyone eats the way that they should. For those who feel that they need a slab of meat to create a meal, warm them up to the idea of getting their protein without all of the saturated fats with a hearty stew! Besides the Ohio weather has been getting cooler its about time for the soups.

Now, I don't want to overwhelm you with a whole lot of recipes and info so I will part it to you in several posts so that you can read at your own leisure.

Ok, so on with the show...
