I put a spin on classic Texas beef chili by adding mushrooms and quinoa. Beef Mushroom Quinoa Chili (gasp), what?! Sit down if you need to, let that sink in. It may be a little unconventional but, darn, if it isn’t just as spicy, satisfying and downright delicious as old-school chili. I think if hard-pressed, even strict chili enthusiasts would have to agree. 
So why did I put mushrooms and quinoa in classic Texas-style beef chili, you ask? I’ll admit, first was out of practical necessity – I *thought* I had a little more ground beef in the freezer than I actually did. I figured adding mushrooms (which everyone knows pair well with beef) and quinoa (which has a similar texture of ground beef) would help me stretch the recipe — which it did indeed! But there are other benefits too! Read on to get the recipe and learn all the benefits of this beef chili with mushrooms and quinoa. Continue reading

Hey, what’s crockin’? I recently discovered how to make a pork roast AND pinto beans at the SAVE time, in the SAME slow cooker. Let me introduce you to Tomatillo Shredded Pork and Pinto Beans for the Slow Cooker— a low-maintenance, low-stress, low-mess way to make a juicy pork roast for shredding with pinto beans on the side. Use for tacos, a southwestern salad, sandwiches with beans on the side. Heck, use the leftovers and add some broth and a can of tomatoes to make pork ‘n’ bean soup.
As if slow cooker roast recipes (and the resulting myriad of leftover pork roast meals) aren’t game-changing enough, the simultaneous slow-cooking of beans without dirtying up another pot is enough to yell out the kitchen window to neighbors, “HEY, I am winning at this dinner game, suckers!” Oh, it gets even better – I’ve used a Paleo and Keto-friendly sauce pouch from Kevin’s Natural Foods to keep this a 4-ingredinet main dish and side – excluding water for cooking and any desired taco fixings or extras you mut have. Read on to get the easy slow cooker pork roast and pinto bean recipe.

If you’re like me, you are probably not a fan of the super sugary-tasting sweet potato casseroles that appear everywhere during the Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. 
To me, these orange root vegetables are already SWEET, no need for added sugar, marshmallows or other nonsense. Read on to get the recipe for Mashed Rosemary Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Onions – it’ savory (offset by natural light sweetness) and simply delicious. Continue reading
