The new year is a good time for everyone to feel like there is a fresh start. I am happy to say I'm starting the year off with some big changes. My biggest goal this year is to eliminate stress from my life as much as possible. I am going to spend more time moseying around the house in cosey clothes relaxing with tea and playing with my son. I am going to putter around the kitchen and keep my family satiated with nutritious, delicious, cheap food.
Here's my newest recipe: smokey sweet potato stew. This week I had the sniffles and this spicey stew was good for my heart and soul (not to mention my sinuses)
