Whenever I am thinking of meal ideas I try to make sure they are high in protein. One way to add a little extra protein to any meal is to incorporate beans! Beans are packed full of protein and they are also one of the main ingredients in my chili! S&W Beans have a wide selection of beans that are high in fiber and protein, making them the perfect addition to a healthy diet. When I showed Peyton all the different variety of S&W Beans she was pretty excited! Peyton loves S&W Beans. ...

And the food is always tasty! But many recipes for the slow cooker are for bigger dinners. However, I found an amazing beef stroganoff recipe for two! So I tried it out. It was a very ...
Quick and Simple Hobo Meals
What is a Hobo meal? Well, it's a variety of veggies, hamburger, spices and butter wrapped up in tinfoil and either baked or grilled. Hobo meals are quick and simple to make. These are even great for camping! Hobo's are actually one of my favorite dishes to make because each packet can be customized. For example, if someone has a dietary restriction you can customize their packet to fit the requirements. In our house we like a pretty simple Hobo packet. We typically stick with baby red ...
Quick Back to School Dinners
Kids everywhere are heading back to school! Parent's are rejoicing and crying at the same time. My darling daughter, Peyton, started kindergarten last week.

That's a big ...
