Earlier this week, I put Black Bean Soup on my weekly meal plan, but I couldn’t decide what version to make. I was considering this, this, this, or maybe this. In the end, I combined, borrowed and modified to come up with my own variation which turned out to be a big winner. Here’s...
One of the things I love about fall is the return of football. Specifically, watching my beloved, tho beleaguered, Washington Redskins.
