Trying Something New: Carrot Jicama Slaw

I know, I know.  Thanksgiving is not typically a time to try something new.  Everyone has their traditions and everyone has their favorite dish that MUST be on the table.  My family is the same way but that doesn’t mean we aren’t slightly adventurous.  Carrot Jicama Slaw | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Last Minute Labor Day Recipes

Adam and I are currently on our way back home from a wedding in Michigan.  It was a beautiful wedding and interesting to see two cultures (Indian and American) come together.  I’ve never been to an Indian wedding so I really liked seeing their traditions and how they celebrate.  Plus, the weather was great and the farm scenery was awesome.
