Citrus-Glazed Sweet Potatoes


Arguably a side of sweet potatoes is one of the best ways to add a pop of color and flavor into a meal, regardless of the season.

So why not share it with you guys?

(Vegan) Crock-Pot Curried Red Lentils


There are (almost) countless recipes for lentils on this blog: made in the Crock-Pot, on the stovetop, with green lentils, red lentils, spicy, less spicy, creamy, etc. You name it.
