    Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

    Comfort food people!  This is comfort food!!  It’s like being in your jammies, in front of the roaring fire, with your bunny slippers on, wrapped in a Snuggie, and reading a good book and sipping hot chocolate, but for your tummy!  This dish came about when I opened up one of my cupboards and realized that my potatoes were growing eyes and I knew I had to use them before I would lose them to the trash.  Because I only buy organic produce, that wasn’t an option.  These potatoes were a little spendier than conventional taters, so I had to come up with something fast.

    Easy Cheesy Twice-baked Potatoes

    One Pot Hearty Beef Stew (Organic/GMO-Free)

    I don’t know about you, but nothing warms me up like a bowl of beef stew.  Rich gravy-like sauce, tender veggies, chunks of beef that melt in your mouth.  It’s soul food if ever there was.  This stew is comforting, hearty and it’ll warm you up.  It’s like getting a hug from the inside out.  Eating this stew even makes me happy.  How’s that for emotional eating?
