A smooth Red Lentil Soup with instructions for the crock pot or stove top method.

Spicy Hamburger Scrambler recipe using ground beef or game. Fast and delicious!

Something a little tasty, and a little special, to use up those turkey leftovers.

The ultimate "comfort food" soup. Slightly sweet with a smooth texture and plenty of flavour.

Try this fruity sweet-and-savoury twist on a holiday classic.

Baked Beans have got to be one of the most delicious, and easy, make-ahead dinners you can throw together (surpassed only by All-Day Beef Stew in my menu planner). You can use them as a main dish, and throw some foil-wrapped red potatoes in the oven about 1 1/2-2 hours before mealtime for an almost effortless meal. Or, they make a great side dish to beef, game or turkey sausage. Serve with some fresh or lacto-fermented vegetables (such as Ginger Carrots--sorry, haven't posted the recipe yet), and you've got a meal that busy moms dream about.

Did you know you can make your own beans? It's easy, it's fast, you can start 'em cooking in the morning before you leave for work, and you have a nice side (or main) dish ready when you get home. Then you can double the recipe, freeze the leftovers and throw them in everything from soups to chilies.

A vegetables-only beet soup that draws its inspiration from traditional borscht.

This was really, really yummy. Really.
