BLT Penne Pasta Toss

I came across a new food blog last week, Culinary in the Desert. There are quite a few recipes on there that I am going to have to try. Trying to think of what to make for dinner last night, I realized that we had everything that this recipe needed. Problem solved. And I always [...]

Beef Burgandy

This recipe comes from Michelle’s blog, Sugar & Spice. Last Weekend, I was looking for a new Crockpot recipe and came across this one. The beef turned out super moist and really tender.
