Slow Cooker Month: Beef Stroganoff With A Twist
Beef stroganoff is a common dinner staple in many homes. My mother rarely ever made it from scratch. I bet if she had had this recipe, she might have made it more often!

Oh — intentional leftovers! As I mentioned in my email, this is an opportunity to make use of the concept of intentional leftovers.

Buying a New Journal? What to Look For…

You might be using it for months before getting another one, so it should be something that checks off all your required boxes, from the size to how it looks.

It can change the weight, determine whether or not you can bring it with you in your purse, and it changes how long your pages are. If you journal at home and always have it sitting on your desk, then a larger journal might be good…
Slow Cooker Month: Slow Cooker Turkey Pot Pie
Pot pies have always been a favorite of mine. As a child, I ate a chicken pot pie almost every Friday night because my parents ate fish and I am allergic to it! Since then, I have been a fan! I don’t often have time to make a traditional chicken or turkey pot pie from scratch and bake it in a pie crust. So this is a simpler take on it. Don’t let the list of ingredients intimidate you. I do all the chopping the night before and store the ingredients in the fridge (or buy precut items if you are short on time!). In the morning, just spray your…
