On Tuesday I tweeted this “Should I go Sweet or Savory for my Thursday post??” @bodaciousgirl responded with  ”The other “S” – Spooky.”  That request fit in with none of the recipes I had in the posting pipeline. Truly, I thought I was done posting Halloween. Not. Quite.

I have to admit I am not really a rice kind a gal. I prefer a giant piece of protein with heaps of fresh veggies. That said, with lots of goodies thrown this grain is a whole lot more tempting for me. In this recipe I take a bunch of my favorite ingredients, coconut, cinnamon, [...]

Lately I have had a fierce addiction to blaring country music in my car. Have never been much a fan of it until now. Perhaps it was the Egg Farm tour I just got back from.
