We've been having a lot of rain and dreary grey days this spring and summer, and I always find a nice bowl (or two) of homemade soup always cheers me up while warming me up.

Butternut Squash Risotto
This risotto was so delicious and so easy to make! I ate practically the whole pan tonight myself!

Throughout the day as this was cooking in the slow cooker,… Continue reading Slow Cooker Marinara Chicken and Vegetables
