Three Bean Mexican Salad

I just returned home to Colorado from Sunny Southern California. The average temperature there was in the 60s. Today the high is a mere 38 degrees – which is about 30 degrees warmer than it’s been in the last week. Winter, I’m kind of over you. But if you must snow me in and prevent…

I’m a weird breakfast food eater. As in, I’m the kind of person who doesn’t mind eating leftover Chinese food for breakfast.

Baby, it’s cold outside! With almost a foot of snow outside, all I really want to do is to curl up on the couch with a good book and cup of hot tea. Unfortunately, working full-time puts a bit of a damper on those plans during the week. So what’s the next best thing to staying…
