Two things I love about coming back home at night: The lights already on as if to say, “Hey, welcome home! How was your day?” and supper all a-simmer, filling the kitchen with spicy warmth.

Here you'll find two ways to cook this easy one-pot chicken dinner, one on the stove and the other in your slow cooker. Both are so good! A total win, people! Real Food, Fresh & Flexible.

Calling all beet lovers! I'm thrilled to share this long-time recipe for easy pickled beets. Great news, these pickled beets don't need canning but keep for weeks and weeks in the refrigerator . I start with canned beets from the grocery store but you can also use fresh beets, just roast them first. These beets are super-simple to make whether a small batch or a large batch. We mostly eat them one or two at a time with impromptu supper salads but much to my surprise, beet pickles are really popular at parties! Whole Food, Fresh & Seasonal. No Canning Required.
