Saxsy Stuff Shopping Bags – Review and Giveaway(ENDED)

When it comes to my eco-friendly, green goddess lifestyle, I have a few things that I simply can’t live without.  They are the things that I use on a daily basis, well, most days.  Without them I would just be lost, kind of like a treehugger without body hair.  Yeah, I think you know what I mean.I […]

Easy Vegetable Pot Pie Recipe for Meatless Monday

We have had some chilly, rainy days here over the last couple of weeks.  Oh, the joys of springtime.  Unfortunately, that kind of weather doesn’t make me want to fire up the grill or make a salad.  It makes me want comfort food.  You know what I mean, right?  The kind of food that warms your soul […]
