I am starting this Blog as a way to network with other people who love food as much as I do. I will be posting food pictures and recipes in the future. I appreciate the farm to fork concept and enjoy creating delicious, healthy foods that are organic and sustainable.

Chicken, Mushroom and Brown Rice Slow Cooker Casserole
Chris let me take center stage when preparing tonight's delicious meal. As a working mother, there is nothing better than being able to throw all of the ingredients of a meal into the Crock Pot and forget about it until dinner time! This dish was served with steamed asparagus and Chris' favorite my homemade Sun Dried Tomato Fococcia. (Pictures of the bread will be posted soon!)
