  Crock Pot Vegetarian Beef Stir Fry

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  Ever wonder how to feed vegetarians but still make something that your family will eat?  My boys are meat-eaters.  I praise them for their love of fruits and veggies, too, but without meat, they would not survive.

• Crock Pot Green Bean Casserole

  Posted on by Valerie in Recipes, Side dishes.

  It doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving to enjoy a side dish that can be a year round favorite.  I like to go to restaurants and just order an array of side dishes as my meal— green bean casserole, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and scalloped apples are some of my favorites. Let’s be honest, it’s a […]
