I love taking a classic dish like seared chicken breast and sprucing it up with whatever seasonal ingredients are available to me.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Gravy
🎁 LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎁 DAY 10 Have you ever wondered what the reality of writing a food blog is reaaaaally like? I test and pivot around obstacles that are bound to happen in the kitchen so that you don't have to endure those yourselves. Although I'd like to think I am the Barefoot [...]

I'm bringing it back with a recipe that never fails me.

I posted this my first time around on the blog [...]
