It’s National Slow Cooking Month, and it’s time to celebrate. I have heralded the slow cooker, aka crock pot, for many years. I even devoted a radio segment for 12 years on B98.5 every Wednesday to it called “Crock Pot Wednesday.” Clever, huh? Well, I saw this little jewel today and thought I had…
I just tweaked a recipe to make the most delicious and indulgent pan of brownies with zero gluten or sugar. I used –I hope you’re sitting down – black beans and Swerve, which is a healthy sugar substitute. Most sugar substitutes will kill you or give you dementia. Swerve won’t. If you want the real…
