As promised, more cilantro recipes! We love love love these black beans.

My oldest son isn’t the biggest fan of beans, but he seemed to enjoy these. I’m [...]

I love being able to serve Sunday dinner shortly after arriving home from church. But I don’t like leaving the oven on while we are gone. I do feel comfortable leaving the slow cooker on, so I occasionally use it to make Honey Glazed Ham. I can cook the ham for one hour on high, [...]
