Because VitaClay is called a “rice and slow cooker,” sometimes people don't realize how many other things can be cooked in VitaClay as well. For example, really any grain can be cooked in VitaClay, and most of them you can use the rice setting.
Quinoa comes out great in VitaClay using the white r...
I love to be able to make quick, easy meals at home. The problem with this is the time and effort usually required to make everything from scratch.
The way around this, of course, is to buy something pre-made, like, say a jar of spaghetti sauce or Alfredo sauce.
This makes things easier, but I do...

I love this beef goulash recipe, because it's basically just a revised version of our yummy beef stew.
It really isn't much different, as far as ingredients, prep and cooking time, but the flavor of the sauce is quite different, especially if sour cream is added into the sauce at the end.

This asparagus and avocado soup can be eaten warm or cold, and fits in well with the fickle cool-then hot weather we have during the springtime rains.
It's rare that asparagus is found in soup, and even rarer that avocado is, but this combination comes out with a lovely flavor and texture that y...

Growing up, tomato soup was one of my favorite things to eat. It was simple, filling and delicious. It was warm and comforting in the winter, and I could just curl up with a piping hot mug of it and be happy.
I still love tomato soup, but now I like to add different flavors, from a dollop of sour...
