Who doesn't love a good pizza?Most of us grew up in busy households, and maybe once a week (maybe more) our parents would decide it was pizza night.
Who needs to cook when $6 pizzas are just a phone call away?
Ah, memories.And those pizzas were delicious: Soft, chewy crusts, thick cheese and amaz...

I love sweet potatoes, but it can get old just eating them the same old way every time (usually baked with butter, coconut oil, real salt and cinnamon).
So here's a great curried sweet potato recipe to mix it up on those "lighter" nights. It can even be served as a side dish to a bigger meal (ho...

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...

In Asia, rice is eaten at every meal.
For lunch and dinner, there is generally a steamed white rice on the side of several stir-fried dishes with veggies and a bit of meat. Every once in awhile they'll fry some leftover rice with other leftovers for “fried rice.”...

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...
This recipe is great because it can use left-over baked potatoes, mashed potatoes or you can just cook up some potatoes just for the soup Uust do that beforehand-make a big batch and use them for several meals!)
So next time you crave that creamy, substantial, potato & onion goodness, you'll ...
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...
Making red sauces from scratch can be a time-consuming and daunting task, but not with VitaClay! No more slaving over a hot stove or heating up the house for hours on end, only to end up with a burned, sticky mess at the bottom of the pot, and maybe even a burney-tasting red sauce.

Creamy soups are my favorite, especially when it starts to get chilly outside. Maybe it's because I like to have soup as a meal, and they're really thick and satisfying. Maybe it's because they're so delicious. Try this creamy, cheesy broccoli soup for yourself, and you'll be begging to eat more ...

Baked beans are a great weekend food: they pair well with game-day food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, roasts or anything on the grill.
