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...

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...

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 ...
