    I can definitely relate! The second time I made chili from scratch I filled the crockpot too full. We invited guests over and the chili hadn’t reduced after 8 hours of cooking. Needless to say, we had to find something else to eat.

    On a side note, I would love to have your olive oil & garlic dip recipe.

      I made something in the crockpot once and the liquid didn’t burn off either. Luckily it was a soup so it wasn’t too bad–just a little watery. Boo.

      The dip recipe is simple–olive oil, balsamic (I think I used pomegranate infused balsamic that time), salt, pepper, Italian seasoning mix (dry) and minced garlic. Just mix it all together. It’s delicious!

    Hi Lisa, so true about “win a few/lose a few” in the kitchen. Not long ago I made an excellent stuffed chicken breast recipe….it was a true keeper….in the same week, I made a really bland and yuck pasta recipe. It was supposed to be curry. It was weird and we had grilled cheese and soup for dinner than night. πŸ™‚

      Ha! I love that you had grilled cheese and soup for dinner when you messed up the pasta. I can’t say that hasn’t happened to us a few times….. πŸ™‚

    The dinner fails help you appreciate the delicious dinners, right?! And you can’t go wrong with peanut butter, even if it is on crackers. πŸ™‚

      Yes! That’s an excellent way to look at it. Whenever the dinners are AWESOME I feel so good!

    What’s the sauce on the cauliflower? Maybe balsamic dressing? I love classic dinners that you know you can make healthy and successful–makes eating healthy easy and tasty πŸ™‚

      It’s Trader Joe’s Goddess Dressing. I think it has Tahini sauce in the dressing. It’s really delicious! One of my favorites. It’s a little higher in fat and calories than vinaigrette but I eat it in small doses.
