Sleepy Eyed School Morning Smoothie

Is anyone else finding it hard to get up and into the routine since school started?

Slow Cooker: Restaurant Style Scratch Made Refried Beans

On one hand beans have had an excellent reputation since the beginning of time being a cheap, accessible, nutritionally dense food and on the other, many claim that beans are hard to digest causing gastrointestinal distress and diets such as Paleo are against them all together. I have already said a few times on this blog [...]
