Life with a two year old is proving to be every bit as hectic as they say it is. My boy is busy busy! If he’s not climbing onto countertops, he’s running full speed with something messy. Or torturing the dogs. Or tearing up the pages of his favorite books. But he certainly has his …
Healthy, delicious homemade pizza. Zero to dinnertime in less than 45 minutes. Seriously. This Sweet Potato Black Bean Pizza is the kind of quick-and-easy meal that does not taste like it would be quick or easy. It has become one of my favorite I-don’t-feel-like-making-dinner dinners.
