baked-burrito

When I think of simple and nourishing, I have in mind foods that I can whip together quickly for my hard-working family. During the warmer months of the year, we devote our weekends to property work. Everyone is outside the whole weekend, clearing brush, picking up sticks, and trying to get our property ready to produce food. They’re all tired, hungry and eager for something simple and satisfying. In this post, I share how we enjoy simple and nourishing meals all weekend from one day of cooking.

Updated: 4/12/2010 You’re going to think I’m horribly simple and boring when I tell you what I do to cook chickens. This is definitely not gourmet.
