Three of my favorite food smells are fried bacon, roasted turkey, and fresh brewed coffee. . .and I'm sure there is a recipe out there somewhere that includes all of them. But for now, let's keep them separate.

There are so many quick and yummy recipes that include beef, pork, or chicken that I'm never at a loss for something to make on the fly. Yes, there are a lot of people these days that have sworn off meat, some of them for health, some of them for ethical reasons. And I used to be one of them. But then I had kids and realized something - meat is easy. It just is.
