I just got the Costco Grocery Price List updated. There are now over 180 food products on my list. Last time I updated prices, I thought I had to update a lot of prices, but this time, it was beyond the beyond…whatever that means. With inflation, prices have kept steadily increasing. There were hardly any…

Slow Cooker Quinoa
I’m a sucker for my slow cookers. And yes, I have multiples:). I still haven’t given in to the ways of the pressure cooker. After cooking rice repeatedly in the crock-pot, I wanted to try quinoa in the slow cooker as well. So for about the last decade I’ve been cooking quinoa in the slow…
