pollo en mole
I look forward to coming home after work on Monday nights. That’s usually when Ben cooks something special for us both. Today he cooked pollo en mole, or Chicken Mole. The beauty of mole is that there are a ton of ingredients, and they don’t always need to be there, or can easily be substituted…

Slow Cooker Chicken, Sausage, and White Bean Chili

A fun do-it-yourself craft project is the adorable origami chick bookmark tutorial found on the Homesteadin' Mama site. The author, Mindie, walks readers through the easy folding process with step-by-step directions and excellent images. Upon completion, you will have a cute tiny origami chick that you may use to indicate the page in a book. These cutesy inventions are loved by all, as demonstrated by Mindie's teenage son who, in spite of his cool teenager persona, proudly uses the chick bookmark in his school books. This is a terrific craft for kids and adults alike, as the ingredients are easily obtained and reasonably priced. All things considered, this piece provides an enjoyable and imaginative method to infuse your reading with a hint of springtime charm.
