Something Stirring

Enjoy the white noise of indistinct chatter for 15 minutes.

Spend 20 minutes chilling out with Billy the goat accompanied by a background of birds singing.

I am a big fan of doing things from scratch with fresh ingredients. Today we look at coleslaw and either making it from scratch or embellishing a store bought version and making it your own - delicious.

Today it's bean dip! Totally easy, I don't know why everyone isn't doing it.
