Crock Pot Cheese Dip

This cheese dip recipe is always a favorite at family functions and potlucks, and is so easy to make. It comes from, of all places, the owner's manual of my Kitchen Selectives slow cooker (though I have modified it slightly). It can be served with chips, veggies, pretzels, or anything else you can think of to dip in. Also, this recipe is easily doubled if you'd like a bigger batch.

Khachapuri: A Delicious Cheese and Egg Filled Bread

If you love the taste of freshly baked bread, cheese, and eggs, this recipe is for you!

The name Khachapuri translates to "curd bread," owing to the heavenly combination of melted cheeses inside a soft, fluffy bread boat.

Summer Squash and Wild Rice Casserole

Squash season will soon be upon us. Yellow Crookneck Squash The time will come when I will make my daily trek out to the garden and be delighted to see that my first yellow crooknecks and zucchinis are ready for picking...and then there will be more the next day, and the next, and the next. It will eventually get to the point where I have grown weary of eating squash sauteed in butter, I've frozen enough of it to last me the winter, and even dehydrated thin slices of it into chips, and still, it continues to produce, and begs for me to pick it.

I wanted to exclusively breastfeed my twins, I really did. And I thought I could. While I was pregnant, I read books and articles all emphasizing the fact that the more milk you express, the more milk you will make, so there is no reason a mom shouldn't be able to feed twins or even triplets exclusively on breast milk. For whatever reason, however, my boobies didn't quite understand this theory. My babies were feeding constantly, but never seemed to get full. And worse, they were barely gaining any weight. I was starting to get very worried about my Baby Girl and Little Man. My pediatrician at the time was absolutely no help. I was told that I needed to offer them the breast more frequently, though I'm not sure how that was possible since I was already constantly feeding them--seriously, I couldn't even go to the bathroom without them screaming because my boob wasn't in their mouth.
