As you may know, Earth Day is coming up on Monday, April 22nd. But did you know that your cooking and eating habits can also contribute to preserving the Earth too? It’s true! I mean, think about it.

If you’re like me, no matter how much planning you do, somehow the family meals seem to lack a bit of pizzazz and possibly even the ‘homemade-ness’ when I’m preparing for the Holidays.

Okay, so yesterday (Sunday), we fully intended to have Bacon-Tuna Casserole (a concoction I put together combining two recipes). We had it ready to go in the slow cooker and everything!
