Simple Ground Turkey Rigatoni Soup

This is one of my go-to soups for cold weather, and it is a family favorite. It is both hardy and flavorful, perfect when paired with some warm biscuits out of the oven or even some focaccia bread.

Simple Ground Turkey Rigatoni Soup: [ You could even do this in a crockpot- Just cook your meat first before tossing it into the crockpot] Ground Beef or Turkey [1-5 lbs] depending on how much you want to make.

Crockpot Pork Curry

Who doesn’t love a good set it and forget it meal, I adore my crockpot during fall and winter months, it makes it so much easier to make more than one thing at a time. This crockpot pork curry was so tender it fell apart before we even really got to shredding the meat.

Cauliflower Tikka Masala

Tikka Masala, is a warm and inviting combination of spices. It is perfect for the cooler weather that is coming and also a wonderful comfort food for the whole family to enjoy.

Eggplant Parmesan

The whole family will love this classic eggplant parmesan! Slices of tender eggplant coated in homemade breadcrumbs, and then layered with melted cheeses & rich marinara! Whether you’d like to bake or fry the eggplant, this recipe has a method for both.

Mushroom French Dip Sandwiches

I love a really good French Dip with a hot cup of Au Jus on the side to dip the sandwich into on a chilly day. While it does not get overly cold in Georgia, there are some times when there is a chill in the air and with fall setting in I needed to find some warm comfort food alternatives. I found a recipe that I thought was worth trying and I AM SO GLAD WE DID. This Mushroom French Dip Sandwich is not only affordable, it is delicious! If you do not have a lot of time to make the Au Jus yourself you can always sub it for a package of mushroom soup or even onion soup, just add water/ heat it on the stove and call it good.

Lebanese Baba Ghanoush: Heritage Recipe

This Baba Ghanoush is totally creamy, decadent, and has a wonderful balance of smoky and tangy flavor from the roasted eggplant and the lemon. I love that it’s super versatile like hummus. It pairs with pita bread, vegetables, pretzels, crackers or even as a condiment in your favorite sandwich.

Lebanese Baba Ghanoush

This Lebanese inspired Baba Ghanoush is made with only 4 ingredients: oven-roasted eggplant, lemon juice, tahini & garlic – a great alternative to hummus!

Tea & Mystery: Hannah Truelove

Welcome to the B-Side’s Crime Podcast and Blog Segment Tea & Mystery, where we research open and unsolved cases. It is our hope that we can shed new light and bring attention to cases that need it desperately. We will cover homicides, missing persons/disappearances, suspicious deaths and even cases that may not have fully evolved into a homicides. 

I cannot think of a case that fits what we are looking to help with, more than the one of 16 year old Hannah Ozburn Truelove Incident date/otherwise known as the date she would be found: Fri, 08/24/2012 – 12:00. This is still an open case that is listed as active, so there are not a lot of details that are currently available to the public. But here is what I was able to find out so far. 

Painfully Needed: Biologic Injections

I write this on an injection day of all days, why because I want to share my journey with you all. Oh the joys of injections…. This is not my favorite thing to do for sure. I have been through two different types of injections so far. Humira was my first biologic and it worked to help reduce the inflammation but it also gave me some pretty unwanted side effects. With that being said, I wanted to tell you about my journey with the biologics I have tried so far.
