I've been craving beans lately. Not sure why, but I do love listening to my body, so beans have been added into our rotation. We're especially loving them in taco bowls with our crispy pulled pork.

I've been working on a gut healing protocol with my friend Kim of Root and Branch Nutrition for a couple of months now, and I am learning a ton as we go. One such lesson (among many) is that overnight oats are actually a wonderful food for the microbiome. And I am all about nourishing [...]
