Ever since starting my new wellness journey and changing my eating habits, I have relied mostly on information and recipes from others – thank goodness for the world wide web! (and my Mother lol) That all changed tonight.

I didn’t have any recipes planned out but I had some ground beef that needed used and some green beans — and there started my concoction 🙂  My hubs (Abe) has always called the meals I used to make concoctions – he’d come home and ask what’s for dinner – and if it wasn’t something like spaghetti or meatloaf – you know, something definite – then immediately it was a concoction. I used to take a little offense to that term – but not any more! I’m proud of my concoctions 😉
