Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Theme of this quarantine: I think constantly about what I can bake/cook next. Problem: I’m limited on the variety of ingredients I have available and, of course, am avoiding going to the store unless absolutely necessary.

Warm Roasted Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette
The best salads, in my opinion, don’t include lettuce. And don’t even get me started on roasted vegetables.

Chili Topped Sweet Potatoes
Try to tell me you don’t want to eat that sweet potato overflowing with chili. Yeah… The sweetness of the potato with the spicy chili is such a good balance and makes for a healthy, hearty meal. I know a lot of you have freezers full of beef, so give this one a try to…
Bullish vs. Bearish – What do these terms mean?
What does it mean when a USDA report is BULLISH or BEARISH for a commodity? You hear it all the time in the industry, “The crop report is OUT! Everyone, it was a bullish report day for beans with yield at “insert yield here” and production at “insert reported production here.” Here’s the problem. If…
