My top 5 favorite artichoke recipes. In keeping with our healthier eating goals here at home, we’ve started eating more fruits and vegetables and learning to prepare these healthy foods in new and delicious ways. That is the case with artichokes. I’ve never really eaten or prepared artichokes before. I’ve had artichoke dip as an appetizer from various restaurants, but never thought, “Boy, I’d like
Well, here in my hometown, it’s almost time to go Back to School. Boy, I can almost hear the moans and sighs through my computer!

These back to school printables are the perfect way to take the drudgery out of
How many times have you thought you needed some time to get away – get away to rejuvenate, recharge, reassess or possibly even to create? At various times in my life, I’ve needed to do just that and, on those fortunate few times, was able to retreat. But today, I’d particularly like to talk to you about a creative retreat. If you’re a blogger, you

I’m sure most of you have probably seen videos on Facebook or around the web that shows you how to shred chicken, claiming you can shred chicken using an ordinary hand mixer. Well, I was a skeptic even after watching the video, so I had to give it a try! Guess what? It works! IT WORKS PERFECTLY. Perfectly, uniformly, no burnt fingers kind of perfect.
Next to a smoker, this pulled pork recipe is my family’s favorite! It’s easy to make and oh so flavorful! No more restaurant pulled pork for you! Summer is quickly coming to a close, but there’s still time for one more barbecue recipe! You can modify this pulled pork recipe so that you cook the pork on your gas grill instead of baking in your oven.
These parker house rolls are light and buttery, with a dusting of sea salt. They just may be the most perfect and versatile roll ever! Oh, man. My taste buds are activated just thinking about this Parker House Rolls Recipe. The rolls are soft and dense with a wonderful yeasty aroma and salty tops. Yum! I love to make homemade bread, rolls, pies, desserts – well,
This is an easy pan fried kale recipe that’s loaded with flavor and ready in 15 minutes. Who knew kale could have so much flavor?!

I’ve already incorporated several changes into my healthy living lifestyle. One was the inclusion of a

When Lenny and I traveled to Fort Gordon, Georgia, for the birth of our granddaughters, we took a slight detour in southern Ohio through Rio Grande, stopping at The Bob Evans Farm. We didn’t tour the barns or grounds, but simply stopped (in the pouring rain) to enjoy a sit-down dinner. Our dinner was really tasty and our service was great, by the way! If
I am just so excited to finally share our new additions with you! You may be surprised to find that it’s not a chalk paint finished table, neither is it fashionable ottoman or even a wooden tray from reclaimed wood. Now that I think about it, these little babies are the ultimate DIY projects! Lenny and I are so proud to introduce you to our
So, I was searching the web looking for baby items to crochet when I ran across these crocheted ottoman/pouf/hassock patterns.

I can eat chili winter, summer, spring or fall! This chili recipe I’m sharing with you today, is chili “my way.” The men in my family like their chili thick

So, by now you know how much I like cumin. In fact, it’s one of my favorite spices – maybe my favorite! I’ve already shared with you my recipe for taco seasoning. Well, with just a little modification, you can turn that taco seasoning recipe into a recipe for chili seasoning! But, this isn’t just any chili seasoning recipe. It’s a copycat recipe for Skyline
Summertime in my house means we (I) like to cook foods that are easy to prepare and don’t require I slave over the stove for hours. I mean, who wants to spend a beautiful summer evening in the kitchen? I’d rather be outdoors or spending time with my family. Summer is no time to slack off into old eating habits, either. So, I thought I’d
