We’ve been lucky for a few years now, but I always keep some things in the pantry that could be used in case of a hurricane, for a no-cook meal.

I am still trying new things in the kitchen and I recently spent a few hours canning.

Yes, there really is a National S’mores Day and it is next Tuesday.

We were recently challenged to eat more vegetables at our Weight Watchers meeting and I have been working to that end daily.

This has turned out to be my month of discovery; I have tried new recipes nearly every day, believe it or not! It helps that I have a large supply of pantry items and now I will have to replenish it soon.

This past week I have tried way too many new recipes!

Sometimes I think it is just too hot to cook dinner, and I’m sure you all agree with that statement.

It’s July and that means it is National Ice Cream Month, really.

My week is not complete until I visit the Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning.

I don’t know how it goes at your house, but the grill is HIS domain. I rarely cook on his grill, so for Father’s Day I’m giving him a break and cooking inside.

I do not remember the first time I ate a cold soup.

Even I get tired of being in the kitchen when the temperatures start to rise.

Growing up I didn’t really think about what Memorial Day was.

Sometimes when I am in a rush I forget to read through the whole recipe before I start.

I am always looking for new ideas for meals and desserts.

Sometimes, the best meals are made at home.
