Shop your Pantry
In the United States, we waste between 30 to 40 percent of our food supply, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

Next, we freeze any leftovers that we are not going to eat in the next couple of days. If we do have any food that…

Peanut Butter Cookies
Decembers Recipe Redux Challenge/Theme was to grab the nearest cookbook and “ReDux” the recipe on page 201, 18, 218 – or any combination of the number ‘2018.’ I grabbed my trusty Better Homes and Garden Cookbook my Grandma bought me after I moved out of my parents home. So to say the least I’ve used this cookbook a lot over the years. Original recipe title Peanut Butter Cookies in the Better Homes and Garden page 218. It was purely a coincidence this recipe was a sweet treat which I feel it totally appropriate for this holiday season! In reality, you can make this treat any time of year it’s a…

We’ve all heard the saying, “listen to your gut.” And while that advice often refers to our intuition, it should also speak to our digestion. One way I…

Picnic Season
Its that time of year! Picnic Season! Did you know that April 23rd is National Picnic Day?! I am hoping the weather will be nice so we can have a picnic dinner on National Picnic Day! I have always enjoyed a good picnic from driving up to the mountains to a backyard picnic with my kids. When my husband and first started dating we went on a lot of fun picnics, we would drive somewhere preferably in the mountains and where there was a lake, river or stream so Ryan could get a little fishing in. What are your favorite picnic dishes you like to make? Here is a quick and…
