We have been using Almond Milk in our smoothies daily for more than two years now, finding the brand that we prefer,... Continue Reading →
How's your garden coming along? Is it bursting with zucchini? I found this recipe for a bread that isn't as sweet as most, it has a little brown sugar and honey in place of the usual 2c of white sugar.

I follow a food blog called Kevin and Amanda's Recipes and they have some unusual twists on good food. I made this recipe for a small group, doubled it for about 20 people, not one burger was left at the end of the night, and several people asked me for the recipe. Party Cheeseburgers 1...

It's officially strawberry season, my daughter and I picked almost 20 pounds of 'em over the weekend! This is one of my favorite summer desserts because it's light, easy to make and has a great presentation.
