I have a five pound bag of frozen peaches to use up. I bought these for Tony, who never got around to eating them. They are taking space in my freezer so I decided to do a couple of peach recipes to get rid of them. This week's recipe is from Taste of Home for [...]
Things are moving along at the new house. However, the huge pile of beige tile we had in our garage is now down to nothing. This means we had to pull up tile in a part of our current house to place down in our new one. Now I have a bare floor that needs [...]
I will admit I have an ulterior motive for this recipe. My extra freezer is on the fritz and I am in need to use up some pork that was in it. It also got a little freezer burned, so I needed something that had some punch. I found a recipe from My Heart Beets [...]
Have you ever noticed that some things are never really low sodium. Like ham or many Asian sauces. Hot dogs are another one of those things. When a hot dog is listed as "low sodium", it's still very high. I wanted to set out to make our own low sodium hot dogs, but didn't know [...]
This recipe was influenced by my Mom. I am always looking for ways to increase my eastern European recipe repertoire. The last time she visited, all she wanted to eat for dinner was the Polish Bigos I made. Any time I come across a new eastern European recipe, I want to update it for her. [...]

This week I'm letting the slow cooker do the work. I'm going to be busy cleaning out some metal in our new to us house for recycling. We have a house that is kind of new to us. It's the house Tony grew up in. It was given to us after my father-in-law died and [...]
This week has been SO busy. Working two emergencies at once is beginning to wear me down. With Eastern Equine Encephalitis, the emergency period is short. It lasts long enough to make sure mosquito treatment is applied to prevent further animal and human cases. That also mean some long days. We have a lot of [...]
I am always on the hunt for a good recipe. I look high and low for recipes that stand out. It was a little harder to find interesting chili recipes. I think I've made your standard chili recipe hundreds of times. Black bean and sweet potato, verde, white chicken chili, Texas chili among others are [...]
As we here in the United States are influenced by the cultures that live near us, so does the rest of the world. Here in Michigan we have Middle Eastern and Canadian influences. Southwestern US has a lot of great influences from Mexico. This recipe is from New Zealand with influences of Asia. Nancy Heishman posted [...]
