Fiber One Giveaway!

Jo K. posted an article on - Jun 6, 2011, 8:23 am
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans say people should consume 25-38 grams of fiber daily, and that the average American consumes only 15 grams! Do you get enough fiber each day? I know I don't... at least not on a consistent basis. Fiber is so important to our bodies... did you know that a rec...

Chicken Orzo Salad

Jo K. posted an article on - Apr 22, 2011, 9:47 am
It's kind of hard for me to call this one a recipe... it's more of an idea or suggestion because you could add so many different ingredients to adjust it to your families tastes and preferences. Still, this is one of my FAVORITE summer dinners because it's fast, easy, cool and can use up a myriad of...

Oldie but Goodie: Zuppa Toscana

Jo K. posted an article on - Apr 18, 2011, 3:48 pm
While I've never had it, apparently this soup is supposed to be very similar to a soup that a well known Italian chain restaurant serves. Having 3 children and a limited budget, we don't go out to dinner much, so I can't vouch for how close this soup is or isn't to that one. Nevertheless... I adored...

What you didn't know about caviar

Jo K. posted an article on - Feb 28, 2011, 5:09 pm
Everyone knows about caviar, but not every one really knows caviar. I’ve come to notice that many people are mystified by several myths concerning caviar, and it is to my chagrin that these myths are not only false, but they also scare people into never trying caviar. What follows is, I hope, a ...

Cowboy Beans and a Giveaway

Cowboy beans are one of my family's favorite cold weather dishes. It's a delicious, stick to your ribs kind of meal that warms you from the inside out. Another thing I love about it is that it's so easy to make... just place everything into a crockpot and forget about it! You can go on about your da...

Mac & Cheese with Ham Casserole

Last week I saw a bunch of my favorite food bloggers mentioning this new cookbook: Perfect One Dish Dinners and I decided to try the "Shells & Cheese for Everyone" from it. Only I can't leave a recipe as is, ever. I added ham, onion, garlic and mustard powder. It turned out *really* good and while I...

CSN Stores and Online Shopping

Jo K. posted an article on - Oct 26, 2010, 11:29 am
As a busy Mom of 3 active children, I love being able to shop from home when possible. Especially when you live in a rural area like we do. Gas isn't cheap, so why drive 30 or 40 minutes if you don't have to? That's why I love to shop online with CSN Stores. Did you know that CSN Stores has just a...

Very Vanilla Cookie Crumble Ice Cream

Jo K. posted an article on - Jun 9, 2010, 3:20 pm
Recently, I was gifted with an electric ice cream maker... an appliance I've never worked with before. The last time I made fresh ice cream it was with one of those old fashioned hand crank machines that used rock salt and ice. Sure, it worked... but it took a good bit of elbow grease and preparati...

These cookies come from one of my BFFs and I've been making them for a number of years at Christmas time. They are good anytime of year, of course... but I would think they'd be perfect for St.Patrick's day! They are a *very* minty cookie, yet not terribly sweet. My kids love them, but I find these ...
