The day started out normal enough.  We ran like we do on weekends and my Homie headed off to do construction at a friend's house.  I thought I'd surprise him by making dinner (trust me, that is a HUGE surprise in this house) and chose to make my Crock Pot Lasagna.  I grabbed my cook book entitled "Recipes To Warm The Heart" from my church in Carlton, the J.M. Paine Memorial, flipped it o

You can feel a little nip in the air.  Fall is right around the corner and soon we'll be shoveling the white stuff and putting up the holiday lights.  But, with Taste of Home's Watermelon Jelly in the house you can be capitulated back to those lazy, hazy summer days in a single bite!

A few years ago I tried an old fashioned at the bar for the first time.  It was an upscale place, and I felt funny ordering my normal diet coke and whiskey combo.  I fell in love with the old fashioned right off the bat.  And it's not because I watch mad men either, although that has begun a bit of a comeback in the classic cocktail. Here's the problem... A lot of bartenders don't know how to make

One of the reasons I gave up on making home made potato salad was dealing with the potatoes.  I eventually ran across a microwave recipe that made it much easier and uses baby reds with the skins on.  However, if you are making traditional potato salad and have a WHOLE bag of potatoes to peel.  Here's how you can do it in less than a minute.

  Most of us have made breakfast in bed for mom or dad as a way to celebrate "their" day.  That either means they get a bowl of cereal with outdated milk and a spoon the dog licked or an elaborate breakfast with the help of an adult, pancakes or french toast.  But, here's a recipe from Taste of Home that looks extravagant and is so super simple.  Watch mom's jaw drop when the kids walk i

Even if you aren't planning a Cinco de Mayo party at your house, you can "spice" up the day to celebrate by serving Taste of Home's Beef and Bean Chimichangas!  Why serve just chips and salsa when you can WOW the family with this easy recipe.  Of course, ask for help with dishes after the meal BEFORE you serve it.  You know they'll want to siesta after filling up on this delicious meal!

With our Baconpalooza coming up I had bacon on the brain.  I thought I would share a easy DIY bacon recipe with you that looks like it was hard to make, but you'll be surprised.  Because of my ethnicity, teriyaki sauce is used in my kitchen often and compliments the bacon while enjoying the crisp water chestnut.  Plus, step by step instructions in my tutorial.  Why wouldn't you make it!
