Now that fall and winter is rolling in, my family and I are spending more time in the kitchen. My daughter is the “up and coming” chef and has an interest in baking. I’m just in the kitchen for mainly safety purposes. Her favorite thing to make is brownies. It’s been convenient to pickup up […]
Groceries are expensive and feeding a family can be difficult. Thankfully, in Louisiana, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), provides monthly benefits that help eligible low-income households buy the food they need for good health. According to nationwide stats, in 2019, Louisiana had roughly 500,000 SNAP/TANF households. That’s a lot of families that need additional […]
Since back to school looks a lot different this year, we all need more convenient and simple recipes. If you’re making a lot more meals at home, because of virtual school, you need healthy options that are easy to prepare. One of my favorite things to make in the kitchen is a charcuterie board. A […]
There are only a few days left in summer but that doesn’t mean grilling time is over. My husband and I enjoy grilling – ribs, sausage, pizzas, fish, you name it, we are happy to grill it. One thing my Dad (“Paw” to my kids) taught me is you can cook anything, any day, and […]
Summer is my favorite season! This season is so beautiful in its own way. The flowers are blooming and the long days are the best. Summer won’t be around much longer so we are excited to get outdoors, grill, and enjoy the long days left. We pull out our chairs and all the essentials for […]
Back to school season is here and there is so much to do. The school year might look a little different this year but some things will remain the same. Meals and snacks are an important part of any school day and we all need brands we can trust for different meals. Sara Lee® is a trusted […]
Yummy, yummy, mango and pineapple cocktail! I love it when I find food at the grocery store and I am inspired to create a recipe. I have never had a mango pineapple cocktail before, until the mangoes and pineapple went on sale at my local grocery store. That is how this cocktail came about…a sale. […]
Do you want to know something surprising? I never liked avocados and definitely not guacamole, until I was in my late twenties. I have no idea why it took me so long to fall in love with both. Of course, my husband and I both feel in love with chargrilled oysters only a few years […]
It’s mid-summer and it’s hot! Hot enough for all the refreshing drinks. I love fixing and creating new cocktails during summer. This summer is no different, especially, since I can’t go out safely and get one. I’ve been mulling over what to make for weeks now. I always like to make things that are in […]
There isn’t a soup that I’ve tasted and didn’t like. Soup is just so comforting to me. Whether it’s a potato soup, vegetable soup, or tortilla soup – I love it all! Today, I thought I’d share a soup recipe that I make a few times a year – Hamburger Soup. Of course, I love […]
Do you get intimidated by the thought of making a cocktail? Mixed drinks or cocktails intimidated us for a long time. We left it up to the mixologists and bartenders at restaurants to make special drinks. But now we’re making cocktails like a pro. Having the correct accessories and ingredients on hand will help you […]
Do you know what one of the great things about meal planning is? Other than saving time and money, you can use this system at any point in the week, to get on track with meals. For the past five weeks, we’ve been sick and went on two trips, so what’s for dinner has varied. Guess […]
