Coffee Talk – Your Brew and You | August 10, 2009

Personally, I love coffee. I like it hot in the morning and iced in the afternoon. Lunches or dinners out that end with a cup are particularly satisfying.

“Shoepeg Caviar” | May 13, 2009

These are yummy, fresh, scoopable veggie and bean concoctions that the chips just help to shovel into my face! So, I actually tried combining the two out of necessity (because I didn’t have all of the ingredients to make either one), for a quick snack I had to take to a function last night. It was a big success. I had no leftovers.

Ham and Beans: A Nutritional Powerhouse | March 3, 2009

We had ham for dinner tonight so we have a ham bone and some ham scraps leftover.  I like to make ham and beans with the leftovers.  Always get all you can out of your food. This dinner can actually go for another round!  Most people use navy beans when making ham and beans, but on a tip from my sister a few years back, I started using pinto beans.  My kids really like them better.  I like either variety.

Always start with dried beans.  sort them and pick out the bad ones. Cover them with water and let them soak … Read More »
