One reason: Liquid calories may be making you fat. They may be making the entire country fat. The Centers for Disease Control … Read More

We love to try new foods. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
We prefer to use fresh lemons and limes whenever possible but sometimes find we need a dash of lemon to add to a recipe with no fresh lemons in the kitchen. We’ve never been crazy about bottled lemon or lime juice. So we were pleasantly surprised to try Volcano Lemon Burst. Made by Dream Foods, both the Volcano Lemon Burst and the Volcano Lime Burst come in 6.7 oz fruit-shaped, plastic squeeze bottles. … Read More

Meatless meals and folks who define themselves as quasi-vegetarians (those who eat animal foods sometimes) are becoming more mainstream. Meatless Monday, going meatless one day a week, is gaining popularity. Some towns and cities are promoting this idea as a way to get their citizens more interested in health.

We honestly did not think this product would work but we were pleasantly surprised. Spin ‘n Stor is a reusable plastic bag that spins salads and herbs dry and stores them for use. The plastic bag which is approximately 12 X18 inches is large enough for a head of Romaine lettuce or 2 bunches of parsley. You simply rinse the salad or herbs, place them in the bag, hold the top closed and spin the bag 10 to 12 times. The water collects in a specially designed reservoir on the side and bottom of the bag. It is easy to drain. The salad is ready to use or the company suggests that you “fluff” it in the bag and store it for future use. … Read More

Mom’s is a great name for this tomato sauce because it does taste homemade. As you pour the sauce from the jar you’ll see chunks of tomatoes, whole basil leaves and whole gloves of garlic. The garlic is sweet and mild, because it is simmered slowly to make the sauce. Don’t be afraid to eat a clove or two. … Read More
