Menu planning doesn't have to be complicated
Back when we were growing up in the South dinner wasn’t dinner without meat, potatoes and two or three other vegetables on the side. But how little can you put on the plate and feel good about calling it dinner?
Boiling Water Saves Your Sanity
When you're late, tired and truly at a loss for what to fix for dinner, walk straight to the kitchen and put a large pot of water on to boil. Suddenly, your dinner possibilities seem endless.
How can you know if baking powder and soda are still fresh?
If you don't bake frequently, you're going to need to pay particular attention to the health and well-being of your baking powder.
I wanted to take the time to say that your cookbook has been the best addition to my kitchen! I'm not a great cook and my youngest son is an extremely picky eater which makes cooking frustrating, but I've found several recipes that he likes & I enjoy making. I like how you walk through the steps to actually put things together. Many times, I've read the "prep times" in a recipe & go "Oh, yeah, right - I need to add another 30 minutes to their estimate." Your cookbook is really accurate and that makes my life much easier!
