How to Cook Bacon in the Oven

My family loves bacon. We don’t eat too much of it, but there are times where a package just happens to fall into my cart at the store. My favorite way to eat bacon is on a BLT sandwich with the tomato fresh from my garden. Cooking bacon in the oven is a simple way to […]

How to Cut a Coconut

  When coconuts were advertised for $1 recently, I decided it was time to learn how to cut a coconut. It seemed so intimidating to me. How was I going ‘to cut’ through the coconut? I’ll ruin my good knives. Oh, silly me. You don’t cut through a coconut. You take a hammer from your […]

How to Cut an Onion

Recently, I found myself with quite a few onions in my kitchen. I was afraid of them going bad before I could use them, so I chopped them all up to store in the freezer. Yes, all six of them and not a single tear was shed. There are two sides to the onion: the […]

Whenever I clean out my freezer, I inevitably find a few bags of bread ends that no one has bothered to finish using. Most likely that person was me, since I have this aversion to eating the end of a loaf of bread in a sandwich while it doesn’t even phase my husband. But those […]

My herbs needed a haircut. So I cut back the parsley, oregano, thyme and dill and cleaned them. I removed the leaves and discarded the stems. I then threw the leaves in freezer bags and flattened the air out of the bags. I’ll store in the freezer until I’m ready to use. I decided against […]

Meal time is starting to get more hectic around here. As my kids get older, they are participating in more activities and for some reason they happen around our normal dinner time.

How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream

Homemade Whipped Cream adds decadence to any dessert. It is a great replacement for ice cream and it is delightful just eaten out of the mixing bowl with a spoon. I chose to make whipped cream recently with my Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, because there weren’t any good sales on ice cream that week and my […]
