Driscoll's Berries

With Spring in the air fruit is an even bigger hit at my home. Driscoll's sent me several coupons to get me in the mood for Spring. They have even expanded their recipes section on line at http://www.driscolls.com/. Personally, I like to enjoy my berries just as nature intended - untouched, but it's always fun to try something new.

There just isn't enough time in the morning to get everything done and everyone fed. I like to keep Aunt Jemima's Lil'Griddles in my freezer because they not only make my kids happy, but their mom as well. Every batch is made from scratch, (just like you made them at home) with real eggs, milk, and sugar. I've been trying to raise … [Read more...]

  Here is my little monster! He made a huge announcement recently that he no longer wants to eat animal products. He told me that eating animals is bad for the environment and he loves nature. How could I not respect that? I'm what you would call a flexitarian. That means I eat meat on occasion, but it's not my main food source.
