Did you notice the amount of weight on the machine?” my husband asked. I was trying to push the handles on the weight machine forward. I would have had equal success moving a wall.

By Julie Garden-Robinson May 15, 2015

As I perused my cupboards and storage pantry the other day, I found several boxes of cereal. Some were unopened and some had folded-down wrappers with half of the contents waiting to be devoured.

By Julie Garden-Robinson May 1, 2015

Are we going to buy a pallet of baked beans today?” my husband teased. I grabbed the handle of the van-sized grocery cart and began strolling through the towers of food in the warehouse where food is sold in bulk quantities. I put a large bag of avocados in my cart even though I had

Whew!” I thought to myself when I opened the can of solid shortening. It looked OK, but the aroma almost took my breath away. I have one recipe where I use this particular type of fat, and I hadn’t made it in at least six months, based on the date I had listed on the

What should I grill for dinner tonight?” my husband asked the other day. I began naming a variety of possibilities. Then I paused and grinned. Buying him a grill for Father’s Day was the best gift I ever bought myself, our three kids and even our three dogs. We all enjoy the benefits of delicious
