Tip Of The Day

For all you people out there who are trying to eat healthy, this one's for you.  When grocery shopping spend most of your time inside the store in the produce area.  Make sure you fill your basket with all the colors in the section.  A rainbow plate is a healthy plate.  Not only will it look pretty you will also be more likely to try new things.
 Just a Quick Little Note
Hello again.  I know it has been a long time since I have been here and I truly am sorry.  But, the important thing is, I’m back.  Since I left I have been still cooking and doing my thing, so to speak.  Now I am ready to share and raring to go.

I will still be posting regular good ole’ down home cooking but will be doing some heart healthy and diabetic recipes along with them.
Let’s get busy.

Today I will give you a Gift in a jar recipe.  They are a terrific gift, I have never met anyone who didn't love it.  You simply fill it with the dry contents, write up a direction card to let them know the liquid contents they will need and decorate the jar.
