Cola Pork & Apple Slaw

Cola Pork & Apple Slaw
I’m doing this new thing with grocery shopping lately.  Usually I would go to the store for a big shop once every two weeks.  That worked OK except I have this big problem with keeping produce fresh.  We also waste SO much food because things always come up and meal plans [...]

Cinnamon Flax Scones

Cinnamon Flax Scones
Last Thursday during Life Group, while everyone else was watching LOST (blah!) my little friend Lilli and I decided to make a “cooking project”.   I decided that I wanted to use the milled flax seed I bought at the grocery store several months ago because up until then I hadn’t found a use [...]

The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition is…
