Perhaps oddly to some, I’ve never been a big pepper user. I love salt and always squirmed when given something with pepper on it, and I could always tell. I suppose age changes the likes and dislikes of people as recently, I’ve begun to experiment by using …

I purchased this brownie mix for $3.15 at my local grocery store Friday night. We were entertaining guests and rather than spending close to $6.00 for the already made up brownies I decided it would be thriftier (And homier I might add.) to just make my own. As soon …

When I moved out, we used the Country Crock tubs …

Stouffer’s Pork Cutlet would be pretty bland if not for the toppings that are found on the pork cutlet. The pork cutlet itself is really pretty tasteless and dull, although it is fairly tender, so at least that is a plus. The toppings that I am referring to is …
