It may sound like a mean joke, but adding a peanut butter cup to your favorite chili recipe actually works.

There's really only two ingredients to this low carb snack. It's surprisingly easy to make, and it helps satisfy your crunch.

I don't know if Walmart just started carrying these up here, but it's the first time I've ever seen them. They are called Chicken Paws and it's packaged chicken feet.

Kids 8-14 years old are encouraged to take part in the Minnesota Super Bowl Legacy Fund's "Super Snack Challenge." Kids can create a healthy snack for the competition that pairs up with the Super Bowl LII Festival in Minneapolis.

Want a quick breakfast that gives you the energy you need for the day but only takes 5 minutes? Here ya go!

First off, I am NOT a fan. Never have been, but my mom felt she needed to serve liver and would try to make it different ways to make it taste better. Maybe it was the consistency of the meat, I don’t know. I remember being at Old Country Buffet years ago and piling on a huge spoonful of stuffing on my plate. I love stuffing, but this had a “just not right” taste to it. When I asked, I found out i

Did you get Knox Blox when you were young?  It actually made eating jello tolerable and fun.  You mixed Knox unflavored gelatin with a jello flavor of your choice and it hardened in a 9X13 pan.  That allowed you to cut it into squares that you could pick up with your fingers (probably dirty fingers, but hey, we were kids).  Here's the recipe.

I have seen lots of different recipes for tin foil dinners on the grill and have always wanted to try one while we were camping. This is the recipe we chose this past weekend. It was easy and I used pre-cooked grilled chicken for ease and food safety.

It was quite by accident that I invented a new drink that is refreshing and lo-cal. It only takes three ingredients and it doesn’t involve soda so there’s no fizz to fill you up.  It's the perfect summer drink!  Now I just have to come up with a name for it.

My husband decided late in the Spring to start a garden last year. I told him it would be all him since I kill air ferns (who knew they needed water too, I thought they just needed air!) However, I felt horrible guilty when the garden began to reap a harvest and I had nothing to do with it but make the salads and/or cook the vegetables. They were delicious, it saved on our grocery bill and I know

Whether it's National Margarita Day or just a Tuesday, I always love tequila and margaritas.  I know that margaritas aren’t that hard to make from scratch, but sometimes it's just cleaner and easier to buy the mixes and just add your favorite tequila.

Have you ever participated in a cookie exchange?  You know the kind where you bake umpteen cookies at home, by yourself and bring them to exchange with others that have done the same thing?  My former mother-in-law made our cookie exchange much more fun with time spent together making memories and we went home with 7 dozen different cookies in just under 3 hours.  Here's how and the recipes of the
