I am a finicky fish eater!  I know it's good for me, one of the healthiest proteins to eat, but I don't like the fishy taste.  While I was on vacation, I found this recipe from Taste of Home that boasted a non-fishy flavor.  I gave it a shot with frozen cod fillets and LOVED it! (just couldn't bring myself to get fresh cod from the glass case, that will be my next hurdle).

As a child, Valentine's Day always meant getting boxes of conversation hearts.  I never really liked them, but it was always fun trying to find the perfect message to give to your friends or that one "special" person.  What better way to get the ultimate perfect message, make your own homemade conversation hearts!  It's a great novelty idea for upcoming weddings or graduation parties, be

My wife the other day said she was going to make taco pasta. I looked at her like she was crazy.  Taco pasta?  You mean taco seasoning and noodles?  That sounds weird.  Well that, and a few extra ingredients make this dish delicious.  In fact, it became our 5 year old's favorite meal!

I'm so excited about this Taste of Home recipe.  One of my favorite party foods, besides meatballs, is chicken wings.  All kinds, all flavors, all spices, all sauces!  The easier to make em', the better!  This recipe is a MUST MAKE!

So, you're house has been designated the "place to watch the big game"! Great!  You love having your friends over, but besides cleaning the house, you have the task of determining what to serve.  Oh sure, you're friends will bring chips, but request they bring tortilla chips and give em' something yummy to put on it, avocado salsa from Taste of Home!

Once the cold snap is over and we can return to skiing, skating, Polar Bear Plunging and other outdoor activities.  After being out in the cold air warm yourself from the inside with piping hot, easy to make, flavored coffee from Taste of Home.

With temps below zero and a wind chill advisory in effect until tomorrow at noon, I thought a hot tasty meal for the family would be a welcome warm up for y'all! Try this Chili-Lime Chicken Toastada from Taste of Home.

Besides the game, these cute little cream cheese penguins from allrecipes.com will be the conversation piece at your football or tailgating party tomorrow night.  I'm going to try to make them so I read the reviews and can offer some tips:

The big game is coming up this Saturday, January 5 at 7p.  Will you be ready for a house full of hungry football fanatics?  Relax!!  It will be easy with the help of Taste of Home.  Let's start with this yummy Beer Cheese in a Bread Bowl Dip (sounds kinda Packerish, doesn't it), and I'll keep the recipes coming!  Feel free to share these recipes and ENJOY!

This Christmas I received as a gift the new George Foreman Panini Grill.  At first I really didn't know what to think.  I've never made a panini, and only have eaten about 2 of them in my entire life.  But wait... this does more than just paninis!

A Tom and Jerry is a traditional Christmastime cocktail that a British journalist came up with in the 1820s. It is most commonly seen in Wisconsin and  Minnesota and uses eggnog with brandy and rum added, it can be served hot (my choice), or cold.

A hot beverage will be appreciated this weekend with the snow expected.  Taste of Home has taken a old favorite, hot chocolate and added a tasty twist.  Maple flavoring, mmmmmmm!  Imagine the taste of rich, creamy chocolate coupled with maple flavoring, it will have the skeptics asking for another cup.  (You might want to make a double batch!)
