I admit it — I am a sucker for puns. I get a little chuckle when I see a beauty parlor called “Curl Up and Dye” or a yarn store called “Knit Knack.” So when I read about a new food company called Peas of Mind, I was excited to learn more.

These homemade granola bars are chewy, sweetened with honey and brown sugar, and easily customized to suit your family’s tastes. Feel free to add chocolate or peanut butter chips, replace the raisins or cranberries with dried cherries or chopped dried apricots, or add sunflower or sesame seeds for added protein.

A few weeks ago, I had planned a pancake dinner for our evening meal. We do that every once in a while, and while it’s always a hit, I wanted something other than greasy bacon or sausage to accompany our pancakes and fresh fruit. I decided on eggs, which are something I seldom […]

We invited a few friends, made a couple of pounds of […]

I asked my daughter recently if she wanted to help me make a salad for dinner. She was excited and quickly agreed, but when I handed her a cutting board, she became hesitant. On the other end of the counter was my cutting board and knife — a 10″ chef’s knife — much […]
