Easy Ideas for a Fun Fourth of July Celebration

I love something on my front door to set the mood for a Fourth of July party.  Here's a great-looking wreath that costs just a couple of dollars.

Ultimate Blueberry Muffins

These could very well be the Ultimate Blueberry Muffins. If you know someone who loves blueberry muffins, make these for them & they will not forget!

Working with and Storing Raw Cranberries

I case you don't have experience with raw cranberries, here are a few tips.  They come in 12 oz. bags in the produce section.  They used to come in 16 ounce bags, so be careful if your recipe calls for a 1 pound bag.  Also it seems to me that the cranberries you buy early in the holiday season are of better quality than those offered late in the … [Read more...]
