MADE FROM SCRATCH
I had just lined up a half dozen mason jars on the kitchen counter when my son Alex came into the room. “What are you up to?” He asked as I began pulling spices from the cabinet. “I’m making homemade ranch, taco and gravy mixes.” I shook the container of chili powder to make sureContinue reading “MADE FROM SCRATCH”
A RESOLUTION I CAN KEEP
“I think I’ve found my New Year’s resolution for this year.” I said as I stepped back and admired the kitchen drawer I’d just cleaned out.

That’s because no oneContinue reading “A RESOLUTION I CAN KEEP”
