Looks Like a Good Day for a Picnic

Who can forget one of Yogi Bear’s favorite catchphrases, “A pic-a-nic basket has everything a bear needs?” Jellystone Park was definitely a perfect place to enjoy a meal alfresco, but did you know that picnics were affairs originally held indoors? And that there is science behind many of the foods commonly found nestled in a picnic hamper? Yep, there’s a reason we crave watermelon this time of year. ...read more

Office lunches, holiday open houses, neighborhood gatherings, Secret Santa get-togethers, Christmas parties... The list can be staggering. And that’s OK. Nothing brings a group together better than a good meal. So, let us prepare to lay a beautiful table and fill it with tasty fare from the best cooks around. ...read more

Putting Up Your Harvest

For many not so long ago, canning and freezing summer’s bounty was a lifeline. The beans, corn, squash, cucumbers, and whatever else was coming in from the garden weren’t meant just to be enjoyed as they are harvested but to put food on the table during the winter when “pickin’s were slim.” Now, canning or freezing is more of a tradition than a necessity, but there is still a certain sense of pride and accomplishment that goes along with it. ...read more
