Veggie Plate: Simple Supper

Barbecue Cups
When I first got married, I brought this dish to virtually every potluck I went to, and always received requests for the recipe. My husband and children love it, as do the various people who’ve received it over the years when they had a new baby, were laid up after surgery, or moved into a […]

Time to Purge
I don’t relish going through neglected areas of the house. I tend to get overwhelmed with the amount of clothes that need to be sorted, given away or saved for the next child. I also don’t like to cull through my stacks from last school year. They are much neater looking left alone in their […]
