Thank you all! My pears didn't ripen in time and strawberries went on sale for $3! So I went with a traditional chocolate covered strawberry and they were very well liked!

I like to cook what I'm in the mood for but I'm never disciplined when I do it that way... I pretty much have zero self control :) so I try to help myself with planning, otherwise everyday I'm in the mood for Phad Thai with lots o peanut sauce or of course any if your good 'ol American...

Wow!!! Thank you all so much for the help! I am going to get some pears and bananas, my husband loves pears so he'll be happy too! Thanks again! To the person who asked what is available to me. I can get almost anything it's just the prices are nuts and or the fruit is bad. In the summer I...

I thought I'd share. I am a bit of a health nut, not only am I calories, fat, etc conscious but I hate chemical in my food! But I am in alaska so my budget and overall options have me a bit limited. We don't have a whole lot of organic up here, so I do what I can by making jus about everything...

Lol Frozen food queen!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes! I am excited to share as I go! And of course Learn learn and learn!

Hello All, I found DC while searching for a place to write about cooking. I'm in my 20's and married, I have amazing friends but none if them care to cook! A couple do cook but just the basic toss it together-call it good-cook, and a few who literally do not cook! It seems finding folks my age...
