Top Dish Tarragon Chicken – Liz’s rave

PrintAs you guys know, cooking is about as high on my list as a trip to the dreaded dentist. It’s not that I don’t like to cook. It’s more that I don’t like figuring out what to cook.

Like last night. Granted, I’ve fixed … Read entire article »

Betcha Didn’t Know – how the Thanksgiving wishbone tradition began

A circle was drawn in the dirt and divided into twenty wedges that represented … Read entire article »
