It’s not too early to start thinking about the Holiday’s and cooking/ baking. Most grocery stores have major sales of everything you will need on a weekly basis, so the time to stock up is now…especially if you will be doing a lot of baking. Most cookies can be made way ahead of time and frozen for later use ( unless you have a cookie monster residing with you ). The following oatmeal macaroons recipe is not only easy, but freezes well in an airtight container. Try a batch this weekend….you might just add them to your Holiday baking list!

Ever tire of the same old vegetable side dishes? I know we tire of the standard corn, peas, green beans etc., and try to vary our vegetables often. Getting the little one’s ( and some stubborn older ones) to experiment is often an exercise in futility, but I’ve found if it looks appealing, they will not only try it, but actually enjoy it. The cauliflower recipe below has been a big hit around here for a long time…I just never mention to the stubborn ones they are eating cauliflower! This side dish goes very well with chicken, pork or seafood. It’s quick, easy and delicious…give it a try!

On October 31, 2009, Fairbank Farms issued a massive recall of it’s beef due to concerns over contamination.
Based in Ashville, N.Y., the company recalled over 545,000 pounds of ground beef.

According to USDA records, Fairbank Farms issued recalls of it’s ground beef/hamburger in September, 2007 ( 884 pounds ) and May of 2008 ( 22,481 pounds ). Those recalls were due to E Coli concerns and possible plastic contamination.

Two people on the east coast have died, 28 have been sickened and 16 remain hospitalized to date, and the CDC ( Centers for Disease Control ) are concerned that this beef may be the source of the E Coli outbreak. Two cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome have also been associated with this beef.

I am addicted to dipping sauces. I think the whole family is, and we all have our personal favorites to dip our chicken strips, fries, meatballs or anything else in. Honey mustard tops the list, however, and it’s often hard to find and a bit expensive. I began making my own, trying to replicate certain brands and have succeeded with some, failed miserably at others.
The honey mustard recipe below turned out to be a keeper and is so simple to make that I now keep it on hand. Give it a try next time you need a dipping sauce for personal use or when you’re having a party. I doubt you’ll be disappointed!

Sometimes there’s nothing like a nice hot cup of tomato soup to ease the strain of a long and busy day. Many times, I just opt for a can, yet other times, I want that old time tomato soup that Mama used to make on cool and dreary days. It’s so easy I often wonder why I don’t make it more often, then remember that it does take an hour. Since it simply has to simmer that long with just an occasional stirring, I use that hour to pick up the house, run the vacuum or do a load of laundry….the hour goes by fast and I/ we are rewarded with a cup or bowl of fresh and delicious soup. Try it sometime!
