While watching any post-game interview, when the reporter asks, “what contributed to your success?”, you’ll often hear the athlete say, “coach had us prepared and we executed the plan”.

Historically, my family has really liked its soda. One of the comical disputes amongst us when I was growing up was Pepsi vs. Coke. Myself, I definitely prefer Coca-Cola.

So, last week I mentioned starting a new feature that focuses on creating substitution meals for fast food favorites. The idea is to save some money, yes, but more importantly, to create healthier alternatives at home. My goal for this week is to come up with something that can be a substitute for Chick-fil-A (CFA).…

I’ve been making a lot of refrigerator pickles lately and want to share the easy recipe I’ve settled on. These are great to have on hand to eat on their own, or to add to burgers, chicken, or grilled cheese sandwiches. The goal of this recipe is to let Mary and I have all the…
