Food I made a taco burger the other day, of sorts. I grilled burgers that contained diced onions, bell peppers, garlic and various chili powders.

Deal Hy-Vee on 6th street is giving away a box of Hefty green bags for every $12 in fresh produce you buy. This is the second time I’ve caught this offer. The first offer was the first time I tried the bags. I’m amazed at how much longer my produce lasts. I read up on [...]

Center for Science in the Public Interest threatens to sue McDonald’s if they don’t stop using toys to to lure children to its Happy Meals. I don’t feel they are luring my children anywhere. Why? I’m the one that has to take them there in the first place. I can just not do that. And [...]
