To Brine or not to Brine?
Yes – definitely Brine your Thanksgiving turkey, unless it is a butterball, which has already been brined, which is why they always come out so juicy and flavorful. Brine is simply a salt water solution with herbs and seasonings, and is the secret to a juicy, flavorful turkey. Salt causes the meat tissue to absorb water and flavorings. It also breaks down the proteins and makes a more tender turkey.

It’s Time for us all to get healthier
Today I am inspired to write a blog on something healthy. The reason I am so inspired is that this weekend, here at the Phoenix Expo Center, we hosted the Women’s Living Expo. There were tons of booths displaying lots of interesting businesses. But one thing that caught my eye was the number of booths that were showing healthy foods and or ways to lose weight.

Fourth of July cocktails
The fourth of July is already upon us, so I thought I would break out some recipes and ideas for festive Independence Day Cocktails. The weather is hot and being at the pool will be a great way to spend part of the day, and having a refreshing frozen cocktail that will last a long time makes everything that much better.

The Barbecue Story
Barbecue is an art. It is not the type of food that you follow recipes too close. It is more about technique.
First off, there is a big difference between food that is “Smoked” or “ Barbecued “ , and food that is “Grilled. “

Memorial Weekend Cookout Tips for Burgers
This weekend is Memorial Weekend, which is one of the biggest cookout days of the year. I always cook my “Now Famous “Memorial Burgers, which have gained quite a reputation over the years.
The first thing to do is to buy a good 80/20 ratio ground chuck. This tells you the fat to meat ratio. 80/20 is the best to use for a cookout. If it is any leaner it just won’t have enough flavors, and if it is fattier, such as 70/30 then it shrinks too much and even falls apart.
