Real Mayonnaise is not white. Mayonnaise is most often made from egg yolks, oil, lemon juice, and mustard. None of which is white. Then, what is that in the grocery store that is white as snow? Companies are required to tell us the ingredients (though they are often coded), but not the processing procedures. Just...
This is called a Kale Chip Recipe, but there’s really not much recipe to it. It’s so easy that kids can put it together. Mine felt very much in charge as they washed, ripped, and tossed the kale in olive oil. Initially, it is understandable as a kid to not want to try something like...

Oven baked fried chicken and roasted potatoes make a great dinner combination. The oven baked fried chicken creates a great flavor with minimal effort. Also, the texture of the breading is softer than it would be if it were just fried. The roasted potatoes are a family favorite that ranks way up there on the...
I call these the ultimate earthquake cookies because they have double the chocolatey goodness by being a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips. They also have a double sugar coating too, being rolled in granulated sugar and then in confectioner’s sugar. So yes, these sugar bombs are sugar filled! We have them around Christmas when we...
