Hello Readers,

I’m getting better after my hospital stay. Don’t forget that my contest is still going on.

I’m slowly getting back to normal (whatever that is lots of laughs.) after having surgery and being pretty sick. I’m working on some recipes for my new book and my blog.

I have loved preparing food since I have been a little girl. I started out cooking for my siblings while my parents were busy working. It gave me the chance to experiment in the kitchen. I have learned to make meals for my siblings out little to nothing. I was the big sister so I felt the pressure to prepare delicious food for my siblings. I spent a lot of time creating casseroles for my siblings and me. There is nothing better than enjoying a weekend away from life. I have always had a weakness for an Italian Culinary Weekend especially spaghetti and lasagna. A weekend away in Branson would offer me a chance to try something new. The music and food brings music to my stomach.The shopping sounds so relaxing too.  I have my own way of preparing both dishes, but every cook needs a break from life. And every cook has their own way of cooking. I enjoy trying out different restaurants all over town. It’s nice to find inspiration from other people’s cooking. It gives me that extra push to keep on cooking in my own kitchen. I have learned a lot of my cooking skills from my Mother and both of my Grandmothers. One of them made a delicious pot of chicken and noodles and the other made savory cabbage roll. Both recipes I have created my own twist to the recipes.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.

Finding the best way to eat healthy is not easy. Most people struggle just to get food on the table let alone eat healthy. It is so much easier to pick up snickers candy bar, hoho sweet treat or a can of soda pop. Some people who have attempted to eat healthy do not know where to start so they just give up. Finding a plan like jenny craig could be a way to attempt to change your diet habits which involves a lifestyle change too. Changing your diet involves a lot of discipline and strength. But if you have the will to persevere you will make it. Even if you fall behind does not mean you have failed at your goal of eating healthier. You do not have to wait until 2011 to start a healthier diet, you can do it today. If you are not ready to do a total change today you could change the diet habits of one meal then gradually move on to other meals. Actually, doing things gradually might work better for a lot people as most of us do not like change. It might be that we are afraid of change or it might be that we really do not want to change, but if it is important we need to follow through. A change of diet might be eating more fruits and vegetables or it might be leaving the cans of soda pop in the dust. However, you decide to try things all that matters is you try and it is okay if you do not try today. It might not be the day to make those changes for you.

Finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list does not have to be difficult. Knock one of the names off your list, by purchasing the cook in your life something for the kitchen. Last year, my Mother purchased me a new cookware set. The set is a red nonstick with glass lids that you can see through. The glass lids make it easier for me to watch the food when it is cooking. I do not have to take the glass lids off the pots or pans, so I do not have to interrupt the cooking. Because the cookware is nonstick the clean up time is greatly reduced. If you are looking to finish off some of your Holiday shopping Stud Box has an extensive line of Dining/Kitchen products and the site is easy to navigate. They have a nice set of cookware similar to the one I received for Christmas last year. The set has 10 pieces including 2 saucepans, 1 stockpot, 2 skillets, 1 sauté pan and 4 glass lids. The cookware sets come in multiple colors and stainless steel. The sets come with a lifetime warranty which gives you piece of mind for your purchase. Studbox has a excellent deal on Paula Deen Signature 11 piece cookware set for the low price of 119.00 dollars as of today.  The set includes 2 covered saucepans, 1 stockpot, 3 open skillets, glass lids, one slotted spoon and one spatula. If you are looking for something else for the kitchen they have an assortment of kitchen/dining products for your holiday shopping. For the coffee and tea lover in your life they have tea kettles, espresso machines and a bean press coffee maker. They have kitchen utensils such as cutlery, baking utensils, baking pans, and numerous other kitchen products. This year I’m hoping to get a stainless steel microwave because my microwave is not warming up the first time. I usually have to warm my food up twice in my microwave. If I do not get a microwave I’ll be happy with anything for the kitchen.

Get out your dancing shoes and boogie on out with this soup. It’s a little bit of 70′s and a lot of 80′s to bring a modern twist to the Reuben sandwich.
