Maintaining The Sharpness of Your Knives

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

Did you know the importance of maintaining the sharpness of your knife on a steel?

Every time you use your knife, the microscopic teeth get bent. So it’s crucial to use the steel, in order to straighten those tiny little teeth.

There’s a […]

I must confess that I am not a bean lover. It’s definitely a texture thing. I could gladly eat green beans any day, but when it comes to navy or kidney or (God forbid) lima, I nearly gag at the thought of it.

I […]

Grow Your Own Stevia Plant

By Sherry K, on May 22nd, 2012

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

Cheesy Rotini with Sausage, Cabbage and Apple

We’ve had roofers here all week, and I am about to go bonkers. Between the pounding on the roof, and the dogs barking at the pounding on the roof, I feel I may very well go insane (or hard of hearing–at the very least). So I need comfort, and what better comfort than […]

Lemon Zest

By Sherry K, on May 8th, 2012

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday! I can’t describe the feeling I get when I taste a dish that includes fresh lemon zest. It’s like a bright ray of sunshine on my tongue. It’s one of the happiest flavors ever. But I don’t always have fresh lemons in the house. So whenever I get a bag of […]
