We will often have them on a Friday or Saturday evening when we are looking for a simple meal that requires minimal preparation and time. One of my favourite things about these is the ability to customize the sandwich to suit each person's individual tastes and wants. I am not a big meat eater, so I always make mine a "veggie" sub, my husband on the other hand is a meat lover, he always packs on … [Read more...]

Like many of you, the kitchen is the heart of our home. This is the place where our family spends the majority of our time.

The hustle, bustle and constant activity of the summer is just a fun memory. Fall brings with it not only beautiful days but home gardens and Farmer's Markets bursting … [Read more...]
