Over the next three days, my mom and her trusty sidekick, Kerry, will prepare food for over 550 people. That isn’t unusual for them. They can crank out food more than that old guy from Tennessee who had that cooking show on PBS when I was a kid. I don’t remember his name, but he […]

We had a strange morning in our neck of the woods. Several students from our district decided to antagonize police officers through an app called Yik Yak. Ultimately, this event ended in my children staying home from school after it was cancelled for the day. Being a nice mom, I made them get out of […]

One of our good friends told us about a commercial kitchen that was getting demoed. They were planning to just throw away lots of great kitchen equipment, so he invited us to take a peak at it in case we wanted some of it. The kitchen had not been in use for about five years, […]
Last year, my mom decided she wanted to have a Bake Sale. She enjoys spending time in her kitchen and golfers, wedding guests, and family enjoy eating what she makes. She’s been making homemade cinnamon rolls for years. When I saw a small girl, she used to make four dozen every morning to sell at […]
Back in the spring, mom and I made our way up to Ankeny to check out Sysco’s new test kitchen. They had a show while we were there and even made us our very own sandwiches! Our main purpose this spring was to taste our way to the best burger we could find for our […]
