A great way to get kids to eat fruits and veggies is to cut them into sticks and dip. And dips are so easy, even I can do it! Sneaky secret – when I worked at a deli and made those fancy fruit plates, we made loads of fluffy strawberry dip. People would ask for [...]

I love sloppy joes in summer. It cooks up quickly on the stovetop, no oven needed and doesn’t take long either. It goes well with summertime side dishes such as coleslaw. Total cost per plate – 87 cents! I forgot to take a pic of the finished product – I was too busy shoving it [...]
