This is a simple and colorful pie that children love to help make.  You can also switch out the berries, pick the Kool-Aid to match, and have a whole new recipe.  Try blueberries with grape, cherries with black cherry, or even raspberry with raspberry Kool-Aid.  Enjoy!

My husband and I are trying to eat more vegetarian meals and what better and easier way to serve them than to stir-fry vegetables in a wok.  It’s fast, low calorie, and keeps the nutrients inherent in the fresh veggies.  But the dishes can easily come out all tasting the same if you don’t flavor them with different sauces.  Here are five easy ones you can inexpensively make at home and save money on expensive store-bought brands.

There are so many convenience foods out there that we’ve lived with all our lives that we forget that we can make them ourselves, just as easy and for a fraction of the price. Jello, or flavored gelatin, is one of them. We are so used to buying the little square boxes that we don’t even think of homemade versions as being possible. But look how easy, cheap, and versatile it is to make Jello at home. And just in time for the holidays, too.

Caramel dipped apples are always a sign of the holidays, but the hot caramel can give you some bad finger burns if you’re not careful. This crock pot method for Caramel Apple Dip is both simple to make and safe. And it makes great tasting caramel!

Nothing is quite as spectacular as that delicious smelling, golden turkey being carried out on a platter. I remember growing up what a monumental task it was to cook the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner…or so I thought. It’s not as hard as I once thought…especially if you use a roasting bag. This is how my mom did it, how I do it, and maybe you’ll find it’ll become your tradition as well.  Give it a try and impress your family.
