What is the hardest part of cooking a holiday meal for you?
Coming up with a menu for a holiday meal is the hardest part for me.

If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping. Bread Machine Hamburger Buns These...
Hello Friends, I hope your summer (or winter, to my southern hemisphere friends) is off to a good start. After taking a break and a nice vacation, I came home with a rip-roaring case of acute bronchitis. This isn't my first go-around with the stuff, but it's been a while, and I forgot how long it takes to get over the coughing. Thankfully, I'm on the mend. Reader Question: Can I substitute oil for butter in a yeast bread recipe? Substitutions can be challenging. Since I can't test for every...
