My motivation for creating this round-up initially was my grandkids. I have 3 of them coming to stay with me this weekend and I was trying to find something fast and fun to make for them for breakfast. Once I started searching, I thought about how nice it would be to have some of these amazing recipes when my kids were little and I was rushing around on a busy school morning trying to get them to eat something.

One of my favorite things about summer and barbecues — especially potlucks — is the variety of salads you run across. My family prefers either potato salad or tuna salad so I don’t usually make any others. My favorite, however, is this Oriental Coleslaw. I rarely make it, but that is okay because it makes it extra special when I do!
This salad comes together quickly and I love all of the different flavors and textures. While it is perfectly fine to make the salad and serve it the same day, my personal opinion is that it tastes better the second day.

Before I tried this for myself, I would have never associated the word simple with barbecued ribs and now this is the only way I will ever make them. This was my first attempt at making a rack of ribs… I will admit that the thought of cooking them intimidated me so I never bothered even glancing their way at the grocery store or butcher shop. What changed my mind? Free meat!
I guess technically it wasn’t free meat, I bought a $1 meat raffle ticket and was the lucky winner of this lovely rack. All of a sudden I was excited to experiment with this cut of meat that had previously made me nervous. Who ares if I make a mess of free meat?

You can think I am strange if you like, but I will freely admit I love binders and am always looking for excuses to buy more binders. It doesn’t matter the size or the color, I want them all!
I’m a bit of an organizing freak… I cannot walk down an aisle at any store that has containers, binders, or bins without being tempted to put at least one item in my cart. I have so many of these items that are sitting empty at home that I am always looking for more ways to use them. After all, if I have a reason to use them, I have an excuse to buy more.
