I come from a family of meat eaters. Okay, maybe pack is a better word than family. We include meat as preference for holiday gifts. We drive hours to rendezvous with the “meat fairy” during hunting season. The idea of vegetarianism has only been explored by one black sheep and to tell you the truth – I know she doesn’t stick to it. We’re a hardwired bunch. She’s sneaking bacon at the very least.

Pick up a new vice and get addicted to fresh citrus juice.
Now that summer has hit, margaritas are singing their siren song and I have a new love. The Amco Houseworks bright citrus squeezer from Utensils of Mexico. It comes in yellow (for lemons, duh) and green (that’s right, you guessed it -lime green) with a ceramic coating cleans like a breeze and manages to work only my thumb more than expected.

Tired of the same old homogenized Ozzie and Harriet cooking show? Well then “Cookin With Coolio” may be just what the doctor ordered. A cross between Rachel Ray and Thug Life. This show is nothing if not interesting although his assistant/sidekick kind of creeps me out. In this episode Coolio is showing us how to make spinach that even kids like.
