Grill Like a Master with Urban Accents

When it comes to dinner time, everyone looks to me. I am the one who does all the grilling, cooking and baking. Over the years I have learned having fresh spices makes a significant difference, especially when grilling.

I have never seen this before. When I first started grilling I would have loved to have ...

Dinosaurs at the Minnesota Zoo

Minnesota Zoo

Head over to the Minnesota Zoo and travel back in time. Back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The kids and I took the journey and here's what we saw. The walk is long.

Never Scrub a Pan Again

Copper Chef Square Pan

I love to cook. I love to try out new recipes. But I HATE doing dishes. I hate soaking a pan and then scrubbing it and then repeating the process until it's finally clean. Nothing is a bigger demotivator than thinking about the clean up. With Copper Chef you'll never spend the night scrubbing a pan again. NEVER. I've been using the Copper Chef pan for a few weeks now and I am extremely impressed. With other pans, I need to add oil or butter to help prevent the food from sticking to the pan. I ...
