    Can it be done? Can one person drive straight through from Minnesota to Bowling Green, Kentucky in one day? It’s nearly a 12-hour drive without any hiccups.  That’s a long drive. But I did it!

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. Urban Accents has a grilling gift set, filled with a variety of rubs and seasonings.  As I was going through the spices I noticed the labels. Each label tells you what will go best with it. 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.

Soon you stumble upon an ancient opening to the land of the dinosaurs. Right there at the entrance is your very first ...

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 ...
