3 Steps to Getting the Best Customized Healthcare Plan for Your Aging Parent

Health insurance becomes increasingly important as we age. The most fortunate among us may be able to make it through our prime years without much beyond preventative care and a few smaller procedures or scares.  But by the time you start approaching senior status, you will likely be taking more trips to the doctor's office and requiring additional treatments and prescriptions. Medicare serves as a savior for many. It provides vital, life-improving coverage and the options — including ...

Pineapple Apricot Glazed Ham

While cooking a ham may seem intimidating or stressful it really is not. Unlike Turkey, ham is very forgiving. But the key to a mouthwatering ham is the glaze. The glaze really makes the ham, giving it an extra punch of flavor and the caramelized crust.  Today, I'm going to share with you how I make this pineapple apricot glazed ham. While it does take a few hours to bake the ham, the last 45 minutes does require you to be attentive, basting the ham every 10 minutes to create the caramelized ...

Best Carrot Cake Recipe

This is by far the best carrot cake recipe I have ever made. With no oil or butter, it's not greasy at all. The carrot cake is extremely moist and literally melts in your mouth.  I personally, think it is best served chilled. If you serve it at room temperature it gets mushy and I'm not a fan of mushy cakes. This cake is completely from scratch but do not let that intimidate you, it's extremely easy to make. To recreate this delicious treat you'll need the following - For the carrot ...

Reese’s Pieces Miniature Cup Stuffed Brownies

Reese's Pieces Miniature Cup Stuffed Brownies

One of my favorite candies are Reese's Pieces and Peyton loves peanut butter cups so this looked like the perfect candy for our household. Then I had the brilliant idea to put it inside a brownie! And I'm glad I did. Through trial and error, I have a few tips for you. Use a brownie mix that is a brownie mix with no mix in. You don't want extra chocolate chips or mix-ins in the batter. Another tip is to let the brownies completely cool before you remove them from the pan. If you try to remove ...
