Your Can of Olives Won't Help a Food Bank But There Are Other Things That Will
So many of you volunteer at or donate to food banks that it’s incredibly heartwarming. I wrote an article about food banks and the need for donating money to them, and realized that some people thought I was engaging in shaming for saying that food banks don’t need things like your old cans of olives and water chestnuts.

Tips from a girl "learning to cook"
I remember always being teased growing up, because I hated cooking. I would always be the butt end of a joke because of course, me being the oldest girl in the family (I'm 27 now and still living at home), you would have expected me to be cooking meals just like momma, or grandma. I think what my problem was, was the fact that I always liked observing and sitting in on the conversation while my mom or Step-dad was cooking meals instead of being pushed to cook them. My step dad has been making these amazing meals ever since he got medically retired from a heart condition a few years back. He would always crack jokes about me burning food, or not knowing how to boil water, which was fine, I have a thick skin and I can handle a little criticism. But I don't think he realized that while I was conversing with him, I constantly took note of the things he was using to cook these meals.

A Gift From My Grandmother — Love of Baking
My grandmother loved baking and cooking for everyone in the family. I felt her love through food. She enjoyed cooking and enjoyed even more when we liked her cooking. She was an excellent cook, and her baking was also always magnificent.

National Eat Outside Day
Today's National Eat Outside Day, and I'm writing this sitting outside listening to the radio, waiting for the grill to get hot enough for me to make some firecracker turkey dogs I meal-prepped earlier in the week. This way, they'd have enough time to marinate in the sauce, and there'd be enough time for all the flavors to marry.

Pair of Pears Wine
Randy ran the local food coop. He specialized in organic food. He especially loved providing high-quality produce for his community. Every year when the harvest was ready Randy would drive hundreds of miles to the orchards on the Western Slope of Colorado to bring back wonderful boxes of organic peaches, pears, apricots, plums, and apples. Most of the members of the co-op preordered the fruit, but Randy always worried there wouldn’t be enough for everyone so he brought extra boxes home with him.

Industrial food and the healthcare industry
We all know that nutrition is essential for our day to day life. It is not a want but a need. Even though in some people end up buying a quantity of food they didn't really needed which ultimately gets wasted. But this could be a topic for another story.

12 Annoying Things That Ruin Coffee Shops
As someone who makes it a point to venture outside into the world for a caffeine fix on a near-daily basis, I happen to spend A LOT of time in cafes. I have my favorite go-to spots but also like to mix it up every once in a while and try someplace new. Who knows, it might end up winning its way into the coveted “favorites” list. In fact I am at a new specialty coffee shop as I write this and it inspired this article.

Why Everyone Should be a Foodie
Everyone should be a foodie. Food is a way to connect to people, a way to relate to people you otherwise wouldn’t interact with. Food, and an enjoyment of it, is one of the few universal things. Food allows you to understand the essence of a culture, a community, or a family. Food has drawn people together throughout the centuries and continues to do so in our ever-shrinking world. Being a foodie allows you to connect to a vast array of people who share the same passion as you and are always willing to try new things.
