When it comes to grilling out, nothing beats hot dogs and hamburgers, but sometimes you need to kick it up a notch.

That’s where a good marinade comes in.

Marinades are a great way to add spice and flavor before grilling. 

You can also make the most of an inexpensive cut of meat with a marinade by turning cheap choice into prime steak.

There are tons of store-bought varieties, but you can save money by easily preparing your own from scratch.

Opinions and advice on how to achieve good health or overcome health problems are a “dime-a-dozen” nearly everywhere.
But it means a lot more to hear a personal story from someone you know, who’s succeeded in achieving better health.

From the outside, French toast – bread soaked in an egg batter and cooked golden brown in a skillet or on a griddle – appears to be a hearty breakfast treat fit for a king.

However, nothing could be farther from the truth. It was created as a way to rescue stale bread so nothing went to waste.

This year, about 200 million boxes of Girl Scout cookies will be sold and eaten. 

That includes the 200 boxes that graced our dining room table sold by Betty Jo.

The Lancaster area Girl Scouts are part of the 22-county Mountains to the Midlands Girl Scout Council. These enterprising young ladies hope to sell 143,000 cases of cookies.
