    Thank you, I work 4 long shifts and when I wake up I have about 30 min to spare to feed the family. This helps
  • Mama Mel your presentation on your salads 🥗 are outta this world ! They really do look magazine worthy, all your dishes do !! Feel proud ! You do a great job.

    MY FAVORITE KITCHEN TIP: When I have tomato paste left, I put it in heaping TBS dollops on a little saucer and flash freeze them in the freezer, throw them in a sandwich bag. Anytime you need a tablespoon of tomato paste grab it out of your sandwich bag and just throw it in your pot, it'll melt quickly 😉
