Starting the New Year Off on the Right Track

Those who know me well know that I love to cook. So, as the craziness of the Christmas and New Years holidays wind down, we begin to see lots of “Best of . . .” and “Year in Review” lists. I saw one this morning that made me smile. I particularly like this list because I not only agree with it, but I am proud to say that I am 10 for 10! Okay, not exactly 10 for 10, but 10 for 10 in terms of owning a similar product!
