    Foodie Heaven at Lowes Foods

    November 4, 2016

    Based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Lowes Foods  opened their first location in the Upstate of South Carolina in late September.  I finally visited a couple of weeks ago and boy, was I amazed. Visiting a Lowes Foods is not a normal trip to the grocery store, be prepared to spend most of the afternoon pursuing isles and isles of typical grocery store chain fair, but the additional amenities are what makes this supermarket stand out from the rest. Extra Amenities at Lowes Foods   I usually only cook for two people and my husband hates leftovers, which proves to be difficult when buying produce.  Many produce options at Lowes Foods…

    Using a Camper Microwave-Convection Oven

    August 4, 2016

    What is a microwave-convection oven Installed frequently in recreational vehicles, it is a combination of a regular convection oven with a microwave.  Users are able to use the quick interior cooking of microwaves combined with the surface browning of hot air.  Convection cooking allows for the interior cooking of a traditional oven, just hotter and faster. Convection oven technology uses a fan to force air movement and heat up the full interior of the microwave to cook food from the inside out. That’s why you can use convection microwaves to bake and roast things that would otherwise be cooked too quickly (and not thoroughly) with just a regular microwave.  The…

    Products I Love: Ancient Harvest

    April 20, 2016

    My husband and I love to eat pasta at least one night a week.  I am always searching for more healthy pasta options.  Recently, while eating lunch at  THE SWAMP RABBIT CAFE,  I stumbled upon Ancient Harvest.  After preparing it for dinner, we are searching for all their products. Ancient Harvest: Pasta Several pasta shapes were available, I picked up penne and spaghetti.  As a certified NON-GMO product, the ingredients are simple, corn, flour and quinoa flour. Much has been made of QUINOA and its health benefits.   Relativity new to the American market, quinoa was a staple food of the ancient Incas.  Quinoa is called a SUPER-GRAIN OF THE FUTURE…
