Until a few months ago if you’d asked me if I liked balsamic vinegar I would have answered with a resounding, “yes.” My pantry hasn’t been without a bottle for years. But I recently learned there’s balsamic vinegar and then there’s balsamic vinegar. A few months ago a friend commented in an email something to…
The AAR staff will be doing another series of recipes for this blog, this time concentrating on dishes that help warm up the cold days of winter. Hopefully these recipes will work for you as well as they have worked for us. For my recipe, I’ve chosen a soup that has been a familiar winter…

I love my crock pot. There, I’ve said it. It might seem strange but next to the microwave this is my favorite kitchen appliance. It means I can run around all day and still do a decent job of feeding the family. Bellow is one of my favorite recipes from Taste of Home’s Crock Pot…
