The focus on this period is from the...

An appealing home exterior suggests the homeowner takes pride in his or her home and wants to make every effort to maintain that home. Curb appeal involves various components of a home's exterior, but beautiful landscaping can make a home stand out. While maintaining a lawn is s...

And since the recipe calls for turkey, the timing is perfect to use those Thanksgiving Day l...
The only problem having leftover ham after your holiday dinner is deciding which of several ways to use it for another delicious meal. My favorite use for bits of ham is on pizza, with pineapple of course. When I was growing up, my mother made ham and potato casserole to stretch the leftovers, layering slices of potato with small pieces of ham and a flour-based sauce and baking it in the oven. It was a lot of work for her, but we all loved eating it. For breakfast, choices...
