Storing Non-fat Dry Milk
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the milk, dry packed in 2003 (19 years ago), was still good. It was still a good color and it smelled fresh.
Vegetarian Pot Pie
This is a very satisfying and filling pie even though there is no meat in it. White beans, mushrooms, potatoes, mushroom soup, seasonings.
May is National Salsa Month
This is my favorite salsa. It’s easy to make especially when you chop and freeze the peppers and onions in season. Canned tomatoes save the tomato prep time.
