Happy National Donut Day! 🍩 Did you know this delicious day started in 1938 to honor The Salvation Army volunteers who served donuts to soldiers during World War I? It's a perfect opportunity to enjoy and learn about the history of these tasty treats with your kids. Try decorating donuts at home to explore shapes, colors, and counting! Simple Donut-Making Ideas with Kids: 1. Biscuit Donuts: Use canned biscuit dough, cut out the centers, and fry them up. Let the kids decorate with icing and sprinkles. 2. Air Fryer Donuts: Make a healthier version using an air fryer. Top with powdered sugar or cinnamon. 3. No-Bake Donuts: Use pre-made donut holes, dip them in melted chocolate, and add toppings like nuts or coconut flakes. #nationaldonutday #nationaldonutday2024 #donuts #donutsfordays

"Remember -- your love for bacon can make a big difference!" Funny, but true. There is a serious side to this too. The Walworth County Food and Diaper Bank is a great organization, and symbolic of many which are responding to food insecurity in our communities. In our particular case our Bank serves, at some point during the year, about 5 percent of our county's population - distributing $5M of food across 16,000+ guest encounters. All of this is made possible by roughly 120 volunteers whose work seems never ending. Those we serve are primarily referred to as ALICE (asset-limited, income-constrained, and employed). In other words, neighbors in situations where one car repair, medical bill, or unexpected expense can force a difficult decision about food. A full 40 percent of those we serve in a year come only once. 70 percent receive food from us four times or less in a year. In our county, and probably yours too, up to 35 percent of our residents fall into the ALICE classification. Those are really staggering numbers when you think about them. And food for thought as well (sorry). If all those numbers seem daunting, come and celebrate some bacon with us! 😁 #foodinsecurity #foodbank #neighborshelpingneighbors

Is your kitchen feeling more crowded than a gourmet food market on a Saturday? Let's simplify! Start by rummaging through every cabinet, drawer, and pantry nook. Toss what's expired or broken, and bid farewell to the gadgets you haven't touched since last spring. Clear containers or chic baskets? That's your next move for a Pinterest-worthy pantry. And those extra six spatulas? It's time to donate, discard, or deal them away. Your reward: a kitchen that's as inviting as the aroma of fresh coffee on a Sunday morning. It's not just decluttering; it's reclaiming your space! #denverrealtor #buydenver #selldenver #leasedenver #pueblorealtor #buypueblo #sellpueblo #buypueblowest #sellpueblowest #realestate #realtor #goals #sorellarealestate #leasepueblo #leasepueblowest #leasedenver

🥜 Many food donation centers hand out peanut butter as one of their main staples for food insecure individuals. Why? ✔️Affordable ✔️High Protein ✔️Variety of Use Thanks to leaders such as Monica Bassett of Stronghold Food Pantry, our food insecure MilVet community is able to receive donations like peanut butter. Below is another episode in my Hellman's Kitchen Budget Friendly series, which is part of the mission being led by Jordan J. Foley of Let’s Chow. The idea is to teach those receiving food donations to use those ingredients wisely, in order to stretch the food as much as possible. 👇 Watch the episode below, give the video a like, and throw in a supportive comment. This drastically helps increase the reach of this episode, which hopefully will help more people learn to cook budget friendly recipes. #militaryfoodinsecurity #militaryleadership #veteransupport #cookingrecipes

Friends, as you know, I enjoy cooking for company events, charitable events, and of course, family and friends.   If you are not from Louisiana, Maryland, or New Jersey, you might have never been invited to a real "crab boil", that is a Blue Crab boil.   If you are invited to one, these are the rules you should abide by so make sure you study the Ten Commandments of Eating Blue Crab:   #1 When buying crabs, order mediums when you’re having guests over. Order larges for you and your better half. Order jumbos when ain’t nobody within 500 feet. And smalls are just rude... we don’t do dat! #2 Every picking style is both right and wrong. Legs first? Apron first? Butter knife? Mallet? Vinegar? Save your claws to the end? Just don’t wear a baby bib... we don’t do dat! #3 Once you touch a crab, IT'S YOURS. None of this weighing-each-crab-with-your-hand stuff... #4 With pizza, everyone gets the same number of slices. But with crabs, it’s like: 3...2...1...EVERYONE EATS AS MANY CRABS AS YOU CAN AND SCREW THOSE SLOW EATERS!! #5 You’re being monitored. By everyone. Not cleaning your crab completely? You’ll get called out. Not eating your claws? You won’t be invited back... #6 Don’t dare ask anyone to pick a crab for you. You pick crabs for yourself. If you’re a newbie, we’ll teach you ONCE, so pay attention. If you pull off a meaty backfin, show it off! If you cut yourself, keep eating. No tears... we don’t do dat... #7 If you leave the table to wash your hands, you become everyone’s personal slave until you’re back. Take orders, clear shells, get hair ties. Grab me another beer, etc... dat’s how it works... #8 Crabs are just an appetizer. Three hours of snacks before you fire up the grill. Have some corn, shrimp, tomatoes, and Zapp’s in the meantime... dats how we do it... #9 The last man/mom standing at the table gets bragging rights. “You guys done already?” she asks... show her some respect and clean up after the last one standing... dats how we do it... #10 If you’re invited to a crab feast, that means you’re special. We don’t just invite anybody over. It’s love. Be sure to say, “Good crabs!” or “Really full!” or “Lots of mustard!” even when they’re crap... dats just how we do it...   Most of all...“Laissez les bon temps rouler!”   Jack, did we miss anything?
