Twenty years ago I won a tiny little Christmas cactus at an office holiday party. It had pretty little buds on it that opened just a couple of days before Christmas. I still have that Christmas cactus only it’s not so tiny anymore. It has grown into a big, beautiful plant. And the bigger it […]
It takes a LOT to plan a Thanksgiving dinner. I get excited when I see all the bounty of fresh produce, meats, cheeses and breads I get to choose from at my local Copps grocery store. I know I will find everything I need to cook the perfect Thanksgiving dinner for my family and friends. […]

Thanksgiving is just three weeks away so now is a good time to start planning out your menu. Part of what makes Thanksgiving, well….Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest season and all the wonderful food that is a part of autumn.

In all my years growing up, the library was the place where silence was truly golden. These days children have no concept (except maybe church?) where quiet is the rule. Mind you, I […]

Lots of news stories this week noted how expensive Halloween costumes have gotten–you could pay upwards of $150 bucks for an Elsa if you wanted to—and although you probably got a more sophisticated look, it’s doubtful whether anyone got […]

Have you ever gone to the grocery store and seen a big, beautiful display of autumn squash that makes you want to buy several, except, you have no idea the name of each one or how to cook them, let alone how each one tastes? I have been there. Copps and Pick N Save know […]

Chicken is one of my favorite things to eat. It’s my go-to protein. I eat chicken almost every day BUT there are times when I get tired of eating it the same way (which is usually broiled with a little Italian seasoning). I don’t want to waste it but sometimes it’s hard to gulp down […]

I’ve never been that good at making homemade soups and stews. For as much as I love to cook I find my soups turn out watery and flavorless. Eventually, I just gave up trying to make them even though I love preparing them. Copps and Pick N Save are here to help me become a […]

Once you cook with and eat the freshest food available to you, it’s hard to go back to using processed food. And that’s why I love shopping at Copps and Pick N Save because it’s their commitment to provide the best local produce they can find. In fact Copps and Pick N Save sell more […]
