Coca-Cola Garlic Chicken Wings

Staying at home makes me become a chef. From time to time they ask me to cook something to eat. I have to be creative to make every meal enjoyable with less leftovers. So I find ways to twist recipes and make it interesting.

My daughter has gotten me to crave wraps with avocado, which is a heart healthy food to include in your diet. She found some gluten-free wraps at our local grocery store. I had never eaten a wrap before, that I could remember. To me, a wrap is something you throw around your shoulders.

Do not hesitate to stock up on corn when there is a sale. Corn can be frozen, in the husks, in a pillowcase. Load up the pillowcase, fold the top over so it is closed, and place in the freezer. It will stay as fresh as the day it was picked.

Sometimes the best homemade teas don't involve steeping dried tea leaves. This version uses fresh slices of fruit, cinnamon and rose petals. It's quick and easy, and it tastes and smells absolutely divine.

This is the best corn bread recipe I've made. It comes from an old cookbook published by the Northern Cherokee Nation. I grew up eating it with a drizzle of honey, but it's equally good served warm with butter!

I love saving money, as I'm sure most of you do. You buy in bulk at the market when specials are on. Well, I look at what's on sale, make a menu, then have the butcher cut my meat up to my specs.

I always have garlic powder, onion powder and lemon pepper on my fried potatoes. It occurred to me today to mix them up in equal parts and put them in their own shaker. This is pretty much what I do with cinnamon and nutmeg for my Chai tea, so why not!

What are some uses for bacon grease? We like to put a little in green beans, especially fresh picked ones.
