What would Taco Week be without a margarita in hand! We think it's a perfect way to celebrate the end of the week. The margarita was invented between 1938 and 1948. There were many tales as to the origination of the drink; but for sure, it was concocted by an ingenious Latino bartender! Try our easy Classic Margarita Recipe and share some pics of your creation below:

On today's healthy menu is a main dish and a side. The main feature is Grilled Salmon - with BBQ Salmon Rub or Grilled Salmon Seasoning, and it's sidekick is Grilled Asparagus. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and decrease risk factors for disease. Consuming at least two servings of salmon per week can help meet your omega-3 fatty acid needs. Try these delicious recipes, then share your results with us:

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. It happens here too. Ohio has one of the highest rates of human trafficking in the USA. With Ohio being geographically centrally located in the U.S. and having multiple interstate highways crisscrossing the state with truck stops, it unfortunately makes Ohio a perfect location for human trafficking. We are proud to donate our profits to the Renee Jones Empowerment Center
to aid in the fight against human trafficking.
For information on the Empowerment Center:

What's Valentine's Day without dessert and chocolate🍫? People are always scurrying to the stores looking for that gift to give on Valentine's Day that proclaims their love.

When you hear the word ratatouille, certain things come to mind: French, romance, and a certain chef rat 😁! However, ratatouille is a French casserole made of zucchini, eggplant bell peppers with a herby tomato sauce. Since it conveys the imagery of French and romance, it's on our list of Valentine delectable recipes to turn up the heat in the kitchen on VDay ❤️. Obviously we recommend enjoying it while watching the throwback movie featuring the same name 😊. The movie Ratatouille is not just about food, but it's also a sweet love story.
