Wine For Wedding Season!

A sparkling, red & white and everybody’s happy when tying the knot. That’s exactly what Ralph my ‘Wine Guy’ and I decided on for our wines to watch for in June at H-E-B!

H-E-B - Cooking Connections - Deviled Eggs

‘Egg-cited’ for National Egg Month!

Comfort food is so the latest buzz again, and deviled eggs have reemerged as a classic family recipe you’ll find on many fine dining menus as of late! Perfect for your next big bash, or just to snack on at home – I can’t get enough of them. Cooking Connections brings things together nicely with their southern smoked salmon rendition.

Wines for Mom all month long!

Most mothers I know deserve more than just one day per year for some extra love and attention. Red or white, H-E-B has you covered in the vino department. The Pinot Grigio by Riondo is a lovely Italian white — light and crisp with hints of honey and lemon — at just as lovely of a price point: $10! I hear it’s a real charm with snapper

$5 Dinners for a Family of Four!

Good advice rarely goes unappreciated. That’s exactly what I received from Erin Chase, the ‘$5 Dinner Mom’ and founder of 5dollardinners.com. Erin has been an honorary guest on programs like Rachel Ray and The View, so I think she knows a thing or two!
