Good morning! This weekend we attended the 2016 St. Louis Air Show. It was quite a show!!! Wow! All the planes, helicopters and jets you could want. Here are some of my favorite photographs I took at the show. I shot these with a Nikon D7100 55-200mm lens. Why use that camera? It isn’t …

Entire cookbooks are dedicated just to this one ingredient! Today my friends, we take it up another notch. Another reason to consider making homemade peanut …
Good morning everyone! It was a little disappointing this morning after yesterday’s beautiful “hamster sized snowflakes” fell from the sky. But, this smoothie will make up for that!
