Okay, I admit it. I am in love with those 10 for $10 deals at the supermarket. I’ve found myself saying on more than one occasion, “I’m sure I’ll need 10 cans of olives sometime or another.”I used to think my family was unnecessarily strategic for having such a well-stocked pantry (Who can think ahead like that?)…until I moved to college and realized the benefits. Since then, I’ve followed in my family’s footsteps and prided myself on having enough food for when I’m feeling creative in the kitchen. When ...

When first diagnosed with diabetes, where do you start? Overwhelming, I know. When you come back to reality, you think, "How will I cope? What will I eat?" As I was compiling the first Betty Crocker Diabetes Cookbook, I met a woman who'd been diagnosed with diabetes at 10 years of age, over 40 years ago.

I recently taught a series of healthy cooking classes to employees. A favorite topic was "Cooking from Your Pantry". The idea is that if you keep your pantry well-stocked, including refrigerator and freezer, you'll be able to whip up recipes in minutes, plus these pantry recipes can be served in a variety of ways. This in itself can be a real time-saver, can possibly be part of a dinner for another night. I'm always looking for those short-cuts.
