No-roll biscuits (shaped by hand, not a rolling pin) offer a more appealing texture. Also, bake with the edges touching, forcing them to rise instead of spread out. Golden brown, they will be ooh-la-la! Tasty!



At your next potluck gathering, instead of one more pasta dish or dessert, show up with reusable containers for guests to carry home leftovers! Guests will be excited and leftovers will be a thing of the past!


Before you fire up that fireplace, it's time to check for chimney chips or cracks, both inside and outside. If you have doors on your wood burner, inspect any gaskets or seals. Don't want to look like a chimney sweep (remember Mary Poppins with Dick Van Dyke)? Call a local professional. Soot buildup will be a thing of the past, and you'll enjoy your fireplace in safety!


Otherwise known as Halloween. Many areas have fall festivals, but you can still trick-or-treat if you're careful. Go early, carry flashlights, and stay with your kiddos. Afterward, inspect their treats to ensure you approve and they are in the original, sealed packaging. Then, enjoy!


With the fall season ramping up, small snafus will try to steal your sanity, your calm, and your serenity. Don't let small snafus become roadblocks to your health and success. Slow down for a moment, have a fresh cup of coffee or tea on the back porch, and breathe in the cool fall air. Refreshing, right? Now decide what to worry about and what to let go. There, you're feeling better already!
