Winter is the season of comfort foods. In Malta, New York it’s cold and cloudy with a constant threat of snow, perfect weather for food that will ‘stick to your ribs.’ However, what a lot of families, and eaters, seem to overlook is the abundance of seasonal vegetables that are available in late winter. Winter vegetables, like kale, cauliflower, or cabbage, usually are high in starch, dense, and have a bitter taste. They tend to be the perfect additive to your dinner after a hard day of shopping in Saratoga Spring or hiking around the many parks around in the area.

When considering a new home after your children have moved on to college or new jobs, or if you no longer need all the space in your current home, there are a few standout items you’ll want to consider.

Hot summers and grilling are synonymous with backyard entertaining. Longer periods of sunlight and warmer temperatures make a summer backyard BBQ as American as apple pie. Tradition dictates that BBQs are all about grilling meat.  Who doesn’t love a good piece of grilled chicken or a juicy hamburger?  However, it is truly the quality of the side dishes that separates a decent BBQ from a memorable one.

During the summer season, the warming temperatures, the bright blue skies, and sun shiny days are drawing people outside and into their backyards. However, why should enjoying the great outdoors, be considered roughing it? Shouldn’t the space be as comfortable and ideally primed for entertaining as the indoor living areas?

Where do most homeowners spend their time when inside their house? General consensus would probably suggest the kitchen or living room. However, the answer is quite surprising, it's the bedroom. This makes sense, particularly when considering the amount of hours we spend sleeping at night.
