Checking The Accuracy Of Your Oven Temperature It’s turkey time and it is always the time of year that I ask my readers about checking the accuracy of your oven temperature. This is something a lot of people never think to do. It is very important because an oven that under heats or over heats, can ruin the recipe you are trying to make.

All opinions are mine alone. #GreatTeamEasyClean I have been spending a lot of time up north in Michigan this Summer at our second home. This has been great for me and the dogs, but hard on Mister Tipsy because he has to stay back in Chicago and work.

I stayed close to home, checked out some, “new to me” places in my neighborhood, planted some flowers for my boss and of course spent the day with Original Tipsy last Sunday for Mother’s Day. Read through for a recap of my week including some great recipes I made and some new “Tipsy Approved” recommendations. Sunday Mother’s Day! Original Tipsy and I spend a lot of time together so we usually don’t feel the need to go over the top on Mother’s Day, plus we were going to the restaurant show later in…
