Image Credit:  Pexels Entertaining guests with a delicious home-cooked meal is a cheap way to get together and a great opportunity to experiment with some interesting ingredients. The joy of cooking is always in the play of texture and flavour, but sometimes it can take a lot of effort to produce. But instead of reaching for the takeaway menus  when you don’t have the time or energy to spend the afternoon in the kitchen, you should instead go for a simple one pot. With less washing up, and most of the cooking time requiring only a modest amount of attention, the humble one pot can provide flavour without much effort. What Do I Need to Make a One Pot Meal? To begin with, you need to make sure that you have what you need in the kitchen.

Proper Preparation For Your Trip On The Road

Image Source The majority of times you go away, it’s likely you fly. After all, you can’t exactly drive across oceans. What’s more, flying is the cheapest option available in many cases. And, it’s certainly the fastest way to travel long distances. Sometimes, though, we hit the road instead of the sky, and decide to drive to our location. It may be that you’re going on a city break , and driving makes more sense. Or, perhaps you’re going on a full-blown road trip, and the journey is the body of your vacation. Either way, going long distances in your car when you aren’t used to it can be daunting. It’s likely you’ve studied your route and tried to prepare stop-offs to keep you from drowsing behind the wheel. All important stuff, of course. But, with all these big plans, it’s easy to forget about the fundamental checks you need to make before leaving. Lucky for you, we’re going to remind you of them here. Basic maintenance It would be foolhardy to head off without doing a f

How to Get Your Yard and Garden Ready for Summer Fun

The Spring is an excellent time of year. Winter's harsh weather goes away and the new season brings moderate temperatures, sunshine, and new growth. During this season you can start living outdoors again. Spring is a good time to start working on your yard. Here are a few projects that can help you prepare your yard and garden for summer fun. 1. Control Pests  Garden pests, like  aphids , love new growth. If you see trees and plants with poorly formed or curled leaves, this is a sign of aphids. These pests usually target fruit trees, citrus trees, and roses. To remove aphids from your plants, wash the foliage frequently using a strong jet of water, to blast the aphids away. You can also use horticultural oil or insecticidal soap. If you want a more natural treatment, release ladybugs into your garden at dusk. If you have a problem with slugs and snails, you can bait them, or remove them by hand.  2. Prepare Flowerbeds Amend your planting bed soil with organ
