Nothing is more diverse among the worldwide community of man than his diet. What is considered a delicacy in some parts of the w... continue reading...

Ah, summertime. Time for grillin' and chillin'.
Actually, at the Enderland house, that statement is true in winter, too. That's how much we love grilled food.
It's healthy, too. The fat is kept to a minimum. And while there is some question about the hea... continue reading...

Man, I LOOOOOOOOOVE to cook! Around my house, I do 75% of the cooking. That's MY idea, not Briana's!
So it's natural that today's FamilyFirst site is cooking-related. It's called Wacky Recipes.

I LOVE sushi! I got introduced to it by a coworker in 2002, and I was instantly hooked! While I have tried every type of sushi I can find, I also know there's a bunch that I haven't. But every type I've tried I've loved!
Today's FamilyFirst site celebrates sushi and sashimi. It's called The Sush... continue reading...

I just finished a big bowl of my special homemade chili. So what better choice for today's FamilyFirst site than Chili!
My wife and I make our own versions of chili, and of course we both think ours is superior to the other's! Briana prefers lots of tomato sauce and lots of beans. Me, I like pure lean g... continue reading...
