With mouthwatering pasta dishes, and steaks served in Grandma’s secret sauce, you can really feel the love at Sibley Gardens in Trenton. Michelle Oliver takes us to Dine in the D at this restaurant that has been run by the same family for 4 generations.

Do you ever walk into a restaurant and wonder... what should I order? Perhaps the cuisine is new to you, and you don’t know where to start. Well, those kinds of questions are just what Chef Hajime Sato wants to answer at his new restaurant in Clawson, Sozai Sushi.

We should really be celebrating our moms all the time, but especially on Mother’s Day, it’s more important than ever.

Finding the right care for yourself or an aging loved one can be a challenge.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and there is no better year than this one to take a moment to acknowledge the moms in our lives and all that they do.

Ethel’s Baking Company just moved into a 19,000 square foot facility in Metro Detroit. The company creates dessert bars that can be found in many places you shop around town like the bakery section in Meijer, Whole Foods, and Plum Market and Fresh Thyme. According to Bommarito, Ethel’s Baking Company started in 2011 with the Pecan Dandy bar. The dessert bars harken back to a time when cooks like Bommarito’s grandmother took their time preparing food using wholesome ingredients. That is how Ethel’s bars are made today.

So Grandma Carr -- God rest her soul -- used to make these Christmas cookies that were so good they had to have been laced with some magic secret ingredient known only to her. I haven’t had a frosted shortbread cookie (with sprinkles) before or since that could touch her recipe. I can still picture that Thom McCann shoebox bursting open, cookies rolling asunder in all directions. “You want the cookies?” I shouted. Have the cookies!”Of course, 35 years later, if I had a time machine I would go back and eat those cookies right off the ground.

CNN Video(CNN) - With Independence Day drawing near, a recent tragedy and subsequent recall highlight the possible dangers of rockets and other explosives: Grandma's Fireworks in Indiana recalled 18 products, totaling 25,000 individual fireworks, after an explosion caused a boy to lose his hand, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said this week. The recalled fireworks are overloaded with pyrotechnics, which produce a loud noise and have been known to result in a greater than expected explosion. Overloading fireworks violates the federal regulatory standard for this product, according to the safety commission, which is charged with protecting public safety. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the fireworks, which were made in China and sold by Grandma's Fireworks from January 2009 through April. Chris Hannon, co-owner of Grandma's, told WLWT that she was "crushed" by the boys' injuries.
