Butter… It’s a noun, it’s a verb, and here in the south.. it’s life! I like to make my own. It’s easy and it is better for you… because you know exactly what is in it … it keeps for a month and it’s just as inexpensive as store bought. Try it once and you’ll […]

There are so many strawberry farms near us, its easy to get […]
Well, my favorite two fruits are strawberries and lemons, so this pie was a no brainer. It had to be done, there was no way around it. The flavor combination is outstanding and superb for Summertime gatherings, or, eating alone, in your pantry, in the dark. No judgement here. Now, if you are looking for […]

Whether you pronounce it pee-can, pah-kahn or even pee-kahn ( a lovely combination of the two) it’s still good! We have 3 pecan trees on our property and they all had a good season. We have eaten some, given some away and even shared with the squirrels. Whole lotta love around here… I am not […]
09/02/201609/03/20161 Comment I am very frugal, wasting food is one of my biggest pet peeves. How many peeves are we allowed? Is there a limit, cause I have several… you can get back to me on that one. So I had these hoagies that were on sale, and I told everyone…”make your sammichs with these, […]

With the rim of a glass, press a hole in the center of the slice of bread and gently twist. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in the butter. When the butter is all melted and evenly spread out, place the piece of bread in the skillet and crack the egg straight into […]
Vegetable beef soup is so comforting and so good. It’s easy to make and very forgiving if you add too much of this or this or not enough of that. I am loving these cooler temps and the chance to make more comforting meals for this crazy family. Yeah, we are crazy, there may even […]

Every Mexican restaurant between Colorado and North Carolina has been the same, by way of ordering I mean…. like so: Hubbyman: Steak Fajitas – The Kid: Taco Salad Bowl – Me: Chili Rellenos It never changes, even when I say…. I WILL have something new, I will […]
Summer’s Bounty! There is nothing like fresh Basil. You wither like it or don’t… Hubbyman falls into the “Don’t” category and I fall into the “LOVE” category! I love to make up fresh pesto when I get a harvest of Basil.. however this batch is from a local farm about a mile away, Simpson’s®.I wasn’t […]
I love egg salad, I probably do not make it as often as I should… cause it is a huge success every time. I did a bit of meal prep on Sunday and some on Monday for the week, and I decided it had been far too long since we had this yummy delight. The […]
