How lucky am I, to have honey readily available for drizzling on anything – in this case leftover cornbread, for breakfast? I know you want some too – who wouldn’t? Having an abundance of honey to use daily is one reason I am a bee keeper. If my meals don’t call for honey I simply […]
Back in the day, BK, (before kids) I could be found wiling away my time during the summer months preserving fruits and veggies. Such a simple procedure for such a delicious and worthy outcome. What is more wonderful than popping the sealed lid from a jar of home canned preserves, tomatoes, okra or green beans […]
All the fuss was about Hullabaloo Diner! In my last post I shared with you that my man Dan and I would be moving Miss T to college. She’s all settled in now, a full-fledged college student. Making friends, attending classes, checking out the boys, doing homework, finding her way to the rec center regularly, […]
My mind is a jumble of emotions, questions, feelings and thoughts. I’d love to make or bake some delicious recipe to share with you but that’s not happening today. Today is the day of “The Last Supper”, not the one with Jesus and his followers but our last meal with Miss T before she heads […]
Or so says Miss T! It’s a true statement, the kid won’t eat a slice of pie but she likes to make and bake pies. When she was around eleven years old I signed her up for a pie making class at Central Market around the Christmas holidays.

We recently returned from a splendid vacation to the cool mountains and arid deserts of Colorado and New Mexico. Returning to temperatures stretching way over 100* was torturous but…there’s no place like home. Below is a story in photos. Enjoy! Beautiful country, breathtaking views, laughing with family, chowing down on delicious food, campfires […]
When I learned that my favorite peach orchard would be closed until next summer as of this weekend, I knew I’d better take a drive and stock up on fresh peaches. Ham’s Orchard in Terrell, Texas offers up fresh picked peaches all summer long but alas peach season is almost over. I’ve watched Ham’s go […]
Only joking! But if I were, I’d tie some of these Monster Cookies up in a red bandana and throw them in my knapsack. These cookies could stand in for a meal! Filling, full of fiber – oatmeal, nuts – macadamias and of course some chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips. They also include natural peanut […]
