On just about any potluck spread, where I’m from, you will find cream cheese pinwheels. They’re one of my potluck favorites, and everyone else’s, too. I like these salami pinwheels even better because there is no flour tortilla involved. I love tortillas but they get kind of soggy in pinwheels. The salami in this recipe…
New Year’s Eve has always been fun with my mom. It’s full of junk food and movies and staying up late. Well, late can be relative. I am so thankful that Netflix has an anytime countdown for kids. I bet we all end up in bed by 11. One of our favorite New Year’s Eve…
Since we moved to our new house it’s pretty hard to find things. Lots of boxes are still packed and at a storage unit. We moved at Christmas last year so I knew where some Christmas decorations were but not most of them. I couldn’t find the ornaments for the Christmas tree, but I…
This Chicken Waldorf Salad is an oldie but goodie. But first, my heart is heavy and I must tell you that Lillian from Lillian’s Cupboard blog has passed away unexpectedly. She was an 85-year-old dynamo that was full of love, recipes and knitting! She led a great life from start to finish in Ohio and…
Are you ready for the holidays? Boy Howdy — here we go! This recipe is for Fresh Green Bean Casserole instead of the kind you make with canned green beans. That one get a bit mushy, don’t you think? It is pretty straight forward and I think you will love it — you can, like…
Top Girl, here! Bringing you one of my favorite kinds of cake. Some people prefer chocolate cake and others prefer vanilla cake, but my favorite has less to do with flavor and more to do with shape. My favorite cake is a bundt cake and almost always with no icing. I like my bundt cake…
This is a very difficult post to write and has no recipe. It is about your or someone else’s Cpap or Bipap machine. The reason this is important is because I desperately need a Bipap machine and it is completely cost prohibitive to me at this time. The waiting list for a local benevolent association…
How are y’all doing? Has it cooled off where you live? It sure has here! I actually wore a light jacket the other night in between all the rain and windiness. This stuffed peppers with sausage and grits is a bit labor intensive but oh-so-worth-it! Sweet bell peppers of all colors are in abundance right…
This DYI Super Smooth Body Lotion works incredibly well, is easy, cheap, and makes GREAT Christmas presents! Eliot’s Eats originally first made it and I just love it. I like to dress it up with essential oils to really get that boutique lotion smell. I have made several batches of DIY Body Lotion using the…
Are you ready for Football season? Tailgating? Feasting? What about holiday parties coming up soon? Yep — me too! I love cooler weather and snacking. This Queso Monkey Bread with Chorizo (or spiced up hamburger meat) fits the bill. I always give credit when credit is due but honestly, I had to remake this recipe…
Welcome to Pieathalon 5! Yep, it has been five years since I began participating in this worldwide challenge – missing last year for the heart issues. But I am back and accepting the challenge from our great leader, Emily of Dinner is Served 1972. When I chose my pie recipe to contribute, I chuckled…
Good Sunday Morning! Can you guess why I have made these Ooey-Gooey decadent Chocolate Salted Caramel Pecan Oatmeal Bars along with other #Bakingbloggers this month? Here’s Why: Today is the last day of summer vacation for my grandson and me. Tomorrow morning he begins school again and I am still his learning coach so busy…
What are you doing this fine Sunday? I am making more of the Chow Chow I made a few weeks ago and my daughter asked me to make a salsa recipe for canning. Something I have not done in several years. I had everything I needed having gone to the Farmer’s Market yesterday and getting…
It’s Muffin Monday! I don’t get to participate very often but when I do it is always loads of fun. This month I made Cinnamon, Brown Sugar and Golden Raisin Muffins. The cinnamon and brown sugar make the muffins look rather dark but they are oh-so-delicious! Please check out the bottom of the page…
How are you all surviving these dog days of summer? I have discovered a sweet that will cool everyone down. Pineapple Pie. You can make it with canned pineapple or fresh pineapple. You can make your own pie crust or buy them. It tastes delicious and guess what? The recipe is easy a pie…….. so…
I posted on my face book page that I was making my mom neck bone this weekend and I had several requests for the recipe – so, I decided to make a post of it. Neck bone is a southern dish that was on our table several times a year when I was a…
Sesame Beef How are you surviving all the heat? It has been brutal here and I honestly cringe each evening when I have to heat up the kitchen. This quick sesame beef recipe does not require the oven and is so delicious you will enjoy it the next day for lunch. If there is any…
Do you love cheese steak? Gooey cheese, peppers, onions, and thin sliced steak on roll is heavenly combination at our house. The smell of peppers and onions cooking wafts through the house and makes the guys perk up and wander into the kitchen to see, “What’s for Dinner?” This Saturday Philly Cheese Steak…
