Carne Adovada
Adovada is what New Mexicans generally call Mexican adobada. They both mean pork pieces that are marinated in a red chili sauce for a long time then baked to perfection. You can use it then for tacos, burritos, in eggs, just about anywhere you want. We made tacos with this recipe. You will love it…
Best Cornbread Ever
This is, hands down, the best cornbread I have ever eaten. I’ve eaten a lot of it in my lifetime and this is moist, tasty and just a little spicy. I loved it as did the entire family including son-in-law who does not like cornbread of any kind at any time. As you will see…
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Mint Meringues #cookieofthemonth
These cookies are the easiest most elegant cookies I have ever made and the good news is you can make them any flavor and/or color that you want! Just 3 ingredients make them and while the time in the oven is long, it is completely worth it. I am participating with a group of bloggers…
7 UP Apricot Upside-Down Cake

This month I got my dear friend Stacy’s blog Food Lust People Love. I have been fascinated by the lunch lady, Madame Wong, who Stacy spoke so admiringly of…
A Big Announcement !
This was taken 2 years ago when Rocket had no hair at all and was always excited! He has hair now and he’s still always excited. I bet y’all have been wondering where I have been – well, I have been very busy and I have even made several recipes that I will be sharing…

Not Your Mamma’s Tuna Casserole
Do you remember Tuna Helper Tuna Casserole? I was a kid in the 60’s and 70’s so I had my share of tuna casseroles including the Tuna Helper brand. I liked it the best and really disliked most of the other because it was too strong so basically it just tasted like hot tuna that…
