I am back among the living and the flu seems to be gone, at least I hope so – 10 days is enough. This morning I wanted to make a nice southern comfort food that was sweet and reminded me of spring because these dark dreary days are getting on my last nerve. Sock…
Old Fashioned Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread
And so the flu continues…..we took mom to birthday lunch Monday, which was a full two days after her actual birthday and while I felt good Monday morning, before our lunch was over I had to be brought home because I was so ill. At least I wasn’t contagious so I didn’t infect all the…
Lasagna and the Flu
Statistically speaking, this year’s flu shot has been a dismal failure. The five people in our house all got the shot and now, only one has not had it. The kids had the flu at Christmas while Mr. Picky Eater and I successfully avoided it………..that is until last Monday. At first it started out like…
Maple Caramel Golden Sugar Blondies
It’s that time again! Blogger CLUE Group have chosen “Sparkling” as the word for January. I was given Anna Dishes as my assignment. Anna hails from Jacksonville Beach, Florida where she posts about homemade dishes, restaurants, and floral arrangements. Sparkling is the key word so I looked for that at first – and then I…
25 Soups & A Few Crackers
Did you know that January is National Soup Month? I love soup in the winter so much that if you add in chili and stew I could live on it for the entire month! I recently visited some of my blogger friends and found that they too have an affinity for soups publishing many recipes…
Classic Devil’s Food with 7 Minute Icing
I have told you about my Aunt Pat before here. Last night, I dreamed about her and my Uncle Dub (mom’s brother). We were in a car, at night driving down the road singing – Pat and Dub loved to sing in the car and a favorite song was “Side by Side”. This…
Creamy Crockpot Chicken & Rice Amandine Soup
That’s a mouthful isn’t it? But it is all those things and more, if you ask my mom. This is the soup she used to fix when one of us was ill because she thought, since she loved it – we all did too! Truth be told, I only developed a taste for any kind…
Ham and Scalloped Potatoes
This post is the recipe for one of the tastiest dishes ever: Ham and Scalloped Potatoes which is perfect for any leftover ham. My family absolutely covets this meal, even my mother, which is simple and not in the least bit spicy. The combination of ham bits and fresh potatoes with cheese is irresistible making…
Apricot Bars And Other Treats
It’s nearly Christmas for those of us who celebrate. Is your shopping done? Baking? Last Saturday night we celebrated Christmas with Lawyer Boy and his wife Minnie Mouse. Remember I showed you the cow picture we were giving to her? Look what she gave me? Isn’t that funny? There’s also a wonderful selection of…
Snowball Cake
This is my version of the snowball cake found at Kraft Recipes. It’s moist, delicious, and even though the outside is not a perfect replica of the hostess cake version, the outcome is still delicious! You must keep it in the fridge but the cold cake is so much better than you could ever guess….
