Sock It To Me Cake
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…

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…
