A few days ago I was talking to my co-worker on Face Book and she told me to look up a recipe called Alabama Firecrackers. I obliged and as soon as I saw it, I was taken back to age nine: Yep, that’s me back when my hair was only wavy and not crazy curly…

Cooking Rolls with a Heating Pad
Back before I knew the correct way to pin on Pinterest, whenever I saw a picture on there I just pinned it. There I was for months pinning away willy nilly whatever struck my fancy, didn’t matter. If it looked good I pinned it. Then I met some bloggers on a closed group called the…

Ham Salad 2 Ways
I had some leftover ham that I needed to use up and while I did not have enough to make a ham loaf (which I LOVE) I certainly had enough to make ham salad. I have not had that in a very long time so I made some up and that was our Sunday lunch…
How To Smoke Garlic
Did you ever think about smoking garlic? It is wonderful and can be used in chili, soups and stews but my favorite way to use this is in a roast either beef or pork that I cut slits in and then smash the cloves into. It gives it a very nice smoky flavor when you…
Smoke Your Own Cheese
I love the taste of smoked cheese, don’t you? I particularly like it made into pimento cheese but used as a spread for crackers instead of a sandwich. I smoked this cheese early on in my blogging career and so the pictures are not great – I didn’t even grate the cheese and make it…
