****For those of you who live in countries other than the United States: I will be happy to send if you win – probably on a slow boat – but you must be prepared to pay customs charges if it is sent to you! I have no idea how much it will be for you,…

Bakin’ Bacon
Do you bake your bacon? I have been for years and it is so much better than putting up with the bacon smell in your clothes, hair and house for hours and hours! I saw a recipe from The Better Baker blog recently where she too baked her bacon but she used a little different…
Say Yes To The Dress Episode
For those of you who asked, Minnie Mouse’s (Lawyer Boys intended) episode of Say Yes To The Dress will be on this evening at 8:30 PM on TLC – I’ve only seen the commercial and it’s the one where the guy – is he the owner? asks the grandma if the bride looks like a…
It’s National Grilled Cheese Day!
Did you know that April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Day? And April is Grilled Cheese month. My daughter is the best grilled cheese artist – there is no one better in my book, except one. This is a story about the time dad and I were batchin’ it. As I was thinking about a…
Chess Pie
Nana made Chess pie for as far back as I can remember. It is a wonderfully scrumptious pie that is very old fashioned. I was about 10 when I decided that is what I wanted for my birthday instead of a cake. Luckily, Top Girl learned how to make it from her and…
Jimmie’s Sugar Cookies and a Great Giveaway!
Jimmie is the oldest grandchild and I am the youngest. Fifteen years and sixteen cousins separate us but back then we were close in that adult/kid sort of way because we were the favorite grandchildren of Jim and Dan Taylor. When Jimmie was young, he was sent on a bus to his name sake’s house…
Aunt Irene’s Old Fashioned Mustard Potato Salad
My Aunt Irene and Uncle Ray introduced my parents. I remember the Sunday morning Uncle Ray pulled into his driveway. He walked out to the car as I stood in the front seat (yep, there was a time when we all stood in the front seat and didn’t wear seat belts) and watched him glide…
Crockpot Parmesan Garlic Bread sticks
Ever since my Crockpot Hot Rolls were such a hit, I have been trying to come up with another and I finally did this past weekend. I can’t wait to use this when the weather is hot and Mr. Picky Eater is making his wonderful spaghetti with meat sauce. I am thrilled I can now…
Strawberry Crème Roulade
A few weeks ago I entered a giveaway at Hungry Happenings. Time went on and I really didn’t think much more about it. About the same time I also entered a giveaway at Food Stories and did the same. Imagine my surprise when one day I won the Hungry Happenings giveaway and the very next…
Rainbow Bundt Cake plus bonus Peeps!
This cake is so easy and so pretty! I first saw it on the Betty Crocker website and that recipe said I could find the original cake by Arlene Cummings at Cooks with Sugar. I could find lots of really cool Bundt cakes that are like this but I could NOT find this one. I…
