Saturday, Top Girl thought we may like supper made for us after the 2-day yard sale we had (and we were) so as she was frying chicken tenders she had her husband bring us a couple. We were so tired that evening, we didn’t even eat. But the next day as we were watching football,…

A Kinder Gentler Gingerbread Man Cookie
I love the look of gingerbread men cookies – but the taste is just too strong and intense for me. For years, I would see one and think that maybe this time I would like it – but I never did. That is, until today. For those of you who follow my Facebook page, you…
Dan Taylor’s Determination
My dad, mom, Nana, Jim-Pa, and me on mom and dad’s wedding day 1966. This post will be a bit different than all my others. No recipes or repurpose projects. For my readers in other countries, I hope you will enjoy the story. Whenever it is time to vote and I begin to find excuses…

A Cookbook eBook Review from me!
Y’all know that I have written several eBooks and there’s one that I have had “almost” finished for so long Top Girl is going to brain me if I don’t get it finished. But today, I am here to talk with you about a lovely new eBook, just released today by the ladies over…
