This is what I’ve been doing this morning. Strawberry cake with kicked up Lemon Icing. Taking to mom’s for a party the apartment complex is having this evening. Yep, that’s a pot for a plant – I don’t have a cake pedestal! 🙂 Strawberry Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing Ingredients: 1 regular sized box of…

Jalapeno Poppers
Okay, the poppers aren’t perfect and they are fattening – but they are oh so good! I’ve always been up front about my domestic impairment so you shouldn’t be surprised. I bet most all of you could do this and they would come out magazine-cover perfect. I consider my imperfection in cooking a free public…
My Cinnamon Roll Adventure
Ya’ll, I’m so tired I don’t even know what I want to write about. Probably the thing that takes the least work in picture cropping. When I got up this morning I was going to make a loaf of bread and tie dye some onesies for my grandson. Top Girl’s father-in-law is in the hospital…
Pork Loin with Peach Glaze
Pork Loin Peach Glaze I couldn’t wait to use my new jam creation so I got up really early this morning and prepared the meat. First I washed and patted dry with paper towels. Then I prepared a rub made up of: 2 teaspoons ground sage 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon…
Peachy Piquant Jam
Yesterday I worked at the University editing two new videos for caregivers. Because I was in the town where I live, I was able to come home for lunch.

Let’s Be Serious Just This Once…..

Kickin’ It Cold-School: Cold Salad & Pudding Parfait
It is so hot and humid here it feels like a sauna outside. 112 F is too hot for man and beast! It was so hot that we didn’t eat breakfast. At lunchtime, I looked outside to see sweat drenched people rushing from car to building and decided I didn’t need to eat then either….
Custom Hot Sauce
Several years ago, Lawyer-boy finished his undergrad in Ag Econ and spent the summer in Louisiana doing a paid internship. The summer before he had spent a few weeks studying at Oxford and because there were other college students with him and an entire country to explore, he wasn’t home sick but in Louisiana, he…
Sunday Night Fried Chicken
I don’t know about elsewhere, but in the South we each have our own favorite piece of fried chicken. For instance, my mom was born in the late 30’s and the youngest of 6 children. Her “favorite” piece of chicken was always the wing (and the neck) because that was all that was left –…
