Sand or Chickasaw Plums grow by the side of the road here in Oklahoma. I wasn’t sure the rest of the world would know what sand plums are – I thought maybe they were only found here in the south – so I looked for pictures and explanations and here is what I found:…

Pina Colada Poke Cake
A few weeks ago I made a Banana Pudding Poke Cake from Brandie over at The Country Cook. Mr. Picky-eater had never even heard of a poke cake at the time. Since, I have made 2. He loves them. At the grocery, I was standing in the cake and pudding mix aisle trying to decide…

Mmmmmmmmmm……Fried Okra
I am pretty sure that many people don’t know what okra is or at least have never cooked it before. It’s a southern delight and so tasty! I like it boiled as much as I like it friend but it makes Mr. Picky-eater sick to watch me eat boiled okra so when I found this…
Another Goal Met!
NANO-CANNING: Specialty Jams, Jellies, and Marmalade My second Nano-Canning eCookbook has been released! I’m really proud of this one because it marks all the work I’ve done creatively, scientifically, and photographically over the last few months!

Pepperoni Logs
Are you looking for a portable and tasty dish to make for Super Bowl night or any other party? I believe this will be perfect. It is so easily made and while you could cut them in half for appetizers, you could serve them whole on a buffet. You just can’t be them for good…
Squash Casserole
The other day I was reading one of my favorite blogs and the recipe of the day was squash casserole. The pictures reminded me of how my nana’s always looked and my mouth began watering for some! I commented that I wanted to make some of that! I promptly forgot about it. Saturday I went…
In John Deere Green……
Mr. Picky-eater’s birthday is today. He stayed home from work and made this. Another fund raiser for 4-H. He secretly loves it when I post these on my blog even though he protests the entire time! Thought I would put in a little humor with this one since we now officially look like Oliver and…
Farmer’s Market and Fins Up!
See all that? We purchased those at the Farmer’s Market Yesterday. It was great! We saw so much and even though it was hot and muggy, we strolled around the market while I took these pictures. Then we walked over to the Sweet –n—Sassy and had some donuts. Today is father’s day and I would…
Scrambled Egg Sandwich
As a blogger, I am constantly taking pictures of everything I do, especially when I cook something. Mr. Picky-eater has to wait to eat until I’ve taken the picture that isn’t the worst…….I’m not a good photographer so I do my best. I think I’m getting better. I read a couple of books on it…
