I have always loved Mid Century Modern (MCM) and Sauder Furniture, most likely because I was surrounded by it as a child. When my daughter was born, she picked up my love as well. When she was in college, we lived in a small town of about 18,000 and the yard sales were fantastic! We…

Such an Amazing Thing!
I know that I usually post a canning recipe on Tuesday and a recipe on Thursday, but this is the week that I conduct the big annual conference for Personal Care Assistants in our state. Even though I had to change the agenda about eight times in order for her to be there, the Governor…
Repurposing Junk
Living in a place like Oklahoma, you can imagine that we have lots of rusted farm implements and other farming equipment lying in fields and on the side of the road. Sometimes I feel the challenge to be imaginative enough to do something constructive with that junk as that is a retro-art. I can usually…
Easy Easter Palmiers
On Easter morning, we do not like to have heavy and sometimes messy breakfasts. When the kids were little that was a no-no! These quick and easy palmiers can be prepared the night before, left in the fridge overnight and baked off in a snap on Easter morning. A nice slightly sweet, light breakfast….
Candy Apple Jelly
The County Fair will be here tomorrow and this jelly has been entered into fair again. I enter it every year and every year I win a blue ribbon for it! It’s so wonderful and tastes just like a candy apple. It’s great on a biscuit but it’s better on ice cream and since it’s…
Repurposing and Basketball
As I write this my alma mater is in the last 2 minutes of the game to get into the final four. When you live in a college town that is not your undergraduate alma mater AND you live with people who ONLY went to the local university it can be tough to take all…

Prejean’s Gumbo
When our oldest son was still an undergrad, he did a summer internship in Lafayette, LA. The hubs and I went to visit him during that summer and had the great privilege of eating at Prejean’s Restaurant. While there, I purchased their cookbook and every fall, that son requests I make gumbo during football season. I…
3 Biscuit Waffle Breakfasts
Together, my husband and I have three children plus a son-in-law (and a grandson on the way): My daughter is 30 as is her husband, my oldest step-son is 25, and my youngest step-son is 22. Occasionally, they will all be here at breakfast time. Cooking breakfast for everyone used to be an incredibly nerve-wracking…
Fresh Bread!
I bet you thought this was a post about making bread, didn’t you? Nope. I don’t think I have worked my way up the cooking food chain far enough to tackle the mixing, rising, kneading, and baking of bread. If I were to make bread, I would want to spray it with lacquer and make…
