And so the flu continues…..we took mom to birthday lunch Monday, which was a full two days after her actual birthday and while I felt good Monday morning, before our lunch was over I had to be brought home because I was so ill. At least I wasn’t contagious so I didn’t infect all the…

Crock Pot Pizza
That’s right; you can make real pizza in your slow cooker! It is very easy and you will not believe how good it is, tasting exactly like pizza you make in the oven. Exactly. First, you should know that this was not my idea at all. Yesterday, a Face Book friend of mine shared a…
Copycat Taco Bueno Muchaco
I have a confession to make: I would do just about anything for a Taco Bueno Beef Muchaco – seriously, it can be dangerous sometimes when I want one and we are very far from a store. Those thick soft taco shells all supple and tender holding refried beans, taco meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes…
Smorgastarta
A Smorgastarta is a Swedish Sandwich Cake recipe that has many variations. I had my first one at my Aunt and Uncle’s home on graduation night for my cousin. Aunt Jan used bright pink food coloring for one of the layers and I was so mesmerized by this great tasting savory “cake” with bright pink…
Sweet and Savory Kolaches
This weekend will be the annual Czech Festival in Yukon, Oklahoma. Yukon is about 30 miles from here and I have been there many times to visit family but never to the festival. I read there are about 2,500 dozen kolaches baked for the festival. The entire weekend is spent celebrating the Czech heritage by…
A Sweet Potato Pie That Meets All Your Holiday Needs
That’s right! Old Fashioned, diabetic, lactose intolerant, gluten free and finally Uh-Oh-I-Totally-Forgot-To-Make-It sweet potato pies. With my mother’s side of the family so large, there were many different dietary needs during family gatherings and because of that, Nana made sweet potato pie many different ways in various years. While the recipe card is written in…
Bacon and Fig Bread Pudding
I must confess, my family hates raisins and refuse to eat even one. About five years ago, Lawyer Boy was in Lafayette, LA for a summer internship and we went to visit. We ate dinner at a wonderful restaurant called Prejean’s where we had gumbo, boudin, and bread pudding with rum sauce. Mr. Picky…

Welcome to Bacon Month hosted by many bloggers and spearheaded by Julie at White Lights on Wednesday! This month, every Tuesday and Thursday I will be posting a recipe featuring bacon and a giveaway.

Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Caramel Sauce
How are you doing? I’m doing great! This week held Top Girl and Son-in-law’s anniversary as well as Top Girl and Wonder Boy’s birthday – we have been so busy! Mr. Picky Eater even made Rocket a great swing from left-over lumber: A few weekends ago it was rainy and cold on Saturday so I…
