Do you know what a conserve is? The best way I can describe it is that it’s jam with nuts in it. This is my Oklahoma State Fair Blue Ribbon Award winning conserve. I’ve waited so long to share only because I haven’t made any in several years. The year I won the ribbon,…
Breakfast & Brunch
Blueberry Muffins
Don’t you love springtime when fruits and vegetables begin to come to our markets fresh from the vine instead of from the hothouse? Right now, fresh pineapple has been nearly an obsession for me since they are as sweet as they are tart…… and also blueberries. I could eat my weight in blueberries and that…
Broccoli and Cheese Muffins #BloggerCLUE
It’s that time again! Time for Blogger CLUE Society where a bunch of us Bloggers get together with one theme and then check out another’s blog, get to know them, and then make one of their recipes. I’m so lucky to have drawn Stacy from Food Lust People Love for the second time! I will…
Pineapple Dressing
This recipe for Pineapple Dressing, Pineapple Casserole, or sometimes called Pineapple Bread Pudding is an old southern receipt and also a contest winner – but it is not mine. Here’s the story: 2 years ago I posted my famous Crock Pot Hot Rolls recipe on Weekend Potluck and boy howdy was it popular!…
Apple Butter #BloggerCLUE
It’s time for our Blogger C.L.U.E. Society monthly post. There were so many fabulous recipes on Eliot’s Eats, it was hard to pick just one. You see, I found Eliot’s Eats through a mutual friend; Chocolate Chip Uru from Go Bake Yourself. Funny how someone in Australia introduced fellow Okies! When I was given Eliot’s…
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…
Bacon Month Begins!
Happy August every one! I am so very please and excited to announce the start of the 2nd annual Bacon Month started last year by Julie over at White Lights on Wednesday. This year, she has invited me to participate as well and I was thrilled to say yes because really, who doesn’t love Bacon?!?!?!…
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…
Chocolate Chocolate Donuts!
Do you know what a chocolate chocolate is? Where I’m from it is a chocolate cake donut with chocolate icing and it is my favorite donut on the face of the earth! Sometimes on Sunday mornings Mr. Picky Eater will announce he is going to the donut shop for a special treat. He doesn’t even…
Apple Enchiladas #Cincodemayo
Today is Lawyer Boy’s 27th Birthday. I met him when he was 16 and still in high school. I remember meeting him one Saturday afternoon and then the next week, I was in a Oklahoma State University Extension office and there his picture was in a green jacket. I asked the lady I was meeting…
