Rocket just celebrated his 6th birthday. This year’s big birthday party was held at Top Girl’s new house. Rocket was excited for a visit from his great grandma and grandpa and of course for presents! And doesn’t every little boy love a Star Wars Theme for their party? Top Girl had decided to put…
Chili, Soup, & Stew
Smothered Round Steak
Have you ever gone to your local grocery and seen that small section in the meat department that has packages of meat that has been reduced in price for quick sale? You have to use it or freeze it that day or it will spoil. My husband is the absolute king of that section…
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Rocket loves soup! I’m so happy that a 4-year-old asks for my Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup more than he asks for those little squares of processed chicken most kids love. Soup is so much better for you than some other foods. Last week it got chilly, heralding in soup season for us adults although…
Tamale Pie
Hi y’all – remember me? I know. It’s been exactly three months since I posted. I don’t think I really started out the summer to take a blog break but it is what happened. First, mom had some health problems, then………. everything I cooked turned into a failure. Have you ever gone through one of…
Creamy Tomato Soup for Blogger CLUE
It’s that time again – Blogger CLUE is here and this month, I was given Kate’s Kitchen as the blog and the theme was fall fruit. Well, I took that to mean any fall fruit and I chose tomato – tomato soup to be exact. Kate is a financial planner who is married to man…
Beans, Potatoes, Slaw and Cornbread
I am sharing four recipes with you today – none are very complicated but they are a hard core Traditional Southern Supper that is served with Chow Chow in the winter and in the summer would be served with a platter full of onion, tomato, and cucumber slices. It makes my mouth water just…
25 Soups & A Few Crackers
Did you know that January is National Soup Month? I love soup in the winter so much that if you add in chili and stew I could live on it for the entire month! I recently visited some of my blogger friends and found that they too have an affinity for soups publishing many recipes…
Creamy Crockpot Chicken & Rice Amandine Soup
That’s a mouthful isn’t it? But it is all those things and more, if you ask my mom. This is the soup she used to fix when one of us was ill because she thought, since she loved it – we all did too! Truth be told, I only developed a taste for any kind…
Creamy & Luscious Asparagus Soup
I am lucky enough to have a freezer and because I do, when I have too much to do on days when I need to prepare some of the fruits and vegetables I have picked or purchased I get to throw them in until a more convenient time. Early this spring I did just that…
Prejean’s Gumbo
October 12 was national gumbo day, giving me an excuse to make the warm comforting dish. I began making it at the request of Lawyer Boy after he spent one summer in Lafayette, La for an internship. His dad and I visited him while he was there and had the pleasure of eating dinner at…
