My dad, mom, Nana, Jim-Pa, and me on mom and dad’s wedding day 1966. This post will be a bit different than all my others. No recipes or repurpose projects. For my readers in other countries, I hope you will enjoy the story. Whenever it is time to vote and I begin to find excuses…

Sloppy Jacks for Sunday Supper
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. We are preparing for yet another yard sale next Friday and Saturday so it has been a really busy day. I had planned to make beef ribs with a new BBQ sauce I got from a blogger friend of mine whose recipe I pinned. Then, when I got…
Rocket the Dragon
Rocket was born on the Day of the Dragon, during the Week of the Dragon, in the Month of the Dragon, this year – which is the Year of the Dragon. In certain Asian cultures (which Rocket is, although you can’t really tell) he is a very lucky boy! Is that why he is a…
Football, Super Bowl, Tailgating and Diets: Chicken Fried Steak Sliders
I haven’t posted anything this week and I’m sorry. I cannot get used to it being dark when I get home from work. Next Saturday night we turn the clocks back another hour. Top Girl doesn’t like daylight savings time so she will be more than glad for it to be over, but I don’t…
Pork Steak Sandwiches – last gasp of summer!
It’s still in the 80’s here. Air conditioner is still on most of the time. October is the month in our state that the temperature fluctuates up and down the most. This fall, it’s more hot than cool. On Sunday, I wanted to have one more bar-b-q meal to end the summer. However, as it…
Bacon Cheeseburger Balls
After months of being notified that one of my pins had been repined, I finally decided to make the recipe. It looked good and sounded simple enough but I was afraid it might end up on a site like this hilarious one called Pintrosity. You can find it here: http://pinstrosity.blogspot.com/ My Tailgating food is from…
Sweet Heat: Our only Holiday Tradition
We are serious non-traditionalists when it comes to the holiday season. Top Girl’s dad and I are divorced. My husband’s parents are divorced – his mother is deceased now, but wasn’t when we married. Obviously my step-son’s parents are divorced. Top Girl is married with a 3rd family to consider especially with Rocket being here…
My Cinnamon Roll Adventure
Ya’ll, I’m so tired I don’t even know what I want to write about. Probably the thing that takes the least work in picture cropping. When I got up this morning I was going to make a loaf of bread and tie dye some onesies for my grandson. Top Girl’s father-in-law is in the hospital…
Homemade Ice Cream and a Review
I received the greatest little gadget in the mail Friday and I will tell you about that in a minute, but for the benefit of all the new people who are following my blog, I want to tell you a little about me and mine first. I am Kelli and last year, on my 49th…
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…
