A few days ago I was talking to my co-worker on Face Book and she told me to look up a recipe called Alabama Firecrackers. I obliged and as soon as I saw it, I was taken back to age nine: Yep, that’s me back when my hair was only wavy and not crazy curly…
Football Season!
Gooey Goodness in a Loaf
A few weeks ago, I was at Panera bread making a purchase. It was pretty late and as they were putting things away I was offered a loaf of bread for free. Of course I said yes without even asking what kind it was! It sort of has a sourdough bread feel and taste but…
Three Cheese Sausage Balls
These are great for football and tailgating as well as parties! Easy to make and so moist and tender… My husband and I always stay home on New Year’s Eve. When we were younger, we always went out but I’m not interested in freezing to death in a dress or dodging drunk drivers so we…

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.

Rib Tacos
A week or so ago, I smoked some ribs and they were delicious! We had some left over and Mr. Picky-eater wanted to have more so I decided I would make something different with them. I took some tortillas out of the freezer (I buy in bulk cheaply and freeze them – beautiful!), grabbed a…
Jalapeno Poppers
Okay, the poppers aren’t perfect and they are fattening – but they are oh so good! I’ve always been up front about my domestic impairment so you shouldn’t be surprised. I bet most all of you could do this and they would come out magazine-cover perfect. I consider my imperfection in cooking a free public…
Rockstar Crescent Rolls
Yes – I said rockstar and I meant it! I must tell you right up front that I started out trying to make this recipe http://www.rhodesbread.com/blog/blog/bacon-cheese-crescents from Stephanie of Plain Chicken Blog fame, found here: http://www.plainchicken.com/. But when I got home this evening I found that I didn’t have several of the ingredients Stephanie used…
Mini Cinnamon Rolls
When I was a kid, my mom’s brothers, sisters, their spouses, and kids would all come home about once per year. Every year they asked my Nana to make them her cinnamon rolls because they could never find ones as good as hers. I always liked them really well but never knew why no one…
Pepperoni Logs
Are you looking for a portable and tasty dish to make for Super Bowl night or any other party? I believe this will be perfect. It is so easily made and while you could cut them in half for appetizers, you could serve them whole on a buffet. You just can’t be them for good…
