Do you remember visiting Shoney’s as a kid? I know there are still some around the U.S. but not nearly the number there used to be. With the slimmed down number, comes upgrades and updated looks like this (used by permission of Shoney’s). But nothing will change how excited I would get when we would…

Old Fashioned Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread
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…
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…

Strawberry Santa’s
A Facebook friend of mine from high school sent me a picture last week of little strawberry Santa’s and I just knew I had to make them. I searched the Internet for a tutorial or instructions and didn’t find too much. I honestly could only find 2 other posts with them and only one with…
Banana Nut Butter Crescents
Y’all know how much I loved my friend Pam’s Reese’s Banana Bread Muffins, right? Something else I’ve become a little obsessed with different flavors of nut butters! Until a few weeks ago, I had never tried Nutella, Biscoff, or any other kind of exotic peanut butter. I’m a Peter Pan girl and I lived in…
