Nana’s Southern Chicken and Dressing “First you boil a chicken”. That’s exactly what you do – of course you could buy a roasted chicken and use canned chicken stock but it will not taste the same. We have strict family rules about our holiday staple and (don’t laugh) here are just a few: 1. While we…
Thanksgiving
Toasted Ravioli #thanksgivingrecipe
This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving appetizers and you know you will need those with hungry people in the house! I saw several recipes on Pinterest for them but they all used homemade ravioli but—“Ain’t nobody got time for thaaat”! **Full disclosure: Sweet Brown (the lady who says that in all the videos) is…
Cranberry, Clove and Cinnamon Ham Glaze
I know it seems as if I have fallen off the face of the earth, but not true – just busy with Halloween and a few hiccups at work that have been smoothed out now – and life is back to normal, whatever THAT is. Just a small picture of the Wizard of Oz extravaganza…
Candy Corn Cob Pinterest Fail
Remember when I posted about the Bunny Rolls that weren’t really rolls at all? This is another one of those posts. My cousin Debbie posted a picture on my personal FB page of this corn cob made from candy corn and a banana……………or so it said on the picture. I thought it was easy enough…
Milky Way Bundlettes
Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while. I’ve been trying to get on a schedule since the kids moved in but so far it’s not working out very well! I am sure I will get used to all the activity soon – in the meantime, do you remember last Valentine’s Day when I tried…
Oklahoma Women Bloggers Thrift Challenge
For those of you, who are used to a recipe from me, know every so often I post something I have repurposed – and when I say “I”, I mean I buy and have the idea and Mr. Picky Eater executes the design. This one is pretty impressive and it’s all due to MPE’s talent!…
Rice Krispie Candy
I found this recipe on the Imperial Sugar site and knew I wanted to try these. They were made for Imperial Sugar by the blogger at Fields of Cake. The recipe is easy and the taste is deee-licious! I changed it just a little by adding my own idea of what good toppings would be…
Ranchero Tacos
I think I have told you in the past about our non-traditional holiday celebrations but in case you missed it or weren’t reading last year, I will tell you a little about our Thanksgivings here at our house. As you may have surmised, we have a blended family. Mr. Picky Eater and I married 8…
Chess Pie
Nana made Chess pie for as far back as I can remember. It is a wonderfully scrumptious pie that is very old fashioned. I was about 10 when I decided that is what I wanted for my birthday instead of a cake. Luckily, Top Girl learned how to make it from her and…
Deviled Eggs with a Kick
Today is very sunny, making me think of spring but it is windy and very cold reminding me it is still winter here. Basically that means a part of me wants to get outside and run, hop, skip, and jump or at least get outside and THINK about running, hopping, skipping, and jumping. The other…
