So You Know I’m Not A Slacker……
How is everyone doing this evening? We are busy as bees over here – I am doing prep work for my white fruit cake. Yep, fruit cake and you will not believe what’s in it or how wonderful it is! I took a fruit cake recipe and then tweaked it over the years and now…

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…

Farmer’s Market and Fins Up!
See all that? We purchased those at the Farmer’s Market Yesterday. It was great! We saw so much and even though it was hot and muggy, we strolled around the market while I took these pictures. Then we walked over to the Sweet –n—Sassy and had some donuts. Today is father’s day and I would…
Carne Asada Nachos
Top Girl came over last night to help me with some bloggy stuff while her husband and Rocket spent time with his parents. The weather was cool, rainy, and dreary so some warm comfort food was in order but working full time prevents a long-involved recipe and prep so as I drove home, I went…
