It’s been so cold here. Weather that we are not used to and only appreciate for a short time, to be sure! Yesterday Mr. Picky Eater requested chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight. I didn’t mind because it’s pretty easy and doesn’t take very long at all. I grabbed some chicken breasts from the freezer…
Meaty Meals
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…
Crock Pot Swiss Meatloaf
This was one of those happy accidents that I often have. I made these the day I made the fruitcakes and when I took out the hamburger, my brain was thinking, “make Salisbury steaks”. But it was in the MIDDLE of making the fruitcake so I had my mind on several things as once. The…
Texas Chicken Sliders
Saturday, Top Girl thought we may like supper made for us after the 2-day yard sale we had (and we were) so as she was frying chicken tenders she had her husband bring us a couple. We were so tired that evening, we didn’t even eat. But the next day as we were watching football,…
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…
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…
Deer (Venison) and Duck Gumbo & It’s My Birthday!!
It’s my birthday; it’s my birthday, Happy Birthday to me! One year ago, I decided it was finally time for me to learn to cook. I was turning 50 in 366 days and surely during that time I could quasi-master the art of boiling water! Many of you have followed along during this journey and…
Rootin’ Tootin’ Two-Day Chili
It’s finally feeling like fall here in Central Oklahoma. In fact, it’s pretty chilly today and Saturday – also known as game day in Norman – is forecast to be almost cold! OU is playing down in Lubbock Texas but we (and I mean the entire family) will be watching on the TV and eating…
Slow Cooker Lower Calorie Italian Beef Sandwiches
Before I tell you about the delectable sandwiches we had this weekend, I want to show you the projects Mr. Picky-eater and I completed for the upcoming 4-H Foundation Fundraiser on October 8, in Tulsa. Mr. Picky-eater and Lawyer Boy play in the Golf competition each year and they also generally purchase some of the…
