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…
Meaty Meals
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…
Meatballs Recipe
I can honestly say that I don’t hate cooking anymore and I even enjoy it most of the time now. In order to reduce heating the kitchen each night after being gone for nearly 12 hours, I decided to make my famous meatballs and then freeze them. I already can spaghetti sauce each summer so…

Tangy Glazed Pork Loin
A few weeks ago, I went to the freezer and noticed I had 2 pork loins about to expire. I made Chili Verde with one, which I posted and was featured on Weekend Potluck # 15. I didn’t know what to do with the other one. I cruised over to The Country Cook on Facebook…

A Bowlful of Comfort
Yesterday was April 19, the 17th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Every year our television stations dedicate an inordinate amount of time going over every minute detail of that awful day and giving us updates on the people rescued, mostly the children. Did you know that most of the children rescued from the day…
Parrothead Jerky Recipe
I took such great pictures of exactly how to do this jerky and I cannot figure out how to insert them throughout the post! When I get it down, I will put them all in. In the meantime I can put in the recipe and a picture of the finished product. It is so tasty…
Restaurant-Style Chicken Wings at Home!
My husband and I LOVE chicken wings both hot and bar-b-q. They can be very expensive at restaurants and besides, my husband is one of those people who does not like to go out to eat, especially chicken. He had a bad food-poisoning incident eating chicken at a restaurant once and refuses to order it…
Stew Fresh from the Garden
It has been so hot for so long here, my husband and I have only had cold meals for the last 16 days. Yesterday morning I went to the garden and picked tomatoes, potatoes and onions. Those are about the only veggies making it through this heat wave/drought. While I really wanted a hot meal,…
