On my last pass through my Nana’s cookbook, I saw her recipe for Pressure Cooker Pork bringing back memories of old pots with screaming pressure release whistles never knowing if the lid would fly off the pot and crash through the ceiling leaving a trail of food in its path. Mostly she canned in hers…
Meaty Meals
Daube Glace’
Follow my blog with Bloglovin It is so cold here! How about where you live? Tomorrow morning, they tell me it will be about 9F when I leave for work. I hope I don’t have car trouble because I will probably freeze to death. My work clothes are not made for this kind of weather….
No Mess Hot Wings
Do you like hot wings but do not like the sticky wetness of it all? That’s how I am because there is nothing I hate worse than getting my fingers and hands messy but I do love the taste of chicken wings. I have spent the better part of the last two years trying to…
Dr. Pepper Turkey
We are big fans of turkey in our house and we will eat every bite. I smoked the turkey in these pictures but you can roast in a conventional oven and I will tell you how. You will need: 1 fresh or frozen turkey – ours was 14 pounds. 2 apples – quartered 2 large…
Nana’s Southern Chicken and Dressing
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.

Carnitas with Avocado Corn Salsa!

Hamburger Helper Soup
Y’all know me pretty well by now and you are aware that I have learned to enjoy cooking but I love a good shortcut unless it is the weekend. This is a weeknight soup for those cold rainy nights – like we are having this evening. It takes no time at all and a big…
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…
Chicken and Dumplin’s
I haven’t been around for a while but I really have been trying to adjust to having such an active child in the house. It has been such an adjustment for me because Top Girl was so very calm and quiet but Rocket is “all boy” as Mr. Picky Eater says. Running, climbing, jumping, yelling…
Best Dry Rub and Wet Sauce Ever!! And Brisket
I have two recipes for one today and you are going to love them both. Yes, I am serious. My parents were preparing and smoking meat long before it became cool and hip. It was my job to prepare the meat for smoking and make the sauce for so long, I remember standing on a…
