Do you bake your bacon? I have been for years and it is so much better than putting up with the bacon smell in your clothes, hair and house for hours and hours! I saw a recipe from The Better Baker blog recently where she too baked her bacon but she used a little different…

Baked Chicken Nuggets
My Nana always said you cannot count on the weather until after Easter. Last Friday? 83 F degrees. This Friday? There is a chance of SNOW! I don’t have time for snow – I’ve got a conference to put on in 29 days which requires lots of driving and I do not drive in snow….
Mom’s Meatloaf Sandwich
My friend Pam over at Pa-Blam was tagged in a blogging world party game called 5 Things Meme. She was supposed to tell us 5 things about herself that you most likely don’t know and tag 5 more people. It made her so nervous to tag others, she just told us to consider ourselves tagged….
The Elegant Hamburger
Sorry everyone, only plated pictures of this one. No tutorial because Rocket is here this evening and while I am cooking, he is usually in his high chair “helping” me. There’s no time for pictures when Rocket is in the room, unless they are of him – he loves to have his picture taken. The…
Meat Lovers French Onion Soup
I think y’all know how picky my husband is and honestly, he ate this only because he couldn’t find anything else in the house at the time. It’s supposed to rain Wednesday so this would be a perfect thing to make but it takes a L-O-N-G time so it’s more of a My-Day-Off-From-Work thing to…
Bison Witches: Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Tomato Toasty
14 years ago this week, I moved to Norman. The first day of work I made friends with my desk mate Amy, and she took me to lunch at Bison Witches in the downtown area where I discovered my favorite sandwich. It is a hole in the wall place that has pretty good pub food…
Chicken Wings Three Ways and a Bonus!
We had chicken wingless tonight. It turned out so well, I thought I would share it with you along with three chicken wing recipes. These could be used for a Super Bowl party or anytime. Following are three different recipes that use the exact same process, up to a point, that may be used with…
Pulled Pork, A Valentine, and Exciting News!
I know many of you prefer to make all meals from scratch and I think that’s just wonderful! I am not bound by such a preference. Truth is, I get up long before most people and am at work very early, this is my busy “season”, and the office is a very stressful place to…
Gooey Goodness in a Loaf
A few weeks ago, I was at Panera bread making a purchase. It was pretty late and as they were putting things away I was offered a loaf of bread for free. Of course I said yes without even asking what kind it was! It sort of has a sourdough bread feel and taste but…
Cheesy Beef Enchiladas
I am bone tired! I got up at 4AM this morning, my day off, so I could get started on all the projects I have to do, get my hair cut and colored, and supper on the table. I got most all that completed and I will post pix of my projects soon but tonight,…
