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…
Pork
Pepper Braised Ribs
How is everyone doing this holiday weekend? We have been busy moving in the kids and getting things settled down. This hello fresh discount code has been a life saver! I have also done a few Halloween projects for my posts on Hometalk (click on the icon to the right) so I have been very…
Tex-Mex French Bread Bierock
Sometimes I make mistakes and then I try to improvise. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not work and this time? Oh – it MORE than worked, it rocked! This morning I roasted Hatch Green Chiles and had in mind to make sort of Tex-Mex French Bread Bierock. Whatever – it is fantastic and…
Crock Pot Pickle Pork and the Origin of my Name
I received a comment on my last post that reminded me of how I found out the origin of my name. I’ve always liked it except for a few days during elementary school – and wouldn’t trade it for anything. My cousin Debbie reads this blog and I hope she will get a kick out…
Ham Salad 2 Ways
I had some leftover ham that I needed to use up and while I did not have enough to make a ham loaf (which I LOVE) I certainly had enough to make ham salad. I have not had that in a very long time so I made some up and that was our Sunday lunch…
Scotch Egg Appetizer
First I want to show you a pretty cool creation and then repurpose by Mr. Picky Eater. Lawyer Boy and Minnie Mouse wanted arbors incorporated in the wedding but did not want to pay the $1,000 to rent two. Lawyer Boy felt his dad could “figure it out” so he took his dad to the…
Bakin’ Bacon
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…
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…
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…
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…
