The ham we had for Thanksgiving was so tasty there wasn’t much left – just enough for 1 night of leftovers and then just a tad. I almost threw it out but I decided to throw it in the food processor and mince it up for 2 different recipes. I was inspired to make this…
Oklahoma
Strawberry Cheese Cake Crescent Bars
Each Wednesday in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper the is a long-running column called Melba’s Swap Shop. I guess Melba has been running the column for a very long time. I have seen recipe booklets titled Melba’s Swap Shop with different volume numbers. All the recipes are from home cooks throughout out state. Last week, I…
Nana’s Southern Chicken and Dressing

We have strict family rules about our holiday staple and (don’t laugh) here are just a few: 1. While we…
Are your Hours Smart? #SmartHours
My daughter is part of the Green Generation; at least that’s what I call them.

Climes – Mosquito Repellent
Good Saturday morning! This is a very short post but one you may find helpful if you are having any kind of outdoor activity during this last month of summer. I’m sorry, I can’t remember where I saw it but I decided to run a test before I posted about it so I could let…
Wonderful Happenings This Week and Big Secret!
This is somewhat different than one of my regular posts but so many great things have happened this week that I am bursting at the seams and want to share it with you! Last Sunday night at about 8:00PM I post an upcycle job Mr. Picky Eater and I did on some of his leftover…
Birthdays, Anniversaries, Omelets and a Nearly Free Ebook from Gooseberry Patch
Good Monday Morning all! I am writing this Sunday night but with auto-post it will come up on the blog Monday morning while I am at work, isn’t that amazing? I love it. We had a lovely long weekend celebrating MPE’s birthday and our anniversary the next day. I hope yours was nice as well….
