Milky Way Bundlettes
Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while. I’ve been trying to get on a schedule since the kids moved in but so far it’s not working out very well! I am sure I will get used to all the activity soon – in the meantime, do you remember last Valentine’s Day when I tried…
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…
Peach Cobbler

Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pot Pie
I love chicken pot pie, Mr. Picky Eater? Not so much. It’s his problem with most things vegetable that cause an issue. Since we have been married, I have had chicken pot pie only when out to dinner but some nights I really just want to make it here – especially on those cold rainy…
