There are many “leftovers” recipes floating around the web right now and some of them look delicious. I haven’t posted in over a week so I wanted my first post back to be spectacular! I chose my Nana’s favorite recipe to use……….I guess the holidays make me think of her a lot because she and…

Cheesy Bacon Cornbread
This has been “Spoil Mr. Picky eater” all week long. As most of you know, my husband and I work in public service. On December 5th, I will have been with our agency – the place we met – for 18 years. Around my birthday, Mr. Picky eater (MPE) celebrated his 23rd anniversary. We both…
Nana’s Banana Pudding
Most of you read my post Dan Taylor’s Determination last week about my Nana. When several of my cousins saw it, they asked for many of her recipes which I promised to scan and send to them this weekend. But many things happened last week and I was unable to do so. I spent the…

Crock Pot Swiss Meatloaf

A Kinder Gentler Gingerbread Man Cookie

Sloppy Jacks for Sunday Supper
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. We are preparing for yet another yard sale next Friday and Saturday so it has been a really busy day. I had planned to make beef ribs with a new BBQ sauce I got from a blogger friend of mine whose recipe I pinned. Then, when I got…
Super Easy Halloween Cupcakes
I made a bunch of cupcakes today and given that it is Halloween, I wanted to make them festive without spending all day in the kitchen. I used a cake mix and canned icing with a few extras and I think they came out pretty well! The first one – show at the top of…
Football, Super Bowl, Tailgating and Diets: Chicken Fried Steak Sliders
I haven’t posted anything this week and I’m sorry. I cannot get used to it being dark when I get home from work. Next Saturday night we turn the clocks back another hour. Top Girl doesn’t like daylight savings time so she will be more than glad for it to be over, but I don’t…
