Sand or Chickasaw Plums grow by the side of the road here in Oklahoma. I wasn’t sure the rest of the world would know what sand plums are – I thought maybe they were only found here in the south – so I looked for pictures and explanations and here is what I found:…

Pina Colada Poke Cake
A few weeks ago I made a Banana Pudding Poke Cake from Brandie over at The Country Cook. Mr. Picky-eater had never even heard of a poke cake at the time. Since, I have made 2. He loves them. At the grocery, I was standing in the cake and pudding mix aisle trying to decide…

Betty Crocker Cake Mix Change
Mr. Picky-Eater likes 2 kinds of cake for the most part. Vanilla with chocolate icing and chocolate with vanilla icing are his favorites. As I started my journey of learning to cook, he obliged and will at least taste most of the recipes I cook. I must admit, I love making something that starts with…
Twinkie Cake = True Love!
My daughter says I shouldn’t post a recipe of a recipe I got from The Country Cook’s site and because it’s not mine. Well….1. As domestically impaired, there are not going to be a whole lot of recipes that are mine, and 2. I’m going to give the writer of said recipe full credit and…

Neeto Nachos!
Don’t forget to enter out Kindle eBook Giveaway before Sunday evening! After I finished with Nana’s Chocolate Pie I still had one pie crust left over. I hate to see food go to waste because I see hungry people every work day, so I am very appreciative of what we have. I knew I wasn’t going…
Nana’s Chocolate Pie
My nana was a wonderful woman who tried like the dickens to teach me to cook, iron, crochet and any number of other domestic arts. The only one she ever succeeded in was teaching me to can fruits and vegetables from the garden. Every once in a while I decide there was something she cooked…
Dappled Apple Dessert
I love Pink Lady apples, like the picture above. They are dappled yellow and red. I used to love the deep red delicious apples but now they have better outside color and no taste inside. So, I stick with my Pink Ladies that are in abundance right now. I hope you like the recipe because…
