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…

Smoke Your Own Cheese
I love the taste of smoked cheese, don’t you? I particularly like it made into pimento cheese but used as a spread for crackers instead of a sandwich. I smoked this cheese early on in my blogging career and so the pictures are not great – I didn’t even grate the cheese and make it…
Cheesy, Bacon, Ranch muffins & an Interview
I saw some Bread Pudding Cupcakes on the Imperial Sugar Website and it gave me the inspiration for today’s recipe. We will get to that in just a moment. (Click on picture) But first an interview with Elana from RecipeNewZ – I was so happy that the administrator of my favorite food site agreed to…
Beer Cheese Soup with Meatballs
This is the closest I get to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day these days. Mr. Picky Eater “can’t stand” the smell of cabbage cooking so corned beef and cabbage is out. But this is a nice substitute even though the cheese if from Wisconsin, the Beer from Mexico and the “meatballs” are from Germany! Interestingly, even…
Breakfast Tarts
Yeah, I know that tarts are supposed to have pastry bases and mine has hash browns but you know, whatever……….if anyone wants me to confess, here it is: “tart” is not the “right” word, but sometimes I do the “wrong” thing or say the “wrong” thing and I often find pleasure in all its “wrongness”!…
The Elegant Hamburger
Sorry everyone, only plated pictures of this one. No tutorial because Rocket is here this evening and while I am cooking, he is usually in his high chair “helping” me. There’s no time for pictures when Rocket is in the room, unless they are of him – he loves to have his picture taken. The…
Deviled Eggs with a Kick
Today is very sunny, making me think of spring but it is windy and very cold reminding me it is still winter here. Basically that means a part of me wants to get outside and run, hop, skip, and jump or at least get outside and THINK about running, hopping, skipping, and jumping. The other…
Jesus Hummus
For those who may be offended by the title, please give me a chance to explain. Several years ago, Top Girl and I were at Target when we saw some hummus. I was not a huge fan of it, but I was starving so we got a container of Sonny & Joe’s Hummus Galilee (it…
Mexican Chocolate Cornbread
Before you skip this recipe and move on to another blog, bear with me a few minutes! I love the site Yum Goggle and if you have not been over there yet, click the link and spend a little time there. It is like a 24 hour a day Linky Party – only with bigger…
Chicken Wings Three Ways and a Bonus!
We had chicken wingless tonight. It turned out so well, I thought I would share it with you along with three chicken wing recipes. These could be used for a Super Bowl party or anytime. Following are three different recipes that use the exact same process, up to a point, that may be used with…
