Saturday, Top Girl thought we may like supper made for us after the 2-day yard sale we had (and we were) so as she was frying chicken tenders she had her husband bring us a couple. We were so tired that evening, we didn’t even eat. But the next day as we were watching football,…

A Kinder Gentler Gingerbread Man Cookie
I love the look of gingerbread men cookies – but the taste is just too strong and intense for me. For years, I would see one and think that maybe this time I would like it – but I never did. That is, until today. For those of you who follow my Facebook page, you…
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…
Pork Steak Sandwiches – last gasp of summer!
It’s still in the 80’s here. Air conditioner is still on most of the time. October is the month in our state that the temperature fluctuates up and down the most. This fall, it’s more hot than cool. On Sunday, I wanted to have one more bar-b-q meal to end the summer. However, as it…
Halloween Bread Bowls
Aren’t these great? I have Rootin’ Tootin 2 Day chili in these but every year we put something – chili, homemade soup, cheese fondue, stew, just whatever you can think up (chocolate fondue or pudding would be fantastic!) in them. They are so easy and if you are having a Halloween party for kids or…
Halloween Brownie Treats
As you will see at the end of the post – it’s a good thing I’m not a perfectionist! If you don’t cook much but need some Halloween treats AND you have a fairly steady hand (mine? Not so much) you can have around 25-30 good sized treats in no time at all! All…
Slow Cooker Lower Calorie Italian Beef Sandwiches
Before I tell you about the delectable sandwiches we had this weekend, I want to show you the projects Mr. Picky-eater and I completed for the upcoming 4-H Foundation Fundraiser on October 8, in Tulsa. Mr. Picky-eater and Lawyer Boy play in the Golf competition each year and they also generally purchase some of the…
Fresh Apple Cake
When my mother finally consented to give me the family recipe for apple cake, she insisted I call it “Fresh” Apple Cake – we had a conversation about “rotten” apple cake and the odds of THAT, but as mothers often do, she won out and so the official title of this post is Fresh Apple…
Halloween Ghosties !!
About 3 years ago, I started using allrecipes.com. I love it there and regularly save other people’s recipes. About a year ago, I put on my own family recipes that I wanted to access quickly if I forgot how to do it or something happened to the recipes written on paper. About 4 days ago,…
Preparing for Chili & Stew
This little roll of stuff can be your best friend! Who doesn’t love a great bowl of chili or stew? Whether you are a carnivore, carnivale (chicken & turkey people), or vegetarian a good hot cowl of something lovely is great when it’s really cold outside. BTW, I was just kidding about the carnivale – I’m…
