This is a short tutorial on how to prepare green chilies for use. I don’t have a gas oven and the grill is oftentimes not allowed during the summer where we live because of wind or drought. I roast my green chilies in the oven with great success! Here we go….. Wash and dry your…

Rib Tacos
A week or so ago, I smoked some ribs and they were delicious! We had some left over and Mr. Picky-eater wanted to have more so I decided I would make something different with them. I took some tortillas out of the freezer (I buy in bulk cheaply and freeze them – beautiful!), grabbed a…
Sweet Heat: Our only Holiday Tradition
We are serious non-traditionalists when it comes to the holiday season. Top Girl’s dad and I are divorced. My husband’s parents are divorced – his mother is deceased now, but wasn’t when we married. Obviously my step-son’s parents are divorced. Top Girl is married with a 3rd family to consider especially with Rocket being here…

Sand or Chickasaw Plum Jam and Jelly
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:…

I’m a Crafty Chick making Tin Can Clocks

Fried Pickles a Southern Delicacy
Have you ever tried fried pickles? Mr. Picky-Eater loves them. They are widely available here in Oklahoma at many different venues, most notably Sonic. Sonic Drive-In was started in 1953 in Shawnee, Oklahoma – coincidentally where Brad Pitt was born and many family members still live – and now, Sonic is the largest drive in…
Chips Ahoy! Only Not…Cookies
First, may I please ask you to go to my Facebook page and if you like what you see, please “like” it. I could use your “like” very much. Thanks! Mr. Picky-Eater (husband) must eat four Chips Ahoy! cookies each night with a glass of milk at 9:00 PM, and apparently if he does not…
Candy Apple Jelly
The County Fair will be here tomorrow and this jelly has been entered into fair again. I enter it every year and every year I win a blue ribbon for it! It’s so wonderful and tastes just like a candy apple. It’s great on a biscuit but it’s better on ice cream and since it’s…
