Nana’s Southern Chicken and Dressing “First you boil a chicken”. That’s exactly what you do – of course you could buy a roasted chicken and use canned chicken stock but it will not taste the same. We have strict family rules about our holiday staple and (don’t laugh) here are just a few: 1. While we…

Toasted Ravioli #thanksgivingrecipe
This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving appetizers and you know you will need those with hungry people in the house! I saw several recipes on Pinterest for them but they all used homemade ravioli but—“Ain’t nobody got time for thaaat”! **Full disclosure: Sweet Brown (the lady who says that in all the videos) is…
Cranberry, Clove and Cinnamon Ham Glaze
I know it seems as if I have fallen off the face of the earth, but not true – just busy with Halloween and a few hiccups at work that have been smoothed out now – and life is back to normal, whatever THAT is. Just a small picture of the Wizard of Oz extravaganza…
Hiney and Boogie Wipes Container Upcycle
Since the kids moved in when their home flooded, we have been overflowing with these plastic containers! One for the behind and one for – well, what it says it is for as well as the rest of the face and hands after eating. I just HAD to figure out a way to recycle them…
Tex-Mex and the Red River Rivalry
Well – the game is over and we got our pants beat off by the Texas Longhorns. They deserved to win because they outplayed us (OU). The best part of the day was what I served: Tex-Mex with a version of Pam’s Chili Cheese Dip from Om Nomalicious and Pa-Blam. Let’s not speak of the…

Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls
Are you a Gluten Free family? Do you have Celiac Disease? I suppose if you have never tasted bread, rolls, pizza or cinnamon rolls then you wouldn’t miss them but what about someone who loved them and suddenly found eating it would make you sick? That would be awful! So – this recipe is for…
Peach Cobbler
My Nana was such a great cook and I didn’t even give it a second thought growing up – these days I sure wish I had paid more attention to what she did. She made a wonderful cobbler. Blackberry, blueberry, cherry, apple and peach. Her cobbler crust was not exactly like pie crust and it…
Pepper Braised Ribs
How is everyone doing this holiday weekend? We have been busy moving in the kids and getting things settled down. This hello fresh discount code has been a life saver! I have also done a few Halloween projects for my posts on Hometalk (click on the icon to the right) so I have been very…
Tailgating – BBQ Burritos
Are you ready for some football?!?! This Saturday begins the college season for us and while we are still frantically moving the kids in with us and rearranging the entire house, all will stop for a few hours on Saturday to watch the University of Oklahoma play a game of football. Half the kids are…
