Brussel Sprouts, Turnips, Zucchini & Tomatoes are not generally on anyone’s Top Ten Most Loved Veggies list but I have always liked them – separately, but still, I liked them. I had some cherry tomatoes leftover from last summer that I threw whole into the freezer for later use. Recently, Top Girl and I…

Creamy & Luscious Asparagus Soup
I am lucky enough to have a freezer and because I do, when I have too much to do on days when I need to prepare some of the fruits and vegetables I have picked or purchased I get to throw them in until a more convenient time. Early this spring I did just that…
Cheesy Bacon Ranch Squash Casserole
Welcome to the final day of August AND #baconmonth! This recipe is so tasty and good – yet so awful to photograph. There is so much yellow in it and I just cannot make it look any prettier than this. I suppose if I had made it with zucchini instead of yellow crooked-neck squash it…
Bacon Ranch & Pimento Cheese Stuffed Veggies #putsomepiginit
Welcome to Week 2 Day 2 of Bacon Month!! How are you all doing? It’s been lovely weather here for the last couple of days and I have enjoyed it very much. Tomorrow we are back to the mid-90’s so we will be back to sweating again, but Monday and Tuesday were a nice break….

Nana’s Cabbage Rolls
When I was a girl, Nana grew cabbage in the garden and this was one of the recipes she made to use the cabbage. I made it exactly as the recipe called and I think this recipe is one of the best renditions of hers that I have ever done. In a moment I was…
Bacon and Cabbage
I want to welcome all the new people who are now following this blog because of my friends Joan at Chocolate, Chocolate and More and Retro Wifey! There is also someone who shared my Aunt Irene’s Lemon Meringue Pie on FaceBook Sunday but I cannot figure out who it is – if you know…
Carnitas with Avocado Corn Salsa!
Happy Veteran’s Day to my U. S. friends – if you get the chance, please tell a Veteran how much you appreciate the sacrifices they and their families make for us and for those of you reading who are Veterans – thank you from the bottom of my heart! My three uncles: Uncle Earl Wayne,…
Potatoes O’Brien
I made a smoker for the blog this weekend. Yep, I learned how to make a smoker to use in the oven when I was in Girl Scouts – we learned some incredible stuff in my troop. Mrs. Rooney was our leader – and that woman was a genius! I just looked her up (their…
