As you know, I have been experimenting with specialty jam recipes in order to write the second Nano-Canning book. The great thing about Nano-Canning is that it takes so little time. About 12:30 CDT Sunday I decided to make the strawberry & black pepper jam while timing myself. I waited until exactly 12:30 to get…
Food
Neeto Nachos!
Don’t forget to enter out Kindle eBook Giveaway before Sunday evening! After I finished with Nana’s Chocolate Pie I still had one pie crust left over. I hate to see food go to waste because I see hungry people every work day, so I am very appreciative of what we have. I knew I wasn’t going…
Nana’s Chocolate Pie
My nana was a wonderful woman who tried like the dickens to teach me to cook, iron, crochet and any number of other domestic arts. The only one she ever succeeded in was teaching me to can fruits and vegetables from the garden. Every once in a while I decide there was something she cooked…
Burritos The Easy Way
Such a busy weekend ahead. Finishing up the Micro-canning eBook as well as formating and uploading the Guide to Garage Sales eBook. There will be little time to cook. Since I don’t do it that well anyway, I doubt anyone complains! I am going to use one of my fall-back recipes that everyone loves! I…
Pineapple Jam or Pineapple Almond Conserve
Ash Wednesday ushers in the Lenten Season of 40 days reflection and repentance for our Catholic friends. Whether you are Catholic or not, you most likely know at least one.

Restaurant-Style Chicken Wings at Home!
My husband and I LOVE chicken wings both hot and bar-b-q. They can be very expensive at restaurants and besides, my husband is one of those people who does not like to go out to eat, especially chicken. He had a bad food-poisoning incident eating chicken at a restaurant once and refuses to order it…
Drambuie Surprise Jam
It is so hot here I do not want to go out and pick any fruit that may be surviving this drought. I put up some strawberries in the freezer back in May. Pulled them out and decided to make a special concoction. Here is the recipe. Drambuie Surprise Jam 12 Cups cleaned…
Dappled Apple Dessert
I love Pink Lady apples, like the picture above. They are dappled yellow and red. I used to love the deep red delicious apples but now they have better outside color and no taste inside. So, I stick with my Pink Ladies that are in abundance right now. I hope you like the recipe because…
Stew Fresh from the Garden
It has been so hot for so long here, my husband and I have only had cold meals for the last 16 days. Yesterday morning I went to the garden and picked tomatoes, potatoes and onions. Those are about the only veggies making it through this heat wave/drought. While I really wanted a hot meal,…
