My daughter says I shouldn’t post a recipe of a recipe I got from The Country Cook’s site and because it’s not mine. Well….1. As domestically impaired, there are not going to be a whole lot of recipes that are mine, and 2. I’m going to give the writer of said recipe full credit and…

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…
New! Recipe Index and More
First, I want to share this with you. My daughter thinks it’s funny. Since she has just made some updates to the blog I thought I would share it. Anyone a fan of Walking Dead? Our family is! Now, onto the updates! On the menu bar above you might notice some changes. I have a Recipe Index…
Dreamsicle Jelly
I remember my mom standing out by the side of the road, in her cat-eyes sunglasses waving down the Pinky-Dinky man. She would buy me anything I wanted as long as it didn’t cost more than a dime….yes, a dime! She always bought herself a push-up. Always. Mom loved those things, still does. As a…
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…

Tangy Glazed Pork Loin
A few weeks ago, I went to the freezer and noticed I had 2 pork loins about to expire. I made Chili Verde with one, which I posted and was featured on Weekend Potluck # 15. I didn’t know what to do with the other one. I cruised over to The Country Cook on Facebook…

A Bowlful of Comfort
Yesterday was April 19, the 17th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Every year our television stations dedicate an inordinate amount of time going over every minute detail of that awful day and giving us updates on the people rescued, mostly the children. Did you know that most of the children rescued from the day…
Strawberry Lemon Marmalade
Strawberry Lemon Marmalade is one of my favorite spreads. It is not too tart and not too sweet. It qualifies as marmalade is the zest that is in it. Let me warn you now, it is labor intensive but oh so worth it! I would say it tastes a bit like Sweet Tart candy. I’m…
