Together, my husband and I have three children plus a son-in-law (and a grandson on the way): My daughter is 30 as is her husband, my oldest step-son is 25, and my youngest step-son is 22.

Strawberry, Balsamic Vinegar & Black Pepper Jam
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…
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…

Dreaming of Summer
Today the temperature is 25 degrees Fahrenheit in the early afternoon. Too cold for Oklahoma! It has been cold all weekend. This cold weather has been perfect for wearing hoodies.

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…
