The County Fair will be here tomorrow and this jelly has been entered into fair again. I enter it every year and every year I win a blue ribbon for it! It’s so wonderful and tastes just like a candy apple. It’s great on a biscuit but it’s better on ice cream and since it’s…

Prejean’s Gumbo
When our oldest son was still an undergrad, he did a summer internship in Lafayette, LA. The hubs and I went to visit him during that summer and had the great privilege of eating at Prejean’s Restaurant. While there, I purchased their cookbook and every fall, that son requests I make gumbo during football season. I…
3 Biscuit Waffle Breakfasts
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. Occasionally, they will all be here at breakfast time. Cooking breakfast for everyone used to be an incredibly nerve-wracking…
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…
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. For many practicing Catholics that meansk “Fish on Fridays”! Finding recipes for fish can be difficult during that time, so my friends tell me. That’s…
Parrothead Jerky Recipe
I took such great pictures of exactly how to do this jerky and I cannot figure out how to insert them throughout the post! When I get it down, I will put them all in. In the meantime I can put in the recipe and a picture of the finished product. It is so tasty…
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. I have completed many baking projects while inside. I made candy for my mother’s Valentine Day party at her senior apartment complex. I also dehydrated…
