Before I delve into another yummy recipe, let’s just take a moment to talk about how awesome 70s rock is. For those of you younger than thirty, I’m talking about the 1970s…y’all may have to Google some of this information. Let me just name a few of my favorites. Let’s start with Michael McDonald, oh,…
Keto Schmeto
This is a Keto coconut pie. It’s not. It’s good. My husband has been on Keto for about way too long. This has put a damper, not damper, a kink in my dinner planning. It’s not hard not to eat carbs, you may say. You’re right. You’re wrong. I need carbs, all the carbs. However,…
No Soup For You…unless you make it.
One of my least of all least favorite foods is…soup. Ick. I don’t like any kind of soup, no matter who made it, what’s in it, or where it’s from. Gross. I barely like chili. However, I found a soup that is pretty good. Coming from a soup-hater, that’s saying a lot. Oh, I don’t…
I Like to Kiss…
This may be the EASIEST red beans and rice recipe EVER. I adapted it from Southern Living. It’s a one stop, one pot dish. Ingredients: 1 or 2 Bell Peppers (colors, your choice), diced 1 Yellow Onion, diced 1 Pound DRIED Red Beans, do NOT soak, you may rinse/sort 1 Pound (or more) Sausage, cut…
This Is So Stupid, It Can Only Be True…
First of all, that’s not my table. I just needed a pretty picture to balance the stupidity of what you’re about to endure. Brace yourself. Y’all recall when I said there were two incidents regarding the police being called to my house? Well, here ya go. Remember, it’s all true. (sigh) Incident #2 This is…
Whoa! The story about how I almost married Joey Lawrence.
In my defense, I was 14, not exactly marrying age. But, as y’all all know, teenagers don’t exaggerate. Neither do 40 year olds. So, there you go. Here’s a true(ish), but mainly true story: I almost married Joey Lawrence. I know what you’re thinking. Oh, my gosh! What happened? Were you jilted? Then you thought…
Who You Gonna Call?
OK. I told you I’d let you know why the police know me. These (yes, more than one, but you can only take one at a time) stories are quite embarrassing. But they’re true. That makes them worse. Here goes. Pour a cup of coffee, or whatever, and sit down. Incident #1 One night a…
Mom’s Night Out…And a Picture of Fig Preserves…We Think
Full disclosure…there’s NO recipe. I repeat, NO recipe. I didn’t do this canning of fig preserves. My husband did it, without a recipe. So…oh, fun. Also, does this picture remind anyone else of Monica on Friends after she broke up with Richard? Just me? OK. Recently, I had a conversation with a neighbor friend. She…
How easy was that, Bridget Jones?
Folding laundry isn’t so bad…I keep telling myself that. BUT, the most fun is cooking. Y’all now know I have found the kitchen and am pretty well-versed in how to use it. I swear when I cook that there are TV cameras watching me and zooming in on my freshly manicured (usually by me, let’s…
All Moms Do It
Those days where you know you love your children, but you don’t really like them. Yes, judgy moms, there’s a difference. Let me explain: you always “love” them. You’re the mom, you can’t help it. You don’t always “like” them. They can irritate you and annoy you and irritate you and annoy you. Here’s what…
