When it comes to cooking, I pretty much just cook the everyday stuff. The typical American hodge podge, melting pot of meals. I cook Mexican/TexMex but don’t make my own tortillas. I cook Italian but I don’t make my own pasta. I cook French but don’t make fancy pastries. I cook German but don’t make […]
This is my third month participating in Secret Recipe Club and I got the fantastic blog The Yummy Life for my assignment. I’m not exaggerating about the blog being fantastic! Monica has a lovely blog, it’s very easy to find whatever you are searching for: recipes, gifts and household/decorating tips. Evidently her son ‘T-Man’ is […]
Are you making a big pot of chili? Maybe some pork chops or pinto beans? Head on over to Pig of the Month for my posting on the tastiest cornbread ever. I also would like to thank Taylor Takes a Taste for all the helpful photography tips and inspiration.

We’re nuts here, seriously crazy nuts. We are also nuts about nuts. If I put out a bowl of pistachio, before you know it it have a big pile of shells and pistachio skin all over the place. I used to buy shelled peanuts, but lately McGyver had shown a sensitivity to them. He seems […]
Once again I am out of sync with everyone. I realize that people normally pickle their cucumbers once they have hoards of them and their neighbors, friends and relatives have refused to take another single one. Here I am making pickles, pickles with purchased cucumbers. First of all, I’ve never pickled anything in my life […]
Pease porridge hot, Pease porridge cold, Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old; Some like it hot, some like it cold, Some like it in the pot, nine days old. When I was just a wee child, last year (not really but it seems like that), my mother would serve me oatmeal. And I […]
