Finally! Seriously, I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen but it did, I was finally assigned Deb’s blog: Eliot’s Eats. I actually started reading Deb’s blog because of SRC. She got my blog, well, almost 2 years ago; she made me blush with all the nice things she said about my […]
When I retired from the military and started this blog I never realized what that path would take me to. I am no longer working the corporate/management world. I am self employed and my whole world revolves around food. When I feed people I do more than fill their bellies, I feel like I’m […]
Poutine, for you non-Candians or non-Northern Americans you may have never heard of Poutine. Poutine (pronounced poo-tin on the french side of Canada and poo-teen on the west side of Canada) is a dish created in Quebec during the 1950’s.

Guess what I’m off to this weekend? Ah-yep, goin to the cabin! Not just me and McGyver but my BFF and her boy. I’m planning on having some fun and drinking some beer. Speaking of BFF’s I originally got my fav Spanish Rice recipe from her. It’s simple and easy and I like that. I […]
One of these days I’m going to get some time off! In the meantime I’m continuing to share my posts over at Pig of the Month. Kicking this week off I’ve made a version of Toad in the Hole with a Pig of the Month Duck, Pear and Port sausage and served it up with […]
Would you believe these Danish’s are made with packaged crescent rolls? When I got my package of Apple Pie Bacon from Pig of the Month I couldn’t wait to make these. I’m so in lurve with this bacon! I have another pound of it in my freezer so you can expect more recipes with […]
