In honor of my hubby whose 30th birthday is tomorrow, I’m posting his favorite meal of all the things I’ve ever made. And wouldn’t you know it would be something simple like alfredo sauce? Time and time again I realize that my family is so simple, that they really just prefer basic meals to eat […]

Yesterday I posted on my blog’s Facebook page (check it out, if you haven’t already…that way you get notifications when I post new recipes!) and asked what type of recipe y’all would like to see today. The overwhelming vote was for a quick main dish. Far too often we all fall into the weekday dinner […]

If you didn’t know I’m living in the South just by knowing me, then you’d dang sure know it by the names of people that I mention. Most everyone has a double name, which as we know is almost mandatory down here. I myself don’t have a double name but a good many of my […]

Did you know that my hubby and I were high school sweethearts? Yep, we were, we are, whatever is the appropriate way to phrase that statement. We started dating when we were just in the 9th grade, and with the exception of a short separation our 10th grade year we’ve been together ever since. We […]

Before I tell you about this recipe let me just tell you about my hubby. He’s a super picky eater. He doesn’t like anything “weird” in his food, and “weird” in his mind qualifies as anything other than pasta, meat, or potatoes. He sure doesn’t like onions or peppers, and will turn his nose up […]

Grilled shrimp sounds simple enough, right? So then why can’t many restaurants get it right? I mean, if you work in a restaurant as a chef of all things, you should know how to cook grilled shrimp in my opinion. But I find that time after time, restaurants don’t even cook it right. I have […]

When I was growing up my Paw Paw was well known for his garden. Some summers I even remember him having a garden in two different locations. He’d get up early and water the plants in the backyard garden, then load up his bright green Chevy Luv pick-up truck (which had the most memorable horn […]

A sandwich is just a sandwich, right? WRONG! Not in my opinion at least. Take a couple pieces of bread, throw on some mayonnaise and meat and you have a run of the mill sandwich. Bleh! That doesn’t sound appetizing to anyone, except of course my five-year-old that would live off of turkey sandwiches if […]

A sweet friend of mine sent me this recipe quite a while ago, and there it sat not being made. Every time I made my weekly grocery shopping list and meal menu, I’d think about it and then decide not to make it. It sounded delicious and I honestly don’t know why I put it […]

We have Mexican food at my house a lot because it seems to be something that everyone will love. So instead of the normal beef tacos that I prepare so often, I wanted to try something new. I hear a good bit these days about shrimp or fish tacos, so I decided I wanted to […]
