My mom shared this recipe with me years ago. It’s perfect to make around the holidays, when cranberries are so readily available at all the grocery stores. I like to stock up and freeze them, so I can make this wonderful coffee cake year-round. It’s a special treat for breakfast—or anytime!—and definitely goes great with [...]

The Last Little Peppers
This past Friday, I picked the last red peppers from the porch garden. We used them in the chicken fajitas we had for dinner before we left on our camping trip.
Being as they were the last, I couldn’t resist taking a picture to commemorate the occasion.
My Levi is an adorable fellow, but when it comes [...]

Recipe: Hot Reuben Dip
I promised this recipe a couple of weeks ago, but then I took my blogging break and didn’t get around to it. I had trouble getting a good photo of it, but below you can see what it looks like when it comes out of the oven.

Recipe: Festive Tossed Salad
By now, everybody and their grandmother has this recipe. I got it from my mom, who got it from her oldest friend, Sharon, who got it from a lady who brought it to a shower. My whole family calls it “Shower Salad!”

Recipe: Stack-A-Meal

RECIPE: SOUTHWEST SALAD
For the dressing:
2/3 cup Miracle Whip
1/3 cup milk
1 Tablespoon lime juice [...]

Father’s Day, This ‘n’ That
I’m not sure there are any fathers who read this blog, but I’ll say Happy Father’s Day anyway!
My husband’s birthday always falls within a few days of Father’s Day, which means I always have to put on my proverbial thinking cap to come up with gift ideas for him. This year, it’s been all about [...]

A Southern Porch Garden
I’ve been meaning for weeks to tell you about my porch garden.
If memory serves, we began the weekend after Easter. I’ve taken photos along the way. Here’s what the porch garden looked like about two weeks ago:
On the far left, we have thyme and oregano, plus some very small canterbury bells seedlings that [...]
