Kelli was busy in the kitchen. She is one, like me, who enjoys trying new recipes. The latest was Breakfast Stromboli. This is her “recipe”. HA! Roll out a pizza crust into a rectangle.Spread nacho cheese on it. Cook up breakfast meat—I used bacon and 8 eggs scrambled. Put that on the rolled-out crust and …

read moreI have made French Onion Soup before. I made it more often when Kalissa lived at home because she really liked it. Kramer wasn’t much of a soup guy…Arnie is. So when I saw this recipe come through in my Facebook feed, I decided to give it a try. I’m going to try to add …

read moreI told you that I’ve been working on catching things up around here. Arnie, the guy I’m dating, is an awesome influence. We defrosted my freezers, and he said maybe I should use up a ham. I said no…I only make them when the kids are home. He said I had three in the freezer. …

read moreI've been making these for a long time...at least 15 years. They are a family favorite. We rarely eat out, but when we do, I would often order them if they were on the menu. If you share dishes they were easy to share. I no longer order them because we think these are better. We went to one very popular local Mexican restaurant last year and I ordered them. They were awful. Truly

read moreI’ve told you before that Arnie and I are both diabetic. We need to do what we can to limit our carbs and sugar. Yes, we still indulge now and then but we try to do what we can health wise to be conscious of what we’re eating when we’re home so we can cheat …

read moreHow about a recipe? I can’t give any credit for this one because I just made it up. I’ve been gaining weight, so I’m back on Weight Watchers. This recipe is probably 0 points; I counted it as 1 point because of the canola oil, but that’s probably overkill. 
I kept forgetting to thaw out some chicken, so I stopped at the store to get some, and found a package of chicken breast tenderloins that were marked down to $4.85 since the “use by” date was the next day. It was a little less than ...
I was weeding through some recipes I had pinned and pulled this one to make on Friday. DH had gone to check on our cows, I had finished oiling the interior of the chicken coop with Linseed oil, and my cookie stash had been depleted. These sounded promising and I had all the called for ingredients on hand. As I took the last batch out of the oven, someone knocked on the door. We live very

She ended up finding this recipe for Stich of Butter Chicken and Rice. She said it doesn’t look the prettiest but is very tasty. You can find the recipe HERE. …

read moreArnie and I went out to eat. I had a gift certificate I was using. We both got fish and I decided to get sides of a salad and a cup of soup…I was avoiding potato side options. They had four different soup choices and I went with the Stuffed Pepper Soup. I love Stuffed …

read moreAre ya'll familiar with Rachel of Rachel Cooks with Love? I'm not a You Tube watcher, but somewhere, she crossed my path and my kitchen hasn't been the same since. LOL. I made this last Friday and it was a big hit. Now, I know there's an ongoing conversation about chili with beans vs chili without beans. It's just a personal preference. I grew up with chili made with ground beef and beans.
read moreThe other day when Arnie was at my house, he said, “Hey, do you realize you have two heads of cauliflower in the refrigerator? Maybe we should use one.” I tell you Arnie is great to have around as chances are at least one of them would have gone bad because I had forgotten about …

read moreI hadn't made this in a couple of years, but it's a long-time favorite that I haven't shared before. It's kind of a cross between two recipes and since I made it the other day, I thought I'd add it hereI've made this for the crew in the past when I had a small crew of maybe 6. After 38 years of cooking for a cowboy crew, it feels odd to not be feeding them anymore. On one hand, I miss them
read moreI stopped at the thrift store a couple weeks ago and saw that someone had donated their Pioneer Woman cookbooks to the thrift store. Yahoo!! Thanks so much for donating so I could buy them. They were $5 each. It was a little spendy for the thrift store, but I was happy to get them. …

read moreI haven't shared a recipe in a coon's age. I haven't stopped cooking, so I don't know why there's been a dry spell. Sometimes I just forget to take a photo and although I'm not a food photographer, it seems a post ought to be accompanied by a photo.I've been making this for a long time...probably at least 20 years and I made it over Christmas when everyone was here. It's a family favorite
read moreMy daughter Kelli and her kiddos were baking. Kelli was so sweet. She took some pictures and sent the recipe so I could share it here. The only problem was I don’t know how to share the recipe so that you go to the originator’s site. It came from Facebook and I don’t know if …
