More pictures from our driving adventure out west. Some pictures are from old Route 66 and others are places we stopped at. I was impressed by how well maintained most of the open businesses on old Route 66 looked. How cool would it be to sleep in a wigwam! OK maybe not, but I had to get a picture. I […]
Ruth Wakefield discovered NESTLE TOLL HOUSE COOKIES by accident. In the 1930’s, in her restaurant called The Toll House Inn, Ruth made her butter drop cookies and was out of bakers chocolate. She did have a Nestle chocolate bar that was semi sweet so she broke it into small pieces and added them to her butter drop cookies. Thinking the […]
I have plenty of basil in the garden so I thought I would make pesto with it. I didn’t have any pine nuts and I didn’t even notice they weren’t in there. This is a perfect recipe for those that are allergic to nuts or need a sauce in about 5 minutes. This recipe is packed with flavor and it’s […]
We arrived at the Cadillac Cars and the street was lined with parked cars. The concrete barrier and pavement were covered in spray paint. It was fun reading where people came from and their messages. This is where you bought the spray paint and how they make their money to keep going. By the looks of the truck and trailer, […]

On our vacation out west we discovered the fun at Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brewery on Rt 66 in Amarillo, Texas. Learn how to tackle the 72 oz steak challenge and enjoy delicious food. The signs may need a touch up but the restaurant was wonderful! I wonder if they are trying to keep the kids out? Front of […]
Have you ever tasted HUSH PUPPIES? If you live in the south and order a fried seafood meal, chances are that you probably have. Hush Puppies are made from thick cornmeal batter, shaped into balls or other shapes and deep fried. They are crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and delicious. How did Hush Puppies get […]
Don’t be afraid of the word Ganache. It is an easy no bake pie with only four ingredients. A good quality chocolate makes this taste even better. Place the pie crust in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Take it out when you get ready to pour the ganache into it. You can make a homemade crust, but I like […]
Pops 66 is a Landmark diner and gas station with hundreds of sodas, a shop & a 66 foot tall soda bottle out front. We didn’t have any problem finding this one! My husband was anxious to see the inside. There were pop bottles everywhere. There were coolers full of pop along with all the windows. Plus they had a […]
