I love family, cooking, crafts, animals, nature and working with mentally and physically challenged adults.
For those of you who are new to my blog, about once a week I give a review on a gadget. We love gadgets and over our years together have accumulated a lot of them. This is an appliance but what I consider a gadget because I don’t use it all the time. Do you remember when the Showtime Rotisserie […]

I made this Easy Blueberry Pie with our homegrown blueberries. However, my blueberries were frozen. I only have two blueberry bushes and I get about 2 cups of berries per day.

Cheesy bacon goodness on top of so many different flavors that go great together! I love making and eating casseroles. I like being able to clean up all the dishes so that when it comes time to eat…there aren’t many left to do! I also like eating casseroles as leftovers. Why is it they taste even better the next day?
