I love family, cooking, crafts, animals, nature and working with mentally and physically challenged adults.
Did you enjoy eating Lucky Charms as a kid? Do you enjoy eating Peeps? How about marshmallows toasted over a fire? If you answered yes and have a dehydrator or oven, you have to try these! I have dehydrated small marshmallows before but never Peeps. I keep seeing posts about how delicious these are. I know I like to munch on […]
How many of you save your left over Bacon Grease? Do you remember your Grandma or Mom having a tin coffee can sitting on their stove that they just kept pouring the Bacon Grease into? They knew they had something good and they used it! After all, it has so many benefits. It’s free, all natural, has incredible flavor and can be added […]
Corned Beef was half price because of St. Patty’s Day next week. We bought two and I will be posting some recipes this week that I love. Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage cooks in the slow cooker all day which makes it so delicious, tender and moist. It is very simple to make. Place the potatoes, carrots, onions, salt […]
Shrimp Enchiladas are one of my favorite seafood meals and they were made by my hubby! Loaded with shrimp, creamy cream cheese filling and other added flavors…OMG! You could even change it up and exchange the shrimp for crab meat. I topped them off with our own home grown thyme for garnish. I was able to transplant my sage and thyme from the garden […]
Another fun day with the grandchildren. My granddaughter turns 6 in a few days. Today she asked me to pull out her loose tooth. It was so small I couldn’t get a good grip on it. I wrapped dental floss around the base of the tooth and pulled it right out onto her lap with no pain! Although she was very happy to get the […]
I have always wanted to try Beet Pickled Eggs. I love pickles and I love beets so I knew I would love Beet Pickled Eggs. I made them using the juice of Pickled Beets. Terry does not like beets and would not try these so I only made a few. I use to can my own Pickled Beets and ate them […]
I use a lot of Pure Vanilla Extract in baking. How many of you knew it was made with alcohol? In my opinion, there is not a Pure Vanilla Extract that tastes or smells as good as homemade. You won’t want to purchase Imitation Vanilla again once you see how SIMPLE it is to make Pure Vanilla Extract. There are only two ingredients, 70 […]
Terry, my wonderful husband, wanted to surprise me with a dish he has never made before. It was very easy and quick to make. Since he does the grocery shopping (lucky me) he bought frozen chicken pieces that were already cooked and breaded along with frozen stir fry veggies. He found the bottle of Orange Sauce in the Asian food aisle. Sounds pretty easy doesn’t […]
When I was a kid, my parents always encouraged me to try many different types of food. I think the only food I didn’t like was onion and green peppers. When my mom made stuffed green peppers, she always made me a separate pot of the stuffing with the green pepper left out. I still do not like green pepper today. Dad was […]
