So fall is on its way and I can feel it in the air. I am a BIG Fall lover and can’t get enough Football (GO DOGGERS!, BOOMER SOONER! & GO CRIMSON STORM!) In case you have no idea who I am rooting for, this would be our local high school football team, the Dewey… Continue reading Barbecued Short Ribs of Beef… er… Pork?

Today I needed comfort food and to use the Zucchini that I had bought to make this recipe. This turned out to be the best day to bake weather-wise since the rain we had early this morning cooled the air. AND I got new glasses and needed to try them out on reading and blogging.… Continue reading And the Winner Is?! Zucchini Oat Banana Bread

Okay, so it’s been a few years since I have worked with Zucchini and I had forgotten that this is one veggie that goes a LONG way. In preparation for the next blog entry I shredded all three of my Zucchini that I had. I was thinking that for this recipe, I would need all… Continue reading I Have Zucchini Running Out of My Ears!

Yesterday I was sitting here on the couch researching things for future blogs when I noticed this little bird trying to see through my storm door. I grabbed up the camera and attempted to get a good shot of him/her while they flitted around my hummingbird feeders and the lilac bush. I had noticed that… Continue reading Hummingbirds – what dainty little creatures

I have been thinking of ways to de-clutter my space. There are the usual routes of spending hours going through my stuff and either bagging/boxing it up and sending to to the Goodwill or to some other charitable organization for a tax deduction (which I rarely take). Then I found out about a few places… Continue reading De-Cluttering Your Space and a Virtual Garage Sale?

Just so you know, I will be adding more recipes in the cookies, cakes, and pies sections in the coming days. These sections are no where near complete and since I took 2 days off to cook up some goodies for you all to try, I am having to play catch-up. If you missed them,… Continue reading New Recipes – Well, Old Ones Being Added!

My grandma Demorest loved to sing. Growing up, I remember weekends, summer breaks, and holiday breaks spent at her house – probably to give my parents a break from the “only child” syndrome I seemed to be afflicted with! On any given morning you might hear a rooster crow or the dog barking at something,… Continue reading Sweet Music to my Ears and Cold Salad

I wasn’t too sure about this recipe. 1. the husband is not too inclined to eat casseroles and 2. The  original recipe was full of backtracks, zig-zags, and afterthoughts but who can resist a challenge in the kitchen? NOT ME! I have edited the recipe and published it. So here goes: Beef Garden Casserole 1 lb.… Continue reading Beef Garden Casserole – YUMMY!

The original recipe, by a friend of Grandma G’s, looked quite similar to those that I have used in the past so I thought I would start with it. It wouldn’t be too time consuming, the husband would surely love them, and I would be well on my way to getting this blog going. So,… Continue reading The demise of this highly anticipated nobake chocolate cookie

A few weeks back my dad, husband and I were looking at several tables lined with items from my paternal grandparents lives. A few days before, I was looking in a shed of my maternal grandparents things. In the middle of all that, my biological sister arrived with items from our Paternal grandmother’s life. One… Continue reading A walk down Memory Lane
