I’m a sucker for a good chicken casserole. What better way to use up leftover chicken than to throw it in a big pan with lots of creamy goodness? And this chicken casserole is one of my favorites. My mother-in-law claims that she can’t cook as good as she used to, but every time she […]

I know, I know…y’all wanna drop-kick me to next week for going MIA onĀ you, right? Well at least I have a good excuse. A short while ago (about 7 weeks to be exact) my hubby took a job working in Dead Horse, Alaska (Prudhoe Bay). Since he left, sickness has taken ahold in my […]

In the past, I’ve admitted my undying love for sandwiches of all kinds. If it’s meat (or even veggies for that matter) between bread with some cheese, I’m likely to fall head over heals in love with it upon first bite. These little sammies are no exception. I tasted these for the first time at […]

I read online somewhere today that it’s National Peanut Butter Day? Peanut Butter is reason enough for me to celebrate, how about you? Peanut butter is one of those things that I couldn’t live without if I tried. It’s so creamy (or crunchy), sweet, nutty, delicious. I just can’t get enough of it, especially when […]

I hadn’t planned to share this recipe with you, at least not this year. I made them for the first time last weekend during our marathon baking/candy making day here at my house and after the first taste I told myself there was no way these babies weren’t going on the blog. Each year my […]

A sweet family friend of ours, Mrs. Doris, was kind enough to share her grandmother’s Peanut Butter Fudge recipe. I’ve longed for a good peanut butter fudge recipe for years, and this one is it! It’s simple, creamy, and delicious…just what you want in a fudge recipe. I feel sure your guests would love a […]

Growing up, my family always went to my uncle’s house for breakfast on Christmas morning. It was one of my favorite times of the season, a time when we could go show off all of our new toys from Santa while enjoying time spent with family and diving into a delicious omelet made just to […]

This recipe is another one that goes way back. My sweet aunt, Fran, has been making these cookies for our family every year for Christmas for as long as I can remember. Fran is married to my mom’s brother, Buster, and they have lived away from home more often than not over the years. Even […]
