A friend of mine had a few friends over recently. Several of us haven’t seen each other since before Early December so there was much need to celebrate and catch up! Since there were New Years resolutions and health conscious goals, I tried to find something to bring that was celebratory without being super rich… Continue reading

Chicken Soup, It’s What the Doctor Ordered!
As you know, the family was sick through Christmas. I managed to catch a minor cold this week, so chicken soup is on the menu. It’s a simple and basic recipe that my mom taught me. Hopefully you won’t get sick, but hopefully you’ll still try the soup to warm your bones on these chilly… Continue reading
Let’s Roll!
My apologies for a lapse in the cooking and blog writing. My family is a bit under the weather this holiday season. I’m recovering from surgery. I had a little cancer that had to be removed, so my doctor successfully removed my thyroid and some lymph nodes. They say that I won’t even miss them!… Continue reading
Nice to Meat Ya!
We’re not Italian and can’t even pretend to be. This meat sauce hails from a recipe from my grandma’s cookbook that was labeled “Hungarian goulash”? Last I checked, we’re not Hungarian and this recipe doesn’t seem very Hungarian either? In any case, it’s the meat sauce that I grew up with. My mom has adapted… Continue reading
Heat Wave Cooking
I don’t mean that I have some fancy schmancy “Heat Wave” or confectioner’s oven or anything. I am referring to the unbearable heat that Southern California has been experiencing this Summer and into now October! We’ve had record highs and unusual humid days like the South. I can’t begin to know for sure how prayers… Continue reading
It’s a Wrap! Lettuce Wrap, that is.

Please Sir, May I Have S’more?
I went camping this year. I even have witnesses. It’s not a regular occurrence for me, but occasionally I like it. To be clear, I like the outdoors – the scenery, most of the smells, trees and stuff. I’m not an avid camper though, so I have no equipment to make camping easy. I have… Continue reading
Glutton for Southernment
I recently traveled to Tennessee to visit extended family for the funeral services of Mary Ann. On the last day, we wanted to eat brunch before we left our separate ways and tried to determine where to go for a Southern experience. There was a good discussion of Midlands vs. Cracker Barrel vs. Waffle House… Continue reading
Cornbread Comfort
For me, food and recipes connect me to family and friends. Smells of chicken and garlic always transport me to my dad’s kitchen while just chopping broccoli gives me giggles reminding me of prepping for a Jackson party! My best friend’s mom recently passed away and I will always think of the great times that… Continue reading
Pie for Breakfast!
Breakfast Pie is a hit with most people, so I thought I’d start with a crowd favorite. I found this recipe on pinterest so I can’t say it’s my original thought but I can tell you what works with it. Eggs, cheese, hash browns, green onions – totally works. Bacon – absolutely works! You will… Continue reading
