Who needs plain hash browns when you can have this delicious Cheesy Hash Brown Con Queso Loaf.

Cabbage Cooked in Chicken Stock
March 8, 2014 by 22 Comments
Whether you like cabbage as a side dish or as a main dish (which is how I like it), you’ll love it even more if it’s cooked in a tasty chicken broth or stock. Sometimes, I will have a meal with just greens and cornbread, cabbage and cornbread or any type of beans with cornbread. Today, I wanted cabbage. To really enjoy cabbage, I cook it in chicken stock/broth. It gives it that savory flavor. So delicious! If you

It’s almost Mardi Gras! So, take out your decorations and start planning a menu for celebrating. Mardi Gras is March 4th. In our house, we love a good celebration. Who doesn’t love a time to entertain, eat, dance and decorate. I’m a southern girl from Mississippi. I went to school about 3 hours away from New Orleans. A lot of my friends at college would drive down to New Orleans for “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi

Yesterday, I opened a can of chicken noodle soup and had some with a slice of homemade cornbread. It was so good! So, of course, you know what I was thinking. I can make this myself. Who needs canned soup when you can make it homemade. I think what really made it so good was the homemade cornbread. In our house, you can’t have soup, unless you have homemade cornbread. It goes

We woke up to lots of snow in Maryland! My kids are normally very excited about the sight of snow. However, they were a little disappointed since school doesn’t officially start for them until January 6th. When they think of snow, they think of being out of school due to school being closed because of bad weather. Oh, well. Perhaps it will snow again on January 5th. Of course, the snow brought on the lovely
How to Make Deviled Eggs
December 29, 2013 by 28 Comments
One of my favorite dishes is deviled eggs. I love them during the summer, spring, winter and fall. I make them different ways depending on the mood that I’m in and how hungry I am. If I’m hungry, it’s a simple recipe. For some reason, whenever I think about deviled eggs, I think about potato salad. After preparing back-to-back big dinners (Thanksgiving and Christmas), I was in the mood for something a

I love that the cold weather has arrived! What does that mean to me? It means stews, soups, and chicken and dumplings arriving on our table. This is a favorite winter dish in our house during the winter months. I cooked up a nice pot of chicken and dumplings today. It helps to warm the body and the heart. It’s quite simple to make, too. Just follow the directions below and
Making Homemade Jelly from Grape Juice

On my last post, I made homemade peanut butter. Well, you can’t have peanut butter without jelly. So, this week, I’m making homemade jelly. I have one daughter who likes jelly sandwiches and one that likes peanut butter sandwiches. The first time we made this jelly, it was for a homeschooling lesson with my youngest daughter. I’ve made it a couple of times, now. It’s pretty simple to make and
I love Homemade Peanut Butter!
November 4, 2013 by 54 Comments
Why do I love homemade peanut butter? I love it because it’s homemade and there’s no sodium/salt in it. High blood pressure runs in my family. So, I try to cook and eat most things that do not include a lot of sodium. Peanut butter is definitely a favorite food item in our house. I’ve been making it homemade for quite
