Pico de Gallo….such a simple combination of flavors of items you most likely have in your pantry. If I am having any kind of Mexican food….you can be sure there will be pico de gallo sitting on the side to add to any dish. I love it sprinkled on the top of enchiladas, tamales, chimachangas,…
One of those days…we have all had them. When “my dancing friend across the pond” visited me a few weeks ago….she mentioned that things just seem to be going great with my postings on my Blog…. But she hinted that she hadn’t seen any of my vulnerability. I have tried to look at the glass…
Pumpkin Granola! I have to admit that granola is growing on me….well, not actually growing on me personally in the literal sense, but I am liking granola more and more these days. I made the Pumpkin Sheet Cake earlier in the week and I had a small amount of pumpkin left over and decided to make granola….
Chocolate Chip Cookies…. I have loved chocolate chip cookies since I was knee high to a grasshopper! Love, Love Love ’em. As I have stated in a previous post…the Captain and I made a whirlwind visit back to Kansas and Missouri last week. While visiting Oldest Son….he just happened to have baked chocolate chip cookies…
“Playing By Heart“…Book Review! My dear readers. I am going to stray just a bit from my usual “Confessions – Over the Hedge”, to post a book review. I am an avid reader….and dabble a bit in my own fictional writing, as I have stated in previous posts. The book I am reviewing is “Playing…
Pumpkin Sheet Cake is a wonderful recipe that I found back in the Fall of 1991. The recipe was in a home made church cookbook that has since been tattered and torn, but it is still readable. 🙂 I loved that little church in the New Mexico Manzano Mountains….and we ladies got together to…
St. Petersburg….The Captain’s Alumni Banquet! I have yet another confession to make. 🙁 Yes, there was the usual pomp and circumstance, such as the raised swords as alumni entered the building. The tables were set beautifully with little blue airplanes marking the table numbers. Military uniforms and Aviation memorabilia everywhere. There was even a huge…
Round Robin! We made a Round Robin! What a whirlwind this past week has been! I am dizzy from it! What? you say…. As many of you know who know me…..we have children scattered hither and yon with none of them in Cape Coral, where we live. ;( Most people who live in Florida complain…
“She” ????? It is confession time…again! The Captain came home from one of his “tours”…in other words flying, (working) and he brought me a present! Well, sort of a present! He had heard a song…an old song, but he loved the lyrics and thought they were appropriate to/for/about ME!!! The melody is haunting….which might explain…
Fall Decor Can Be Easy… I have a dear friend….(I call her Queenie)….and she was asking me the other day for a few ideas on simple decorating for Fall. (Click on the original post at Turn a Cake Plate into Holiday Decor from last November of using a domed cake plate to hold pinecones etc!) Queenie…
CrockPot Dump Cake…Yum! Fall is in the air and it is World Series Time…and this year Kansas City fans have lots to cheer about! 😉 But I digress….Lets talk about the ease of making a dump cake. Have you heard of dump cakes? The meaning is simple…you dump in the ingredients all at once ……
World Series…The Dream is Real! If you have been following my Blog…you will note my enthusiasm for Sports…particularly Kansas City sports, ie; The Kansas City Chiefs (Football) and the Kansas City Royals (Baseball) and the Kansas Jayhawks (College Basketball)! (If you missed my posts on this journey…you may click on the below posts) The Blue…
