Patriotic Celebration Cupcakes! I have to admit, I love the Red, White and Blue! If you have followed my posts, you will know that our whole family is/has been in the Military….particularly the Navy. The Captain and I are going to a brunch after Church tomorrow and I have been making the dessert, which happens…
I loved Grandma’s Lemonade! Everybody loves lemonade and almost everybody has a recipe (usually in their heads) on how to make a quick pitcher of lemonade. It is a simple process…squeeze a few lemons, add a little sugar, water and ice and you are ready for a summertime fun drink, right? However, do you know…
I love green beans with lemon and this is one of the Captain’s favorites….This recipe is quick and easy and the garlic and lemon bring out the best in the green beans. The Farmers Markets down here in Florida are brimming with those wonderful long green beans and there is something about seeing them…
Just Hangin’ Around…..with my flower baskets…. I really like hanging flower baskets…or perhaps I should rephrase that and say that I like flower baskets that hang from high places…..:) but sometimes I find it hard to keep the baskets watered properly….especially when they are …well, …hanging over my head! Ok…I do have an excuse…
Another Day in Paradise…. When the Captain and I first moved to Florida, we would hear this phrase a lot….. “Oh, it is another day in paradise” I would smile and think perhaps the people calling this “Paradise” were a bit presumptuous. But now, we are one of “them”….Living here is Paradise! We are…
Blueberry French Breakfast Bake! Don’t you just love something that is not only good for you but it tastes good too? That is this wonderful breakfast or brunch Blueberry French Breakfast Bake! Make it the night before and pop it into the oven just before your guests or your family is up and about. The…
I love Fried Chicken! I love Chicken Thighs and the Captain loves Chicken Breasts! Fry N’ Bake….what could be easier? This recipe give us the trilogy…..Fried Chicken Breasts and Thighs and a little Baked thrown in. It is quick and easy because you dredge the chicken and fry to brown each side and finish baking…
I want to wish all a Happy Mother’s Day ….. perhaps some are not Mothers, but I feel everyone is a Mother to someone or something…. whether it be a pet or friend or just by being kind to someone in need. God Bless you All. Proverbs 31:10-31 10A wife of noble character who can…
Mothers Day is tomorrow and what better way to show you care by making this wonderful in-one-skillet (or baking dish) Raspberry French Toast. I used the Four Fruit Preserves by Bonne Maman but it is more expensive than your traditional preserves. *Bonne Maman Four Fruit Preserves can be purchased through Wal-Mart and some Kroger Stores….
Easter Or Mothers Day (or Easter) Simnel Cake is a beautiful decorated cake with a history I find quite interesting. The cake is made from these ingredients: white flour, sugar, butter, eggs, fragrant spices, dried fruits, zest and candied peel The ingredients are much the same as the Christmas fruitcake.
The Merry Month of May’s Krafty Ideas… I had told you in a previous post that I was going to make May Baskets and take to a few of my elderly and not so elderly neighbors…. and I did. Perhaps you are not into Krafty….or should I say crafty ideas and projects. That is ok…
Don’t Touch That Dial…for those of you old enough…you will know what that phrase means. It was a way for advertisers to assure that the viewer did not change channels, but continued to watch through the commercial break. I don’t think they refer to it as a dial any more….probably a remote! 😉 I don’t…
