I don’t really care for fresh cucumbers, I don’t dislike them I just prefer other veggies when given a choice. I do, however, LOVE sweet relish and pickles. So I planted a bunch of Pickling Cucumber seeds. And they came up. And then they died. I should really find another hobby…they looked just like my…
Cookies make people nice. If you see a mean, out-of-sorts person, just give’em a cookie. It won’t fix their problem but it will probably make them smile. Unless they can’t have sugar, then all you have done is make things worse. Or if they are allergic to nuts and you give them a peanut butter…

What is better then fresh blackberries? Fresh blackberries that your mom picked for you! This is exactly what my darling mother did for me and I promptly turned the gift into a cobbler whose future included vanilla Bluebell ice cream. Within 2 hours the cobbler was no more. I have found with a ravenous husband and…

Everyone loves my balls. My CAKE balls that is! As a matter of fact I happen to know there are people who love me for this reason and this reason alone. I’m okay with that. And if you are needing to feel some extra love, wanting to impress someone with your wicked baking skills or simply have…
My favorite person I’ve never met is Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Women. Anytime I need a sure enough good recipe and am hankering to try something new I head over to her blog and am never disappointed! So this last weekend I needed a fast, easy dessert to take to a lake party. …
