Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
This is a family favorite that I started making before we had much of a family. I got the simple recipe from a friend in Memphis, I'm very sure it was Debbie Cameron in 1995, and have been making it for breakfast ever since. I usually put nuts on half, so those who don't care... Continue Reading →
Have you heard of Tasting Table? It's a culinary website that sends me recipes from chefs everyday. This one came from a new James Beard Award winner at a Houston restaurant called Underbelly. I know....it's a high of 93 degrees today but this is something to try, no matter the temperature outside. I found the... Continue Reading →
I had these for the first time at a funeral for a dear friend, they brought me comfort and a sugar coma all at once! My friend Katie Wald made up the recipe and was willing to share it with me, it is by far one of the most requested desserts I make. Chocolate Chokers... Continue Reading →
I love to make birthday cakes. I love to celebrate people and to eat cake, so it just makes sense. My family and closest friends know that my cakes tend to be really ugly, probably because 1) I'm not a perfectionist in any possible way, and 2) I get impatient for the final result and...

This is a newer recipe, but boy, does it work in my house! I had some smoked sausage, so I Googled recipes with it as an ingredient and found this one on Taste of Home's website. I think it's the combination of brown sugar, cider vinegar and mustard that makes it so good. Oh, and... Continue Reading →
We make this smoothie almost every morning, have been for over a year now, it just seems to make the day go better. This time of year I use frozen berries and kale from Costco, but can’t wait to buy them when they are fresh and local. 1 c blueberries 1 c strawberries ½ orange... Continue Reading →
Late last summer I grilled several dozen ears of corn, let them cool and scraped all that goodness off. I froze bags and bags of the stuff so we could have this salsa anytime of the year. I'm pretty sure it's what got my college freshman through her first semester. To make it vegan friendly,... Continue Reading →
This is a quick dinner to put together, start the sauce first because the 'pasta' takes five minutes! In the summer months I don't cook the sauce, I coarsely chop the tomatoes, onions and garlic and pour it over the pasta. 2 zucchinis, peeled and shaved into thin slices like fettucine, drained well 1 T...
