Simple and Delicious: Chicken and Rice with Peas
The last few days has been nuts. Just plain nuts. My husband turned 38 and we threw a little birthday party for him ( blog post coming soon). We had more barbeque than you could shake a stick at. We also had lots of friends and lots of kids and lots of fun. I don't think the hubby ever thought 38 would be so much fun. So, the leftovers from this party have been with us since ...
Tasty Tuna Burgers
I have a little confession. I LOVE tuna patties. Love them. I know. It's weird, but I can't help it. I also love cole slaw and I have been a bit of a cole slaw kick lately. So it seemed natural to me to put those two things together on a bun. Oh dear, it was such a good idea. I'm probably going to do it again soon. The best part about this meal is that it is quick and ...
Roasted Red Pepper Pseudo Hummus
Ok, I've got a little secret to tell you. We had our gas cut off the other day. We woke up to nothing. No heat, no hot water and no gas stove. It seems that my gas payment literally got lost in the mail. Oh sure it was a little late anyway, but really I sent the check for the whole thing like 2 weeks ago and they never got it, so Georgia Natural cut us off. The worst part was ...
Oatmeal Cranberry Applesauce Cookies
Okay, so just because I'm dieting doesn't mean that I can't have sweets. Ok it does mean I can't have sweets, but if I have learned anything about myself it's that I cannot live without a cookie on occasion. If I go for too long without some kind of sweet treat my diet will end knee deep in a bowl of raw chocolate chip cookie dough. So, instead of denying myself, I'm limiting ...

Under Pressure: Canning Part 2
Okay, you have collected all of your items on the canning checklist and you have a bushel of vegetables washed and prepped. Many vegetables require pressure canning in order to be stored safely. These foods are low in acid and have to be processed at higher temperatures in order to kill any harmful bacteria such as botulism. These vegetables include green beans, squash, ...
You Can Can-Can Too!!! Part 1
This post contains affiliate links I'm sure you have all been desperately worried about where I have been ( can you detect the sarcasm?), but I assure you that I am perfectly fine. I have been out of town for a while hanging out with my parents in Tennessee and learning a very valuable life skill; how to can food. We country folk like to call it "puttin' up" and it was ...
Beans, Beans, Good for Your…Pasta
Let me tell you a little about myself. I love tulips, trashy novels, my kids and beans. Especially white beans. I could eat them every day and have been eating them every day for the last week. I made a BIG pot of white beans from dry beans and have been using them in cooking all week. Pretty soon, I ran out of ideas. I was digging through the fridge to see what I had for ...
