Since I have approximately $1.32 in my wallet and a visit to The Cheesecake Factory costs the equivalent of our average electric bill (hey, SOMEBODY'S gotta pay for those faux art murals), I promised to make my daughter a Snickers Cheesecake at home.

Egg rolls are one of those American-ized Chinese treats that we love to order in the restaurant but may find daunting to make at home. But this is easy stuff, people! Once you know how to roll, you'll be dreaming up all kinds of variations! When my nephew, Nicholas, first saw these, he made a face, took a bite and then proceeded to eat about 23. This is dangerously delicious stuff, my friends.

The candy bowl has only been empty for one hour and I’m already feeling too cranky to participate next year. We’ve never been big on all the gore and dark elements of Halloween, but I will admit loving the little ones going door to door in their 100% adorableness. But it’s official….I’m now an old [...]

I've got relatives there in places too small to find on the map...like Bee Spring, Cave City, Drowning Ford, Big Beaver Lick, Sweet Hollow and Hurricane (that's pronounced "Hurr-ah-kin"). And one of the most popular foods we eat there are hush puppies.

From Shoofly pie to Soda Cracker Pudding, Homemade Egg Noodles to Half Moon Pie, Amish recipes are simple, frugal and delish!

I know what you were thinking as you read that last recipe…TWO STICKS of BUTTER!? C’mon, you don’t think I eat like that all the time, do ya? Oh, you do. Well, let me prove you wrong. This is my entry in the Beat the Heat roundup at A Southern Grace. Anyhoo, bulgur (cracked wheat) can be cooked sans heat so it’s perfect for dog days like these. Here’s how.

I checked out a Japanese cookbook and next to the recipes for sushi and miso soup, I found a recipe that would make my cast-iron skillet proud - tonkatsu. Traditionally made from pork, I decided to try the chicken version called simply Chicken Katsu.

Now that my baby, my beloved Canon is restored, I thought it was time to get back to photographing actual food and do I have one for you today. If it’s 95° in the shade where you live, a salad is really the only thing you can imagine right now. But the meat-and-potatoes [...]

This is the wreath on our front porch. It has the assorted plastic greenery including a fake birdnest and fake flowers. So a few weeks ago, we found that a bird had discovered the craft-store faux nest and was hanging out in it. Whenever we opened our front door, this bird flew off. Then my [...]

So my friend, Sandy (who has an excellent blog by the way) designs books for publishing. She heard that I was mourning my camera so she sent me a copy of a great cookbook that she’s just finished working on called Troy Mill Farms Cookbook - Our Favorite Strawberry Recipes. Isn’t she [...]

I’d like your undivided attention for ten minutes. If you never read another post of mine, I hope it’s this one. The rising cost of food worldwide is impacting us all. In the United States, we are inconvenienced. In Haiti, a family is eating dirt. In the United States, we are using more coupons. In Nigeria, 76% of [...]
