One Last Post

I am sad to say that this will be my last post. Going over my finances, I realized that I could no longer cover the expense of this blog. It is sad for me, as I feel as if I have so many recipes still to share, however, if I am honest, I’m having aContinue reading “One Last Post”

Do You Know the Words?

Something I think I’ve always kind of taken for granted was knowing the words to our national anthem. It was brought to my attention of late, that not everyone does. That’s such a shame! Fear not! I have your back, fellow bloggers and friends! I humbly give you Francis Scott Keys beautiful words: “O say,Continue reading “Do You Know the Words?”

Tastes Like Rotisserie Chicken Thighs

The other day I was trying to figure out food to make from what I had on hand. It was a day for chicken, and so I had taken that out of the freezer and thawed it.

Grandpa’s Snotball Pudding

For this post, I must start with a story. This story was from my Grandpa B, who had the best stories! My Grandpa grew up in a Lutheran orphanage. He was raised there because his mother and many brothers and sisters died from tuberculosis. This left his fifty-year-old father alone with a four-year-old little boy.
