My 15 month old grandson is teetering around my home office with a smear of dark chocolate on his chin and a big toothy grin on his face. It’s not appropriate to give chocolate to a baby, so don’t do it. I shouldn’t have admitted this to you. Besides, what if his mother reads this …
Why does Kentucky get to claim the easiest, tastiest, fluffiest, butteriest, simplest, richest, dog gone BEST pound cake everrrrrr? Isn’t Kentucky known for wildcats, NOT cakes! Might be, but This Easy Kentucky Pound Cake Proves that Butter has Never Looked Better and will have your grandma saying, “Well Smack My Mouth! I have to have …
It is an itch you just HAVE to scratch. No, It’s not a skin fungus – silly. It is a metaphorical itch. An itch to do something memorable and spectacular. Perhaps your itch is to do something you never did before. You want to complete a “bucket list” item? Conceivably, you might need to figure …
Amidst the festivities I know it seems a little difficult to know exactly what to do when someone says, “Hey, why don’t ya’ll come over for dinner on Friday?” or “Hey, let’s have a potluck for work – everyone bring something”. As for me, I work from home and my coworker is Pete. Pete never …
Here is my one sentence commercial for these classic Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookies: A tasty crunchy and yet chewy classic peanut butter cookie that is super simple and uses what you probably already have in your pantry!
Old Time Broccoli Opposite Salad The smell is UNGODLY (not this salad! the smell in my car!!) I am pretty sure we will have to sell my car because that smell will NEVER come out. My experience with car smells is, a bad smell happens, there is no getting it out, you must sell the car. …
Grandma’s Maple Pumpkin Bread. It’s the only thing you need to get through a day like today. All in one day, sweet hubby ran an incredible fever, the dog vomited on the floor, the teenager was late coming home from a date AND the horse began to limp. You’ve had days like this, right?
SPECIAL THANKS: To Deiss for sending over a zester and a peeler! Were you just thinking that you would love to eat some fresh fall peaches? Maybe cook them up in a cobbler or a pie? Me TOO! That is exactly what I was thinking! Old Fashioned Peaches and Cream Pie is JUST what came …
The cookbooks for the giveaway on this post are a gift from Kix Brooks but the cookbook review and the recipe are all mine. I have a Major MAJOR dilemma! There is something I REALLY want to do tonight when I get off work!!! However, I DO need to fix SOMETHING for the Mr and …
Sometimes you just have to give in to the urge. That’s what I’ve been doing with these S’mores Cookie Bars. We didn’t have a bonfire all summer – not a single one. No campfire while we were at the beach. Nothing. There were NO opportunities for S’mores in my life this summer. And now, sadly, …
Come on ya’ll! It’s Time to make WHOOPIE! (PUMPKIN SPICE WHOOPIE COOKIES, THAT IS!) ‘Cause, you know, pumpkin spice everything! These cookies are full of that pumpkin flavor WE love and are SO EASY to make you won’t even believe it.
I DID eat some diet food! While I was waiting for this Pepperoni Meatball Sub Casserole to bake! The diet food is called a salad and it goes perfectly with this Pepperoni Meatball Sub Casserole. The best news is that salads are easy to fix and this Pepperoni Meatball Sub Casserole is too making dinner …
I think there is a rule about how many pork roasts one can make in a single week. I have now broken that rule. I’m embarrassed to say, I still can’t get enough. The Sprakers might be eating Slow Cooked Crock Pot Cuban Sandwich again in the next few days, don’t tell the Sweet Hubby, …
Today’s post is sponsored by Uncommon Goods who generously gave me TWO SETS of salts to use as a giveaway for my wonderful readers plus a set to use for this post. The $50 gift certificate and the cookbook are compliments of Loaves and Dishes. This is probably one of the funnest giveaways I have …
Sometimes you just want a little taste of home. Where is that exactly? For me, it is more of a time than a place. Home is back in the 1970’s where my days always ended having accomplished at least a few of the following: a scraped knee, a scraped elbow, a bicycle ride, the sweaty …
My cup is always more than half full! Guess what happens when I am sick? I learn about all kinds of new TV programs that I might never have discovered! I think I told you one time before about how I had been binge watching Ramen Noodle cooking shows on Netflix (food GEEK!) and that …
Today, we, (meaning sweet hubby [Mr. Loaves and Dishes] and I ) are on day 8 of what we could lovingly call “a cold” but for these writing purposes, I’ll just call it “THE snotty coughing death”. And while I had some lovely recipes planned that included a new spaghetti dish as well as a …
Who me? Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting over here munching on my Carolina Christmas Beans just like I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I thought we might need an alternative to Green Bean Casserole – I mean, I LOVE Green Bean Casserole – but, I’m a little tired of it, aren’t …
Why? Why oh why would I post a recipe for the perfect roasted turkey on the day AFTER Thanksgiving? Am I just being mean? Am I dense? Did someone hit me in the head while I was Black Friday shopping? Is my calendar a day off? Nope. The issue is that 99% of the time …
