Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
Sausage gravy is a quintessential comfort food. It is warm, substantial, and evokes contentment. It is one of those things that you make occasionally when you and(or) the weather are gloomy. It is great for breakfast when you need to feed a crowd. It holds very well in a slow cooker, which is great for holiday mornings […]
The plan was to make the chocolate peanut butter sauce that I found in my Taste of Toronto (Ohio that is) Cookbook to take to an ice cream sundae giveaway. I made the sugar syrup and let it cool, placed the peanut butter in the bowl, and went to the refrigerator to get the chocolate syrup only […]
Okra was not that much of a thing when I lived in West Virginia and Ohio. However, my parents raised okra in our garden because my mom thought it would be fun and she LOVED okra and tomatoes. I don’t remember okra being a popular item with anyone outside of my immediate and extended family. […]
I originally developed a quick, short-cut dairy-free cream of mushroom soup just so my husband could eat one of his favorite side dishes, green bean casserole. It is almost the same as my dairy-free condensed soup alternative, just with a few changes. My daughter also really likes green bean casserole, so I had her taste test […]
My dad had quite a sweet tooth. During the summer months, we would often go out for an evening drive and get ice cream. He LOVED chocolate and so did my little sister. My mom and I could take it or leave it…mainly leave it. While they usually ordered some sort of chocolate ice cream, […]

As a child, I only remember eating commercially canned peaches at school or, on a rare occasion, in a restaurant. I also remember that I could not believe how awful they tasted compared to the home-canned peaches that I normally ate. As an adult, I realize that my child eats home-canned peaches about as often as I […]
Grilled Sweet Tea Pork Chops with Spiced Peaches may be the epitome of summer in the South. The sweet tea brine results in flavorful and tender chops. The brine also makes the pork chops easier to grill without drying them out. Grilled Sweet Tea Pork Chops are easy to make, but they do require a […]
My husband is kind of obsessed with cold dessert soups. It is really ironic because most are made with dairy, and he is allergic to dairy. Recently, he insisted on adapting the Strawberry Soup recipe and making blueberry soup for the community free lunch soup at our church. With my daughter as his taste tester, […]
Some of the best dishes I developed seem to have started off as a mistake. This recipe came about because I intended to make bean and cheese stuffed poblano peppers, but the peppers did not hold their shape because I lost my mind and blistered the skins off of them. No, you are not suppose […]
