“live for the moments you can’t put into words” Since Ronnie was helping Jonathyn build the fence, my son-in-law Isaiah made the ribs. They came out delicious! My kids will help out any chance they get. I’ve been blessed with these amazing kids. 2 racks of ribs olive oil brown sugar salt, pepper, garlic powder,…

Mama’s Sponge Cake
“live – love – bake” Another memory of my Mama was her sponge cake, she would make this when unexpected company would visit. She always amazed me, she would say she would rather clean her house than cook or bake. Mama definitely missed her calling, because everything she made was delicious. I would sit with…
Summer Nights
“good company and summer nights” Another beautiful night spent with family and good friends. Tonight I’m making my niece Giana a special dinner. She has been with us all summer because she had an internship in our area. She requested a few of her favorite recipes; my “go to chicken” and pasta with countertop sauce….
Peanut Butter treats for Remy
“all you need is love and a dog” I used to make homemade treats for Cyrus; he was a wonderful dog who passed away far too young. It was hard to get over his death, so my son Anthony adopted another dog to make the transition easier for all of us. So along came Remy…
Stefanie’s “go to chicken” with a twist
“dinner is not what you do in the evening before something else. dinner is the evening” – Art Buchwald So I decided to make my “go to chicken” but I wanted to do something different with it. As I was putting it in the oven it came to me, I took it out and I…
Asparagus and Tomato Frittata
“it’s a good day to have a good day” As I am doing all my errands this morning, I’m thinking about what we can have for dinner. It’s been so hot out this week that cooking is the last thing I want to think about. All I can say is thank heavens for air conditioning….
Shepherds Pie – Stefanie’s way
“cooking well doesn’t mean cooking fancy” Julia Child When Ronnie and Anthony decided to do a sugar free challenge for 2 weeks, I thought it sounded reasonable. I was so very wrong, everything has sugar in it! I was excited to find out that polenta doesn’t have sugar in it, and that’s what I’ve been…
Baking with Mia
“it’s the little memories that will last a lifetime” Today I get to spend time with only Mia. It doesn’t happen often; usually I have 2 or 3 of my granddaughters at a time. So for breakfast she requested homemade pound cake, which means I am going to be baking this morning. I’ve tried so…
Hotdogs Wrapped in Crescent Rolls
“keep life simple” These are another one of my favorite “go to” recipes when I have company. I love anything made with crescent rolls. My children joke with me that I invite people over just so I can make these. So today I’m having company, and I get to make them, Yay! You can use…
Mama’s Carrot recipe
“if God had intended us to follow recipes, He wouldn’t have given us grandmothers” This is another one of my grandmother’s recipes with no measurements. It’s hard to make a recipe taste like my grandmother’s when she didn’t measure anything, so I just cross my fingers and hope for the best. It always comes out…
