A Little Help From The Store…..

If y’all know anything about me, it’s that I love to cook and like to make it all myself as a general rule.  Well, you know what?  Life gets in the way sometimes!  And when it does, it’s awfully nice to have something in the freezer that will let you slap dinner on the table [...]

Pepper Steak and Rice

Merciful Lord, I love me some Pepper Steak!  I used to make it all the time, but just sorta quit I guess.  I hadn’t made it in what seemed like forever.  But I decided that was going to be our Sunday night dinner over the weekend.  OH MY, was it ever good!

MAJOR YUM!

Good morning friends and neighbors!  It’s been a while!  Life has been crazy around these parts!  I finally did a little cooking yesterday.  We’ve been so busy with ballgames, work, LIFE lately that I haven’t done a lot of cooking.

My Heart Hurts

No, I’m not having a heart attack.  It’s not a physical pain.  It’s a hurt that comes from knowing there are people out there who simply don’t know good food or don’t have it or can’t get it.  KWIM? 
Once in a while, I meet someone who doesn’t cook.  That is a completely foreign thought to me.  [...]

CHOO CHOO! I’m in Chattanooga!

So I’m in Chattanooga.  The job I do for the state entails me traveling fairly frequently.  The reason I have to travel is to review cases outside my own region in order be an unbiased judge of how well the department is serving children and families.  Anyhoo, this week, it just happens to be Chattanooga.  And I [...]
