  • Food is how I feel but it’s not all I feel. Does that make sense? It’s been quite a summer, 2025, hasn’t it? And now we are fully into fall and I am feeling all the fall feels….pumpkin and cider and apple images are dancing in my head and I’m not too happy about losing Read more

  • I find myself at a crossroads about food, summer heat and also this: I’m worried about some loved ones. Can they get some relief? Thanks in advance, Creator God of all things loving and loved. First things first: I have one dear one who passed away and I am SO very sad that she passed Read more

  • Mom’s the word! I’ve had writer’s block. It’s not a big deal because other than this blog and a future recipe book I have no deadlines. However, I pride myself in being a decent writer. I used to write poems and songs. For the longest time, I have had a journal that I write in Read more

  • My Cream of Veggie Soup

    I created a soup today! I wanted to begin using vegetables that I have avoided for much of my life. Today, it was fennel that I incorporated into a recipe! I loved it! I’m sorry that I’ve avoided it for so long. But there’s no time like the present to add it into my cooking Read more

I am calling it Chili Read more

  • Tuesday, June 23, 2020 Brunswick Stew is a hearty dish!  I looked up its origin and found it’s been around since 1898, and most likely first made in Georgia. I remember it as one of my grandmother’s (Meme) dishes. Actually I remember the one time so I really don’t know if she perfected it by Read more

  • Basic Pimento Cheese

    Wednesday, June 17, 2020 Pimento Cheese….it’s a real southern thing! And it seems like everyone has their own take on it, including me! Well, I mix it up sometimes, depending on my partakers.
