Not sure how your garden is doing this summer or even if you have a garden. But if you have access to some wonderful fresh veggies you should really make some salsa. I am actually going to make this one when I am done writing this morning. It’s rainy out and I picked some Roma tomatoes, a couple of green peppers and a bunch of … Continue reading Garden Salsa
I made these cookies last week for our #worldwidewednesday family dinner. They were crazy good and I will be adding these; not only to my Christmas baking list but I have plans to make them later today. We have family up for the weekend and who doesn’t need a little treat now and again. The original recipe asked for guava paste but I could not … Continue reading Shortbread thumbprint cookies – Mantecaditos
Sitting here on the porch in a fleece with the dog and my husband. Dog is pecking at me to throw his tennis ball, which he fails to realize that he actually has to let go of it in order for me to throw it… Husband is on my FB marketplace looking for something, anything that peaks his interest. I love seeing ads for tractors, … Continue reading Banana Fritter – Kuih Kodok
Current situation is sitting on the porch even though my hair is getting curlier as I sit here in the very thick humid air. I do have the ceiling fan on and there is a breeze but it’s super quiet and very peaceful out here among the noise of the birds, squirrels, hummingbirds and the wind chime. I hope you have a place that brings … Continue reading Texas Sheet Cake with Zucchini
I was planning on sharing one of the recipes we made this last #worldwidewednesday. We “traveled to Monaco and all food was delicious.

This blondie bar cookie is everything … Continue reading Blondies
Current situation this morning is wondering what I am going to write about. So I start thinking about my Dad who just got out of the hospital yesterday, My father-in-law who I am pretty sure has gotten up and let the dog out but then went to his recliner and is back a sleep. He’s 92 it’s totally legal. And My husband who went to … Continue reading Lemon Curd Phyllo Tartlets
After reading this you might wonder how I could possibly pair the recipe I am going to share versus what I had for dinner last night. The first picture is the recipe I think you should make. All pictures are from my phone. Last night was a gastronomical experience; I think that is the only way to describe it. We met some friends at Stages … Continue reading Hawaiian BLPTS – King’s Hawaiian rolls
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving whatever you chose or were able to do! We had a very nice dinner with a few family members. It takes a lot of time to prepare for a large meal between thinking of what to serve, buying the ingredients, prepping, cooking and cleaning up after for a meal that takes less than 30 minutes to eat. … Continue reading Thanksgiving leftover sliders
I am sitting on the porch again writing today’s blog. So far no turkey or hawk sightings but the hummingbirds are always around and always hungry. Last weeks post I mentioned there were around 6 baby turkey’s. Later that day they all showed up in my back yard and there was actually 12 of them running around. I tried to get a picture but they … Continue reading Zucchini chocolate chip muffins
Current situation is me sitting on my porch with a cup of tea, the hummingbirds having breakfast and watching a turkey and what looks like a half dozen little ones sneaking across my field. Ooooh a hawk just flew over, he either didn’t notice or he’s thinking of coming in for a sneak attack. I’ll keep you posted. Update: the Mom turkey watched the hawk … Continue reading BBQ Brisket Nachos
