Maybe it’s that Okie influenced childhood of mine, but anything cooked up in a big cast iron skillet just calls out “homespun goodness”. I don’t care what you make in a cast iron skillet, from fried chicken to Southern Biscuits, it just brings a sense of comfort.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
A Spicy Sunday Morning
Recently I came across a recipe for Omelette Muffins utilizing bacon bits. It inspired me to create my own rendition of this simple concept.
Continue reading “A Spicy Sunday Morning”Pray for Those Departed
November is traditionally dedicated to prayers for those in purgatory. Many devout Catholics worldwide will visit the graves of the departed on All Souls’ Day.

Over the years, Hubby has allowed me (or put up with) my obsession for all things Christmas. From watching every sappy Hallmark Movie ever made, to hunting down ugly sweaters and insisting everyone wear one to matching PJs when Kiddo was a wee one. Love it all.
Continue reading “Is It Time To Decorate Yet?”O Blessed Be the Saints
Today is the first of November. Before we get into all that this Day of Holy Oblation holds, I want to touch on the theme of November. Each month throughout the year, the Church has attached a theme. October, for example, was the Month of the Rosary.

It makes perfect sense that October 31 – Halloween – would be National Caramel Apple Day. When I was a little girl Trick or Treating was very different from today.

In case you haven’t guest, today is National Candy Corn Day. I must be one of the few people on the planet that actually likes candy corn. When I was a kid, I could gobble it down like no body’s business. Not so much now that I’m an adult, but I don’t hate it either.
Continue reading “Hey Hey It’s Candy Corn Day”Haunts and Spice
Oh me oh my – is it really nearly the end of October? It’s been one very crazy month – just an extension of one very upside down year. The farm sits empty now. No animals, no orchards and no family. It breaks my heart on so many levels.
Continue reading “Haunts and Spice”The Apostles Simon and Jude
Today is the Feast Day of Simon the Zealot and Jude the Apostle. They share a feast day not because they died together, but because in life they are often associated as an evangelizing team. The most widespread tradition is that first Simon evangelized in Egypt, then joined Jude in proclaiming the Good News throughout Persia and the surrounding areas.

Semper Fidelis – Aways Faithful. Most of us recognize the motto of the Marine Corps. So that got me to wondering what is the motto of the Navy? Would you believe our sailors technically don’t have an official motto.

Today is once again Tennessee Day. With the exception of our 2020 The Flavors of Tennessee, the following three years have all been recipes incorporating Bourbon or Whiskey in one form or another.
Continue reading “A Tennessee Countryside”One Spicy Friday Night
Today is one of those fun, unhealthy National Days. It’s Breadstick Day and Greasy Food Day. When it comes to breads of any kind, I am in diner’s heaven. Unfortunately, as a diabetic watching what’s left of my figure, bread is not my friend.
Continue reading “One Spicy Friday Night”Saint Raphael Archangel
Raphael the Archangel is recognized in all three major religions of the world. He is mentioned by name in the Book of Tobit and 1 Enoch. Jewish tradition tells us Raphael was one of three heavenly visitors entertained by Abraham at the Oak of Mamre.
Continue reading “Saint Raphael Archangel”Wild Card Texas Toast
Wild Card Wednesdays are some of my most favorite days. It means at the dinner table anything goes – from Chinese Take Out Inspired to a hand-tossed pizza. It’s a time to try new things, experiment a bit, let my mood dictate the meal.
Continue reading “Wild Card Texas Toast”One Amazing Saint
Today is the feast day of a beloved man many saw as a saint while he was still alive. Like Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II was a beacon in the darkness. For the better part of my adult life, he was our Pope.
