TV Dinners 2025

What can be better than a TV Dinner when you don’t feel up to cooking? One that is made by you. I don’t know about you, but rarely can I make a dinner without some leftovers. Sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs – those I can make for a one-and-done supper. The rest? Impossible.

Oh My Yes!

What else can I say but yes! Today is National I Love Food Day and a Tuesday. We all know what that means, right?

Blessed Be This Beautiful Child

To everything there is a season. To everything there is a reason. Nothing in this world is without purpose. It is not always possible to understand. And yet somewhere deep inside we know, we trust, we believe.

Is It Autumn Yet?

Do you have a favorite season? I like it when it’s cold, wet and rainy, but only if I get to stay inside curled up by the fire. I’m not a fan of summer’s heat. Sure, I like the way my skin turns a beautiful bronze color, but you can only take off so much clothing and not get arrested.

The First Saturday in September

Tailgating before the big game kick off is a September tradition. When did this tradition begin? Now that depends upon who you ask and how you want to look at things.

The Beauty of a Pure Heart

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes we see an elderly couple out somewhere, and there is something about the way the old man is looking at his wrinkled wife that tells us to him she is the most beautiful women in the room.

Such a Simple Supper!

What do you think of when you think of a pot roast supper? I have flashbacks of life in the 50s, but not really. I mean, have you seen some of those images?

The Next Best Thing

Welcome to National Baby Back Ribs Day! Guess what? We aren’t making ribs. No, it’s gonna be pork chops instead. What can I say? It’s still a pork recipe.

Oklahoma!

It’s not National Oklahoma Day. That was June 7. Today is not Oklahoma anything, except to revisit a favorite we haven’t had in a while – the Oklahoma Onion Burger.

Labor Day Grilled Chicken

When I was a girl, back in the Stone Age, Labor Day meant just one thing – school would be starting the very next day as fall had arrived. It didn’t matter what the seasonal calendar had to say about it. You started a new school year in the fall, and that was the day after Labor Day.

You Had Me at Barbecue

“You had me at hello” is an expression coined in the 1996 film Jerry McGuire. It’s meaning is clean – no need to say more to convince you of something. You had me at barbecue is just a way of saying I’m all in for the food and socialization of Barbecue.

Make Your Morning Sizzle

Once upon a time my favorite thing to eat at McDonalds was from their breakfast menu. Hubby and I tend to not eat fast food all that often, except when traveling. It’s just a matter of convenience rather than a craving for a Big Mac.

A Tragic End to the Forerunner

So often Christians hear “There is no God. If God truly existed, why would He allow bad things happen to good people?” Really – that’s your question. I know people do struggle with the idea of evil existing in a world said to be created by God. The two seem to be in opposition.

The Fashionable Bow Tie

While most men look dashing in a suit with a tie, and down right dapper in a tux and bowtie, the bowtie on its own isn’t the right look for everyone. Take NCIS’s Ducky – now that was a man who could get away with the bowtie look.

Which is More Amazing

The Burger or the Fries? That is the question of the day. You decide. I present to you two copy-cat recipes from Five Guys.
