Boston Cream PieBecause I’m just all about the “new” today.I like my new layout a great deal; it gives me lots of room for modification so I can change the look in the form of new headers and colors and buttons on a regular basis without having to take the time to design and code a new theme every time I want to change it. I hope y’all like it too;… |

Zucchini PancakesI was going to write a review of a local restaurant today for Travel Tip Thursday, but the unbloggable continues, along with overwhelming amounts of work and the stressful situation with my nephew (good news and bad news there – fortunately, the good news outweighs the bad but I’ll go into that later), so I’m rerunning a very old… |

Chocolate Chip Bread PuddingI’m not a big bread eater. Oh, every now and then I’ll get a hankering for a good sandwich or I’ll have a piece of toast with my Sunday brunch or a warm roll with dinner, but I’m not one of those people who can’t do without bread – to be honest, I’d miss cornbread way before I’d miss sandwich bread or dinner rolls.Nor are Beloved and… |

Creamy Chicken Noodle SoupTuesday evening Beloved was in the living room watching something on television (probably either Cops or America’s Dumbest Criminals Trying to Flee the Authorities and Failing Miserably), The Young One was in the kitchen looking for something to eat (30 minutes after dinner) and I was sitting in front of my laptop, playing a game (and… |

Roasted Beets with Wilted GreensYou don’t see many recipes out there for beets, which is kind of sad. Beets are good for you and when properly cooked, they taste great, too.I never really ate beets growing up, although when I became an adult I found that I liked pickled beets in salads. Other than that, I’d only had them canned and I’d never eaten the greens – too… |

Swedish MeatballsYou might notice something a little different today. Yup, all of the photos are watermarked with the URL to this blog. This is something I never thought I’d have to do, and it’s certainly not anything I ever wanted to do.This month, I noticed that while the number of visitors to my site had increased, mostly for legitimate reasons,… |

Jan’s Pimento CheeseBack in August 2008, when this blog was in its infancy and I had just a fraction of the readers I enjoy today, I was lamenting the things I could easily find in Texas that were extremely scarce here in northeast Ohio, particularly in Podunk. At the top of the list were burgers from Dairy Queen (no burgers in Dairy Queen???), Dallas… |

Apple CrispI am late today posting, and the rest of the week may be a bit haphazard – the drug dealer from Florida who bought this dump, sight unseen, as a “legitimate” front our responsible and immensely caring landlord has taken our rents and run because that’s what sleazy gigolo criminals do forsaken us due to financial difficulties and the… |
