Get Creative with Creme Horns

I must confess that I try to avoid the bakery when I go in Walmart. As I near that area of the store, my radar zooms in to these flaky, creamy, sweet pastries that I can’t resist. It’s those darn crème Horns. I have a love/ hate relationship with them. I love them, my waist […]

More Chicken Breeds

Montego Bay, Jamaica Part 2

Snickers Caramel Apple Salad

BACON, AVOCADO, TOMATO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

I discovered Bolillo bread in the Walmart bakery a few years ago and use it for all of my sandwiches. At my Walmart it runs around 1.68 for 6 buns. I cut each bun in half and butter all 4 sides and toast in a skillet or I melt butter in the skillet and toast […]

Cozumel

Cozumel was beautiful but I liked Jamaica and Grand Cayman better.  We didn’t do an excursion here so that may be why I didn’t enjoy it as much.  If I ever get back to Cozumel, I plan on going to Tulum to see the Mayan Ruins.   That little person you see standing by the […]

My Chickens Introduction to Snow….

From Tropical to Winter

I come back from my Caribbean vacation to this. Yep, it has snowed in southern Arkansas. It’s rare that we have snow, especially on Christmas day.

The North Wall is an abyss that plunges in the […]
