FIG JELLY (For those that don’t like the texture of figs)
As I mentioned in my post about fig jams, I don’t like the texture of figs. They have an amazing flavor but they are fuzzy. It is hard for me to eat anything that is covered in fur. If you think you don’t like figs, try cooking them down and just using the juice. You […]
Homemade Fig Jam
I’m not a huge fig person. It’s a texture thing. I love the flavor but can’t handle the fuzzy texture in my mouth. I have the same issue with bananas. Just can’t handle the texture. If you are one of those people that do love figs, you should make fig jam. I am not sure […]
Travel with Me ~ VALLETTA, MALTA
I have not traveled extensively but for an old lady from a small town in Arkansas, I have managed to make it to 29 countries in the last 5 years. I am proof that it is never to late to get out and see the world. Of the places I have traveled, there is a little […]
How to make Manicotti
I have always thought that manicotti was one of those foods that took too much time to make. That it was not something you could just whip up for the evening meal. Thanks to the quarantine, I now know that this is not only better than anything I have had in an Italian restaurant, I […]
Starting a New Garden on a New Homestead
We purchased a new homestead in January and though we have not made a lot of progress on the inside of the house, we have made progress on the outside. Specifically, the raised beds for the garden. I plan to turn the entire fenced in area of our backyard into food production including putting in […]
HAM SALAD~TWISTED
Apparently I don’t make ham salad, or even chicken salad, the way other people do. I did not know this until I made chicken salad sandwiches for a group and everyone wanted the recipe. I kept saying it’s just regular chicken salad. Didn’t everyone make it the way I did? Apparently people put sweet relish […]
PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS
There are so many different ways to cook pork chops. They can be baked, grilled, and slow cooked. My choice for the night was fried. Simple, quick, and oh so delicious pan fried pork chops. It doesn’t get any easier than this. The recipe below is very basic so feel free to add seasoning to […]
CHOCOLATE & PECAN OOEY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
I assume by now, everyone knows about ooey gooey butter cake and how it is one of the best cakes ever! I’m not a big fan of cake but I love a good brownie or cookie bar and this “cake” is more along the line of a brownie. Another great thing about ooey, gooey cake […]
LOW CARB BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
I have found recipes for Keto Broccoli Cheese soup on several sites. I tried several variations and this is the version that I like the best. Most of the recipes I found called for cheddar cheese but I prefer Velveeta cheese because I like the way it makes the soup creamy and I always have […]

PLANTING, GROWING, & HARVESTING BLACKBERRIES
For some of us in the South, picking blackberries brings brings back childhood memories of reaching for those delicious dark purple nuggets among a thicket of thorns. Standing in the warm sun, we ate as many berries as we saved. Our hands turned purple, juice ran down our chins, and we complained out the scratches on […]
