Wheels has always outdone himself for Valentine's Day. There was the Dove Dark Chocolate with an article from a magazine on how dark chocolate was healthy. A couple of years later, it was two cases of tuna. I was looking at the grocery ad featuring $100 rose bouquets and said something along the line of "I'd rather have this" pointing to the photo of the case of tuna for sale. A week later I came downstairs for breakfast to find two large cardboard boxes setting on the kitchen counter. I was really puzzled -- especially after I opened the top one and found 24 cans of tuna. Wha---?? And then I remembered that little comment tossed off when I thought he wasn't really paying attention. And started to laugh. Gotta love a guy who listens!!

Buttery Apple Crisp
Nate the Great's Mommy set the dessert on the table. MMMMMM Apple Crisp. One bite and it was wow! Light and buttery, cinnamony, and just right sweetness. This apple crisp just whispers in your ear and wraps you in warm apple flavor kissed with butter and cinnamon. Where did you find this recipe, I asked. (just for you, of course!) In grandma's community cookbook, she said. Of course. Every cook who knows someone from that little town has a fat orange covered spiral bound cookbook on the shelf or in the kitchen drawer. Apparently even those who weren't even in kindergarten yet when it was published! How could I have missed it? Granted there are 7 apple crisp recipes in the book, including one with marshmallows, one with eggs and one with raisins. Interestingly they all call ... [Read More]

Gumbo Sloppy Joe Sliders
Creamy Gumbo Sloppy Joe Sliders are a great addition to the appetizer table for Game Day. Or for any party! They are delicious, filling and different from the usual. Slider means you still have room to sample other goodies – and circle back for more Sloppies! They are tasty and amazingly easy to make. Saute onions and brown the ground beef in the same skillet. Mix the two soups together in a medium bowl. Just the soups straight from the can – no other liquid needed. Add the soup to the meat and onion mixture in the skillet and bring to simmer. I simmer a few minutes to let the meat absorb the moisture and flavor. Any excess moisture is also reduced. You don’t want the sloppy joes to be --- “soupy”. Sorry – just had to do that!! Choose your favorite slider bun – Hawaiian ... [Read More]

Amazing how one day of blue sky and sunshine can wipe out the gloom, snow and ice of the past several days!
