Foodie Amy sent word that I must try Blue Bell’s Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream. I love all the suggestions and recommendations that come my way, and I especially pay attention when Foodie Amy speaks. Foodie Amy knows food. She should write a blog. Now we all know and love Blue Bell Ice Cream – ...
For Mother’s Day, Ever-Lovin’ smoked ribs in my honor. They were fantastic. I was happy, appreciative, and full. Ever-Lovin’s recipe is based on a recipe from John McLemore’s “Dadgum That’s Good!” cookbook. The store did not have “baby-back ribs” which is what he usually uses. These ribs were a little meatier. Ever-Lovin’ cooked three slabs ...
This is basically Pioneer Woman’s recipe. Blessed be her name. How can I properly express my deep appreciation? Honestly, this is a life changing recipe. For years I felt like a pico de gallo failure. I had stopped trying. Why waste perfectly good tortillia chips? Bland tomatoes were not working for me. I gave up ...

Love to watch the TV series Downton Abbey. The Buds (friends) gather to watch the show each Sunday night. Before this season of Downton Abbey began, excellent cook Nancy (also a Downton Abbey fan) sent me an email that had a menu and recipes for a Downton Abbey Premier Party from Food 52. Several ...
My love affair with potato soup began many, many, many years ago. Although many, many, many years ago I did not know it was potato soup. Back story: Aunt Nela was my mother’s sister. To say that she was a fantastic cook would be an understatement. Sweet Mother of Pearl! Could she ever cook, bake, ...
I love this cheese ball. I adore this cheese ball. It might be my most favoritest cheese ball I make. I really really wanted to make this cheese ball before Christmas, but…. It is easy breezy, but somehow it did not get made. So today I made it anyway. Maybe we can have it ...
