As a rookie hostess for the ladies monthly Round Table luncheon, it was a little intimidating to think that our committee was responsible not only for the decorations but also the food. When I saw that Evelyn was on the hostess list, I breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knows that Evelyn is a fantastic […]
There is a difference of opinion at our house. I know this might come as a shock to some of you, but others will completely understand. When it comes to cucumbers and onions, Ever-Lovin’ likes the combination to be sweet. I, on the other hand, like a more vinegary taste. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I […]
For our Labor Day get together, we thought we would have steak. At out house, this is beyond unusual. Seldom do we buy steak for the whole gang. Oh, we buy chuck roast and ground meat, but not steak. On special occasions, Ever-Lovin’ and I enjoy a good steak at a steak house. This got me […]

The official name for this casserole is Jessica’s Favorite Green Chili Hominy, but since I remember it as the hominy casserole from Perini Ranch in Buffalo Gap, Texas, I call it Perini Ranch Green Chili Hominy. This hominy casserole is seriously good and so easy to make. It can be made in advance or even […]
The menu for our Father’s Day Lunch centered around the foods Ever-Lovin’ loves. We had been to the Saturday’s farmers market and had plenty of veggies to cook. Basically it was a Southern comfort food type of meal. For those who are interested, here was our menu: Meatloaf Carrot Salad (recipe to follow) Cucumber Salsa […]
On our day trip to Waxahachie, Super Sister and I ate at The Dove’s Nest – an excellent restaurant located downtown Waxahachie on the square. We succumbed and ordered the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for dessert. Sweet Mother of Pearl. It was full of chocolate, pecans and had a subtle hint of bourbon. Yummy! Marsha […]
This is the recipe that I have used forever – even before my mother’s cookbook – A+ in Cooking. First, my sweet cousin LaNell gave me a version of this recipe while I was dating Ever-Lovin’. Then I have at the same version of the recipe from Mother via Ann Sears via Mrs. Joe Morgan. (Do you […]
Excellent Cook Nancy brought Friend BB some cookies – Laura Bush’s Cowboy Cookies to be exact. Mrs. Ralph ate one of said cookies, and declared it the best cookie she had ever eaten. Mrs. Ralph did not mention said cookie just one time, I bet she mentioned it a bazillion times (Okay, I exaggerate.) but…. I […]
Thought it was time I shared the Orange Muffin recipe that I made for the ADK meeting. (I promised I would.) This recipe is a recipe from Helen Corbitt. It is easy to make and delicious. I like these muffins because they keep well, and you can even freeze them. I was reminded of this […]
