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 […]
Going to new restaurants is fun. It is exciting to try something new that maybe you my dear readers do not know about. I love suggestions of places we should try. BUT … Sometimes I forget to sing the praise of our tried and true restaurants. The restaurants we continue going back to time and […]
Imagine the scene – We (Betty, Ever-Lovin’ and myself) were sitting in the waiting room waiting (that is what you do in a waiting room) for Betty to be called through the doors into the “I want your blood” room. (It was a medical lab.) Conversation eventually got around (as it always does) to, “Where […]
As a preschooler in Sunbeams my favorite Bible verse was Psalm 122:1 – I was glad when they said unto me. Let us go into the house of the Lord. Honestly, this verse is one of my earliest memories. I loved and still love being in the house of the Lord. Sure this verse is […]
Benedict’s is a breakfast, brunch, lunch restaurant that has made several lists as a recommended breakfast eatery in Dallas. We thought we should check it out. Bikers’ hogs were parked outside the front door. We took that as a good sign. Benedict’s is located in Addison on Betline Road at Inwood. Inside, the decor was […]

On June 17, Marsha Christmas – my cheerleader – forwarded me this: “With grace of Southern hospitality Ellen’s Southern Kitchen shines | Dallas-Fort Worth Restaurant Reviews and News – Dining News for Dallas, Texas – GuideLive – The Dallas Morning News.” “Lanabird, Have y’all been here? Sounds very yummy.” NO, I had not been to […]
Another eatery on the Square in McKinney, Texas was on my radar – Spoons Cafe. Betty’s son Paul (an in-the-know foodie) gave me the recommendation. So – before the organ concert at the courthouse theater, we took the opportunity to dine at Spoons. I am beginning to think it is my camera that takes crooked […]
It is strange how things work. I had not visited downtown McKinney, Texas for a long long time. Then within three days, I went to downtown McKinney three times. Yes, there were three seperate trips made. Be warned. There are more posts about McKinney, Texas just waiting to be shared. Here is how it happened. […]
The picture in the Dallas Morning News caught my attention. In the Wednesday food section, Alicia Ross shares recipes. Her column is called Kitchen Scoop – what a cute name. The pictured muffins were filled with summer fruits – strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. As I read the recipe, my mouth was watering, and I knew […]
