The Mrs. makes the best waffles. It is true. Being invited to her house for waffles is a real treat, and that is what she did recently. The breakfast table was lovely with the plaid placemats, polished silverware, and pretty crystal serving pieces. Fresh flowers on the table added a touch of class. I loved that […]
What to fix for a brunch? There seems to be a bazillion choices, but I am here to tell you – planning a party is one of my greatest pleasures. I love looking through cookbooks and searching the internet for recipes and ideas. This time the choices were pretty easy. I had something I had been […]
There is a group of ladies at First Baptist Church Richardson known as the Builders and Boomers, and they have become known as a group of fun loving women – or is it loving fun women? Either way – you get the message. Rebekah (an amazing lady) organized a group of these women to come join […]
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 […]

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 […]
For more years than I can count, a group of friends called “The Buds” have reserved the first Friday in December to go on the Lake Highlands Women’s League Holiday Home Tour. It is our favorite home tour, and we have visited some take your breath away homes on these tours. While I was teaching, […]

Honestly, their recipe isn’t that much different than other recipes I have tried, but their sausage balls are goodness gracious – so much better.
