    Menu planning for the road

    It seems like we are on the go all the time these days, particularly at or near dinner time. Yes, I know crock pot meals are a great option for those days when you aren’t home to make dinner, but what about when you’re not home to eat dinner? Dining out isn’t in our budget […]

    A delicious Texas tradition

    A delicious Texas tradition

    No reunion, potluck, or picnic in Texas is complete without a Texas Sheet Cake.  This is a cake specifically for large gatherings: large, rich, and decadent. Tonight our bible study is having a going away thing for the various college students departing to the four corners, and this is my contribution. I actually knew this […]

    Succulent Saturday

    This is kind of a cheater Succulent Saturday post, because the recipe/directions can be found at Bakerella’s place.

    My precocious child

    Because I’ve told this story twice in the past week and I’m too tired to blog anything that makes my brain work: a story about Sprite, my 8-year-old daughter.

    GFCF Day 1: Did we survive?

    The first day is done and everybody ate and like it, mostly. The gf bread didn’t rise, and looked, smelled and tasted weird, but the kids liked it. I also made crackers with the same dough and that was better. The cornbread recipe I had called for a gf all purpose flour, which I did […]
