For those of you celebrating Orthodox Christmas today (January 7, 2023) Merry Christmas! I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! My hubby and I invited our best friends to join us for Christmas Dinner this year. We enjoyed a great meal, laughter and played our favorite board game…SEQUENCE! The…
Homemade Yeast Bread
Hubby brought in our first ripe tomato from his garden a few weeks ago. To me, nothing tastes better than a garden tomato sandwich on homemade bread! So I got to baking! My hubby said this was the softest, most delicious bread I’ve ever made! Recipe will be at the bottom of this post. I…
Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
One of my favorite things to make are cinnamon rolls and having a bread machine makes it even that much easier! My mom and grandma both made good cinnamon rolls, but even my mom admits this recipe beats hers hands down! I’m sure you could make it without a bread machine, by mixing with a…
Homemade Cherry Crunch
Hello February!!! It’s snowing here today as we just experienced some of the coldest weather in decades!! We had a low of -8 F with windchill of -24 F, but that was nothing compared to the -60 windchill in some of our Northern states. Since I’m kind of snowed in today and it’s Friday, thought…
Instant Pot Cucumber Raisin Bread
Usually we have an abundance of zucchini in our garden, but this year my husband planted these climbing English Cucumbers. Everyday he’s bringing me 4 or 5 of these long beauties. I have cucumbers coming out of my ears!! lol I’ve already made bread and butter pickles and today I’m making refrigerator pickles. What else…

Happy Fall Y’All and Instant Pot
I can’t believe it’s September 22, 2017 already- First Day of Fall. This past year has gone by so fast and it’s been 9 months since I last wrote a post. Holy Smokes! A lot has happened, in April I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. That meant having a complete hysterectomy, which was done laparoscopically…
Mom’s Date Balls
Here it is December 10, 2016 and 15 days until Christmas! Have you started your Christmas baking yet? I haven’t done any serious baking, but last night while it was snowing, I decided to make these quick and easy date balls. I think these cookies are really my favorite. Either you love dates or you…
Monster Sandwich for 12
Yesterday was the first day of Fall and the weather was beautiful. This is my favorite time of year, I just love all the colors, smells and activities that are associated with Autumn. I have been drinking pumpkin spice coffee for a few weeks now. If you missed my post on my homemade Pumpkin Syrup…
Coconut Cream Pie and Easter Tradition
Easter is tomorrow and traditional in my home I make Easter bread. It takes a lot of time because it makes 5 loaves and quite frankly, I just didn’t have the time or maybe the energy to make it this year. I did, however, decide to make a lemon meringue pie for my youngest son…
