This delicious fall soup is a favorite in our family. Aaaannnnd I’m basking. Basking? Yes of course, basking in the glow, of a compliment. She told me my potato soup was THE BEST she’d ever eaten. And her “not so into potatoes family member” loved it too! Just in case you may be thinking, “That doesn’t…
When you’re the youngest of 10, you just kind of sleep where you end up. I don’t know…maybe that’s how it was for all of us. I remember sleeping in my baby bed until I was three, IN my parent’s bedroom. When I finally out grew my baby bed, it was determined that I should…
Do you ever get so excited that you prance? And haven’t you wondered to yourself how to make a candle that burns for 72 days. I mean don’t all rational and normal thinking minds wonder these types of things. If someone told you that you could make a candle for less than $6 that would…

How in the world did I ever get so lucky to have 7, yes SEVEN – sisters in law. This caramel sauce recipe started with my sweet sister in law, Martha. She’s married to my husband’s brother, and she introduced our family to this delicious recipe. About the time they married, family on my side,…
Hey, Happy Halloween!! We moved to our new house in August. Everything is neat and tidy…and NOT very decorated. That will change on Monday. But that’s beside the point. 2020 has been weird. But I’m not telling you anything you didn’t know. Am I? Also, I miss my mother. She’s been gone 22 years and…
Have you ever had anyone tell you how to cut an onion without crying? Seriously! Raise your hand if you have. You’re probably running around finishing all the final prep for your Labor Day feast with all of your family and 500 closest friends showing up for grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.
