Whether sitting down for an evening meal with the family, a camp out with friends, or a shore lunch with buddies after a day on the water fishing (I’m going to assume you caught some fish). Traditionally, these bite-size seasoned Cheddar Hush Puppies would be served with any fish or seafood. But, I think they […]

After the success of the royal burger recipe, I thought it to be appropriate to show you another quirky burger recipe, the pork burgers. While growing up in the country when I was young had its ups and downs. One of the advantages of having livestock was the fresh meat we could have as a […]

March 6, 2023 by 7 Comments
Sometimes, after trying a recipe, I think…well, hello, why haven’t I been making this for years! This Homemade Cherry Pie Filling was exactly that way. I’m not a big pie baker, and when I do bake a pie, it’s usually chocolate with meringue, so I guess that might be why I never really made my […]

With only 3 ingredients and a couple of optional ingredients, you can put together this Barbecue Chicken Salad in a flash.

One of the easiest ways to add unique flavors to your meals is to make your own sauces and one of the easiest ones is this Quick Pizza Sauce. We rarely purchase jarred pizza sauce opting instead for some homemade sauce instead. We haven’t had a place to put in a garden the past couple […]
