As we close out one year and celebrate the beginning of another, I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart. To say 2010 has been a wonderful year would be a complete understatement.

Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

cinnamon-rolls-32

Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. Good cinnamon rolls that is. I hate to say it, but I’m kinda picky about them. I like my cinnamon rolls moist and not too bready, with the perfect ratio of cinnamon, and with just the right amount of cream cheese icing on the top.

Popovers Recipe

One of my husband’s favorite breads is a popover. Light and fluffy and oh so buttery, I have to admit, this popovers recipe has become one of my favorites as well. They are delicious with beef tenderloin, pot roast, and just about anything else you serve them with. I do have a couple of little Read More

French onion soup is one of my favorite soups, especially when the temperatures outside drop. It has always been one of those soups that I would look forward to having at restaurants, but wasn’t one I knew how to make at home when we first married. It wasn’t until our third Christmas together that I Read More

Congratulations to Rachel, comment # 32! ***** I’m sick. I’ve been fighting what I thought was just a winter cold for a while now. I knew I’d probably just picked it up from being out and about around town, at a Christmas party, ball game, or even the grocery store. To say it kicked my Read More

Simple Beef Stroganoff

When it gets cold outside, I immediately start thinking of rich, hearty, comforting meals I can make for dinner. Like my grandmother’s southern chicken and dumplings or beef bourguignon.

Pecan Sandies Cookie Recipe

Growing up, my mother would make cookies that my father called pecan sandies. They were delicate, delicious little bites of crumbly, buttery cookie encased in a dusting of powdery confectioners sugar. Mother would make her pecan sandies for family showers or brunches and especially at Christmas. I’m sure you’ve had this traditional cookie before yourself. Read More

A mimosa makes a wonderful cocktail served at a breakfast or brunch on special occasions. They are one of the easiest drinks to mix and are generally well-loved.
