Scalloped Onions a la Nancy

Scalloped Onions a la Nancy

My friend Nancy is an excellent cook.  You must always try her recipes when she passes them along.  Nancy read in the blog of my interest in finding creative ways to cook my onions and reminded me of her Scalloped Onion casserole she served us on a visit to her lake condo in North Carolina.  She […]

Chihuly at Night

As mentioned the last time I went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, I vowed to come back to see the Chihuly exhibit at night. Two of my friends and I returned last night for dinner and a walk around the gardens.  Just as they said, it is quite magical all lit up at night.  We […]

Vidalia Onion Rings

Vidalia Onion Rings

What do you make with ten pounds of Vidalia onions?  I started with baked ziti, then quesadillas, then mini quiches and now I’m a third of the way through the bag and thought I would make some fried onion rings. My school had a fundraiser selling onions. You’re thinking… that only could happen in  Georgia…am I […]

Blackberry Crisp

Blackberry Crisp

We call it Blackberry Cobbler although it is technically a crisp.  We also call it almost gone in one sitting because it tastes that good. The blackberries are from the farm where Olivia works in the summer and they are the biggest, juiciest berries I have ever eaten.  This particular batch was from the freezer because […]

Doggie Loaf

Doggie Loaf

We have the pickiest eating dog on the planet. I do believe he would starve himself rather than eat something he doesn’t want which includes all canned dog foods and 99% of the known kibble brands in every store within a 100 mile radius. Every day I’m like a crazy personal dog chef trying to find […]

Memorial Day 2016

My evening photo reminded me of the 1914 war song “Keep the Fires Burning ‘Til the Boys Come Home.”  I certainly understand a little more of the sentiment behind the song now that Davis is 18 he had to sign up for Selective Service.  I can’t even imagine sending a child off to war yet people do […]

Strawberry Jam

Strawberry Jam

I think I picked the first and the last of the strawberries at Olivia’s farm stand where she works this summer.  I went when they first opened in April and then again this morning. 8 weeks is a good run for a strawberry patch, so I’m told. These are pesticide-free and berries from Whitley Farms […]

The Taste of Home issue with my potato recipe in it is now on the stands in the checkout lanes!  Fun!  It makes me want to send in more recipes for future consideration.  But for now, look on page 27 in this summer issue.

Usually graduation falls on the same weekend as Memorial Day so as a tribute to our armed services, the graduates march in carrying U.S. flags to honor our active military personnel and to act as a remembrance for those who died in service to […]
