I’m fairly certain I knew what smoked sausage tasted like, but I’m not going to lie, I’ve never bought it. Usually it was at a potluck when someone brought cheese, crackers and smoked sausage. So back when we did the Poulet Tchoupitoulas and I was wandering around the store, I had the hardest time finding…
My parents started showing cutting horses when I was 5 years old. Sure they had both grown up around horses, mom showed Arabians in pleasure shows and dad had farm horses and competed in play days, but the cutting Arena was new to all of us. The day my mom came home and told my…
I don’t know about you but I love good Garlic bread… add cheese and I’m sold! There are some great varieties you can get in the frozen foods section at the grocery store, but what happens when you are at home, making dinner, don’t realize you want it, until you don’t have it? Never fear!…

So remember a while back when I told you how to flatten a chicken? I told you to keep the bones, they’d be great for making Chicken Stock. Well the time has come… I actually put them in the freezer because it was late that night and I didn’t have time to really do anything…
No, I didn’t go to Afghanistan, however my sweet husband did. This is his memories. I just happened to be going through photos on our computer yesterday afternoon and saw these and asked if he’d mind sharing them. For those of you who don’t know, this is my husband. He was on a flight from…
So I learned to drive a truck in a freak lightning storm. I’m still not a fan but I’m not as scared as I used to be. But that night my dad had about 60 acres of hay down on the ground. Now luckily it was baled up, he just had to get it loaded…
This time I used Texmex Tomatoes that I found at Wal-mart – generic brand I unfortunately didn’t have my usual Mexican corn so I used regular
