Super Hero Sandwiches

 
We took a family road trip to Pauls Valley, Oklahoma to visit The Toy & Action Figure Museum.  If you're ever passing through Pauls Valley, it's worth stopping to check out.  For the grown ups, Pauls Valley is home to Bedre Fine Chocolates.  Bedre gives tours Monday-Friday, 10am-3pm.  
Back to the yummy sandwich pictured above. [...]

Homemade Dinner Rolls

These soft, delicious dinner rolls are ready in one hour from prep to serving.  That’s really not long when considering how long yeast breads usually take to rise, knead, shape, rise again.  (I don’t bake yeast breads for that reason.  I don’t have the time or the patience.)
This recipe doesn’t involve any extra work in [...]

Moist Cornbread Muffins

This was the BEST CORNBREAD MUFFIN THAT EVER LIVED.
It’s gone now, but it’s left behind a memorable experience that my family will not let me forget.
This is a simple cornbread muffin recipe that can easily be sweetened up or made spicy.  From here it can go either direction.  Since I wanted them for their simple [...]

Fresh Beef Chili

With all these cold, blustery days, a hardy pot of chili sounded good to eat over the weekend.  My friend, Anne, brought over fresh, ground beef that was grown right here in Sulphur Springs, Texas.  Thanks Anne, now we know the difference between locally grown and store bought beef.
That beautiful, moist cornbread muffin in the [...]

Leftover Potatoes and Broccoli

Sometimes there's too much of one leftover.  Do you get that occasionally?  Last week's Christmas party left us with a bit too much mashed potatoes to eat.  I started our nights of leftovers with this recipe.  It's so super simple, I almost didn't post it.  However, it was tasty, comforting, nutritious, and my kids ate [...]

Spinach Manicotti

This spinach manicotti recipe is simple, but it does have a few steps to make it come together.  I didn't time myself as to how long it took to prepare it.  I had plenty of time and the fun followed.  My kids don't appreciate spinach, yet.  So, I rolled a few pasta with cheese filling [...]

Potato Cakes, Take One

My friend, Ben over at What’s Cooking? got my mouth watering for potato cakes last week.  We share the same puzzle to figure out how his Mom and my Memaw made potato cakes.  I don’t recall watching Memaw make them, but I sure remember eating them.  They were crunchy from being fried.  They had bits [...]

Pumpkin Muffins

. There's more to bake with pumpkin puree than just pumpkin pie.   Oh, you knew this already?  Yeah, but have you tried doing anything with pumpkin puree besides pie?  Up until that experimental batch of Pumpkin cookies, me neither.
Yesterday, I baked up a double batch of Pumpkin Cookies to give away to friends and [...]
