The long anticipated cornbread recipe is finally here! I know, I know. It's taken forever. So, I don't want to keep you waiting any longer! This recipe is my Mom's cornbread, but it's the best I've ever had. There's no point to even attempting to alternate it, unless you maybe want to add some diced up jalapenos to it to give it some...

Yes, I'm back! I thoroughly intend on making these recipes worth your while.This Spicey Chicken Chili is a a spin-off of a speciality of my mother-in-law. Clark has been begging me for some time to make it, so I thought I'd meet his request and go further. As always, this is my adaptation of the recipe. I changed things around for my liking...

So, moving around the furniture didn't work. Once the TV was moved to a different corner and the couch was facing a differnet way, it just made me more frustrated. It made me realize how atrociously large my couch is and having no complimenting furniture just makes it awkward unless it's facing the ONE WAY we had it to begin with.I know this...

Ever since I was young I've constantly needed change. I think this developed from moving every six months to three years. It continued when Clark and I married. We have lived in four apartments in three and a half years. It wasn't all by choice, but you get the idea.So, today, after running several errands and feeling like I got nothing done, I...

Well, it's official. If my previous post wasn't enough, it's even worse now. A few hours later, I've found bathing suits, shorts, tanks, dresses, and oh so much more that is making the want for spring shopping ridiculous. So, here's a preview of my desires. For the record, I don't have a fashion section. I think this falls under "Around the Home" because...

I am completely out of ideas. After a week of class, a date-night with the hubby, and many restless-nights... I'm lost. There is so much going on that I don't know what to share and what not to, and I've been so busy with school I have no recipes to include thus far.All I can think about is spring. Spring weather, spring clothes,...

Well, I don't know what number of storm this is. Everyone around here has been tense since Monday, hoping for classes to get cancelled. And, yes, Monday was the first day of classes this semester. The snow has been blowing, the roads have been slushy and icy, and everyone just wants to stay in with the fire and a cup of hot chocolate....

We returned home to a "Winter Wonderland." Unfortunately, this land is not very wonderful to me anymore. As predicted, here I am complaining. To be fair, I had car problems today. I said I wouldn't complain unless I had car problems.The day started off nice. The snow plows must have come through early morning and cleared space so it was easy for me...

Sorry for going MIA for a few days. Visiting family is always time consuming. I was so wrapped up in the warmth that is my parents' home that I was just about oblivious to everything else that's a part of my world.My side of the family tends to spend quality time watching movies, playing board games, watching football, or just sitting around in...

Talk about a mouthful... and I don't just mean you'll be eating a mouthful of these cookies, I mean the name is a mouthful. Yes, that was cheesey. Sorry. I was going to experiment and just bake these cookies, and then I did a little research and learned that the ingredients used for such a treat don't really have to be baked. They're...

Clark and I love hiking. We're not one of those couples that just goes on "extreme walking trails," or goes on the paved hiking trails or anything like that. No. We love to really hike, backpack, and so on. I can't say I'm quite up to speed with camping, but I'm slowly but surely getting there.We haven't been hiking since August. Now, here's...

Yes, it's finally here! I'm sorry it took a bit longer than it was supposed to. Another apology for not including the corn bread recipe. Now that it is January first, my diet is full-fledged. So, if you sense that the recipes are a bit healthier for the next month or so, that's why.So, the chili. This is a WONDERFUL thing to make...

(Picture from yournewyearresolution.com) Every year I make New Year's Resolutions. Within the 365 days or so, however, they get lost, tossed aside, or forgotten. This year, one of my goals is to actually stick to my resolutions. Therefore, I thought I would post them here so it would keep me accountable. A new year means a new beginning, and this year is going...
