Strawberry Goodness!
Today I was in the mood for oatmeal but am running low on the preferred steel cut oats I use when cooking oatmeal as a cereal. So I chose to make oat flour pancakes instead. Fresh wholesome ingredients makes the BEST pancakes. I’ve used J. R. Watkins products since the 1970s when I was a…

Another Hot Day….
….in the deep south. This type of extreme hot and humid, which actually is NOT normal for the area, much less the whole country….. doesn’t lean to much of an appetite with forced reduction in physical activity caused by the energy being sucked right out of a body. But, we still need to eat and…

Summer time in the country
Summer time was special growing up. While we lived in the burbs, we had aunts and uncles that lived on the river and were good old country people. They knew how to have a good time. We cousins played outside while the men grilled, the women cooked the side dishes, then every one chipped in…

Harvest Multitasking
Today was grocery day since the rain held off. I’m in process of filling the freezer for this winter when ever I find a good deal. I lucked up on a basket of stringless green beans for $6 at the little veggie stand. I’ll have to make another run for more at that price before…

For the love of Strawberries!

Yogurt pancakes!
No photos tonight. I didn’t think about it until the meal had been consumed. It has been a rushed crazy day and I had to throw something together for dinner fairly quickly. I was feeling the need for simple fiber and there was plain Greek yogurt in the fridge in need of being used soon.…

Father’s Day
Another day of celebrating Father’s has come and gone. We had a marvelously low humidity, breezy evening yesterday to just relax on the deck until after sunset. That’s rare in these days of severe heat and humidity that has covered the country the last month. So it was a very good start leading into today.…

The reds have it!
Anyone that knows me even a little, knows I LOVE seafood! One of my all time favorites is boiled shrimp pretty much bred into me from all those long summer days spent in Key West, Florida as a child and teen. With prices continuing to hit record highs along with my determination to eat healthy…

Fresh Produce plus Fiber
We are fortunate to live in an area that has what we call “Veggie” stands…… small businesses run by farmers that sell their own homegrown produce and more from area farmers. I visit one in particular regularly during the growing seasons and am especially grateful to have this option in this day and time of…

Deep south comfort foods meets healthy upgrade
I was raised in the deep south with all that entails including lots of comfort foods. We ate our fill of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fried pork chops with white flour gravy and biscuits. We southerners never thought twice about all that white flour and grease. As I grew older and less active it just…
