Chock full o'Nuts, Eggs, Spiral Potatoes, Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin


This is the best coffee! I have a hard time finding it recently. I have found it for as low as $3.99 to $7.00 for a small can. It was available everywhere after the movie "Bucket List" came out.

Pork loin Sandwich, Slaw & Potato Salad


I used a dry rub on the pork loin, cooked it in the crock pot, bbq sauce added to the bread. The slaw was made with broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, craisins, nuts and bacon, with a dressing that has a hint of orange flavor, slightly sweet. Potato salad ingredients were potatoes, celery, sweet onion, mayo, dijon, honey mustard, dill pickle, boiled egg, salt and pepper.

Pumpkin Pie Preview :-)


                            This was a spicy, yummy pumpkin pie. I love this time of year!

Chicken & Rice


I cooked onion and celery in olive oil, added chicken thighs (with bone and skin, Smart brand), garlic herb seasoning & a can of diced tomatoes with chiles. I cooked until thighs were tender and falling off the bone. I removed them from the pan and let cool. I discarded the bone and fat and added the chicken to the rice. The rice was cooked in the pan juices. I served it with buttered corn.

Apple Dumplings with Mountain Dew


This recipe was a suggestion from my good pal, Gay. She told me that her mom made apple dumplings that had Mountain Dew as an ingredient. They are just wonderful. There are many recipes for these online. Very simple and tasty.
