Can it up! Pickles…a how to.
Canning is a wonderful way to keep summer fruits and vegetables for use in the winter. It’s an especially great thing to do if you are trying to live frugally and make use of in-season produce. My bloggy friend Allie of Forgotten Beast and I are going to be writing some very detailed, step by …
Farmer’s Market, jam and dried herbs
Monday, I was a busy girl. It’s true. The 107F degree heat, a yucky sinus headache and the threat of rolling blackouts did not faze me (much). My daughter and I went to the Farmer’s Market. Here is what we bought. We bought leeks corn onions peaches 8-ball squash garlic avocados zucchini and yellow squash …
Meatless Monday
I hope you had a fantastic weekend. We had a nice weekend here. Did a little yard work, used the grill, splashed around in the pool on Saturday, had a lovely lunch with some equally lovely friends and lounged around the house on Sunday. No Farmer’s Market trip over the weekend, but I’m planning on …
Meatless Monday and a Meatless Monday linky
I’m going to try something new this week. A linky for Meatless Monday. I’m sure that I am not the only one going meatless on Monday (or one day a week). If you post meatless dishes (does not have to be on Monday, and it does not have to be a new post) please feel …

Mexican Rice
My sweet cousin asked for my Mexican rice recipe, so I thought I would share it with you all. I love making Mexican rice. I use a rice cooker to cook it, so I usually forgo the “browning the rice” step. It is a great recipe either way you cook it. Mexican rice is a …
Texas Caviar
Texas Caviar isn’t like normal Caviar. I don’t remember where I first had this yummy black-eyed pea dip, and I don’t know what other names it might go by, I have always known it as Texas Caviar. Black-eyed peas (I used the canned variety, but you could work with fresh or frozen(just cook them first) …
Green Chilie Chicken and Black Bean Soup
Here is what I’m doing with my left over black beans and rice. Last week, my husband and I went to Chili’s for lunch. We ordered the soup and salad lunch, and my husband picked the Green Chilie Chicken soup. It was delicious! I was tempted to steal it from him. I thought about it, …
