Pickled Cherry Peppers

I love fall in Oklahoma because you never know what you will get. You might take a snow day off school before Thanksgiving or you might be able to still wear flip flops to school the day before Thanksgiving break. Who knows? (You do realize I could quote Will Rogers at this point, but I . . . → Read More: Pickled Cherry Peppers

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins (and a weird squash)

By Eliot, on October 8th, 2013%

Have you ever been over to M.J.’s Kitchen? If not, you must stumbled over there as soon as you are able.

Last January, M.J. posted about an unusual squash with an unusual name: Cushaw Pumpkin. These things do not look like pumpkins at all. Besides the weird name, they were pretty weird looking. She spoke . . . → Read More: Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins (and a weird squash)

Creole Okra and Sausage Jambalaya Gumbo

By Eliot, on September 18th, 2013%

It was the principals’ jobs to feed the staff this week at Parent/Teacher Conferences. My goodness, but they are a hungry bunch.

During our life together as a couple, we have always had a cat. (And, really, we aren’t cat people. Am I in denial?)

In fact, The Hubs adopted a huge, yellow cat for me from the SPCA when we were dating. I dubbed him Sam. (When I was tiny, I had a yellow tom cat . . . → Read More: Izzy
