Mother’s day is around the corner and if you’re looking for something special and delicious this year, have a look at Mrs. Prindable’s Apples. I included these in my Holiday Gift Guide for 2008 because they are so good and something that my parents would give out to all the families for Christmas.
There are so… [Continue Reading]
The winner of the Last Cake Standing challenge and $50,000 was Mary Maher who finished the challenge making a sweet 16 cake for the sextuplets.

Have you ever set out to make something only to realize that you don’t have the ingredients so you’re scurrying around trying to think of something else to make? Well, try being in that situation when you’re feeding a cowboy crew.

Did you know that if you create a bag design over at Kroger, they will give you a reusable shopping bag? WOOT! It’s easy to design one, so easy in fact, MY MOM created one! I’m so proud of her and her design.

Because I’m trying to lose weight, I’m really watching what I eat. Every morning I wake up and decide what to eat. I usually go for oatmeal, a healthy cereal or have a smoothie. Today is smoothie day! My two favorite fruits, strawberries & bananas, in a drink! And to make sure I’m getting a… [Continue Reading]
Yogurt is something that, I feel, you have to acquire a taste for. I have always despised yogurt until recently. Because of it’s many health benefits, I’m learning to like it. Then, I was told, by the owner of this ranch, Amy, who is a very sweet woman I might add, about FAGE, a Greek… [Continue Reading]
I’m actually not a fan of squash but everyone I know loves it. I try to cook it often for my family and for the cowboys but get tired of the same ol’ fried squash. I decided this time around to try some baked squash. I fed the cowboys today and must have done something… [Continue Reading]

I’ve never had much for entertaining purposes and while these can be used anytime, I enjoy bringing them out… [Continue Reading]
Another meal here on the ranch, only 5 more days to go. I NEVER cook pork chops or chicken for cowboys. We get our beef furnished with our job so I might as well use that right? But I needed a break from beef and decided to cook pork chops. Now of course, I had… [Continue Reading]
One of the things I struggle with during my Operation Fatty, is having food that is more healthy than what I eat now. It’s a pain to cook separate dinners for me and my family so I’m on the prowl for diet food delivery style! Living way out here in the middle of nowhere means… [Continue Reading]
These dinner rolls are one of the easiest and most delicious bread recipes I have. I first learned how to make dinner rolls from one of our previous employer’s wife, on the Fulton Quien Sabe Ranch.
