This is known as a New Year’s meal. Well, it’s isn’t January 1st, but it’s still the new year! I’m really getting brave now. I kept finding food I needed to get rid of in the fridge…so I threw it in!

Holiday turkey in the crock pot
Posted in Meat AND veggies, tagged crock pot, holiday turkey, military spouse, slow cooker, Turkey, turkey dinner, turnips on December 24, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Okay, so I cheated a little. But it still counts. I did make the Christmas turkey in the crock pot! I used an Italian herb seasoned turkey breast tenderloin. But mainly, I needed to use up those turnips from the garden and grasped at something to make with them. Considering all the self-cooking crock pot [...]

Well, here it is. The collard greens I planted out back are finally harvested! Beautiful, green and tender. (I did have to mix some in from the community garden since my little back yard garden produced such a small amount.) A recipe from the kitchen of an Alabamian who moved to Kentucky…

My mom told me about this recipe. Her friend told her about it. I do believe that is how the best recipes are born, aren’t they? This is so simple you can memorize it and never have to use this recipe again!

Matt has fond memories of his mama making stuffed peppers when he was young. She called them “monkey heads.” Am I the only one whose never heard of this? Though I could kind of see the resemblance—if the head was cut open! They were fun to make!

“My mom makes it like this.” “Well, my mom makes it like this.” “Yeah, but your mom hates to cook and my mom doesn’t.” Hmm….who won that argument? We always make things the way my mom made them because I’m the one in the kitchen making it! I posted how my mom makes a roast [...]

I’m a “meat and potatoes” girl myself. I’ve heard that line from my mother my entire life. In high school, I experimented with soufflés and quiches. No one in the house ate my food, mostly because it wasn’t meat and potatoes. Frustrated and heart-broken, I remember tossing entire freezer-burnt concoctions in the trash. 18 years [...]

A whole chicken? With the insides and the bones? I’d never even tried. It seemed too…..overwhelming. But this year of cooking and the very reason for this blog is to try something different, be bold, take a chance. To cook! So, I did it. I cooked a whole chicken. I touched everything. I wasn’t afraid. And [...]
