I bought liquid smoke almost a year ago for a recipe and then couldn’t find the recipe. Me and my organization skills. This week however, I found another recipe calling for liquid smoke. And lo and behold, if it isn’t for my husband’s favorite meal. BBQ beef on buns!

Always searching for a different way to eat more greens, especially kale, I thought I’d give this one a try. Super simple and good turn out! Great for a holiday side.

I never know how to season anything.

This time, the experimenting with spices got way out of hand.

I didn’t even do a post about thanking all the soldiers and men and women who have sacrified for our country on Memorial Day. I was swimming in garden. And I am very thankful for the fact that I am able to do that.

Okay, the first set of seeds I over watered and most of them rotted, all the beans did. Lesson number 1, do not let your seeds sit in water while waiting for sprouts, not even a bit of water. The paper towel need only be DAMP!
Lo and behold though, a week later when I went to throw them out, I found quite a few sprouted! Surprise!
I started repeats of the seeds I’d drowned. Though I did not drown this lot, many still did not sprout.

So, my mama was coming to visit and I like to try to impress her with lots of different dishes that are easy to make. She’s a real “meat and potatoes” kind of girl who likes plain things, so if I make something spicy or complicated, it had better taste good. Because….well, don’t we all aim to please our mothers a bit? Don’t we want them to be proud and take a bite and say, “Well, look at what a little chef you turned out to be?” Yeah, well, I do.
