I’m not just being biased because they come from my Daddy’s home town. They really were the best band there!

Yesterday, I made a delicious Italian chopped salad. Romaine lettuce, spring mix, all chopped small. Fresh deli meat, Genoa Salami, honey maple ham, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese (sliced on a number 4 at the deli and then diced by me) cucumber, olives, organic sweet tiny tomatoes, green and red bell pepper, fresh basil, oregano and cracked pepper. All tossed together. You could use any veggies or variety of meats you and your family love!
I used some sea sat and olive oil only for my dressing. Hubby used Italian and the kids used ranch. 😋 🥗

You asked for it! Here’s the easy recipe and my hacks for this delicious cornbread! You’ll get a slightly sweet, buttery cornbread with a crusty crunchy bottom, salted buttery crunchy top and tender middle. I don’t know about you but that’s how I like my cornbread!!
You’ll need:
12 inch cast iron skillet
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
3 boxes Jiffy Original Cornbread mix
1 cup buttermilk
3 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons honey
1 stick salted butter
What to do:
Preheat oven to 425
Pour desired oil into pan and spread evenly
Pop that cast iron Pan into the oven while the oven preheats. Get that pan sizzling hot while you mix your cornbread
Mix all cornbread ingredients in a large bowl with a large spoon, and let it rest for 10 minutes while that pan gets HOT
Carefully remove pan from the oven, evenly pour and spread cornbread mix
Pour one stick of melted butter over the top
Bake 20-25 minutes until it’s browned and cooked through
Thank me later. 😉

So I got a hankering for some chocolatey-chocolate cake. So I made THIS ONE! I then gave some to each of my next door neighbors and forced my family to eat some too. We had ours with H‑E‑B 1905 vanilla ice cream. It is delicious times ten!

This doctored up cake mix recipe is better than any from-scratch cake I've ever tried. It's incredibly moist and fudgy thanks to sour cream and pudding mix.

Okay 2-6 pieces of bacon cut up. Drain once crispy. Throw a diced onion in the bacon grease. After it’s almost finished browning throw in some minced garlic. Then use fresh OR canned green beans. Cover with water or chicken broth. Black pepper. You may or may not need salt because of your bacon and whatever broth you’ve used.

I’ve always wondered about marinating hamburger meat. I read once how it’s chopped and ground enough so it’s already tender. BUT I wanted to impact some big flavor. Here in a few hours we will throw them on the new gas grill and see what happens! Oh, and I’ve also always been intrigued by those people that form the patty around a hunk of butter. I realize we must all be healthier but I just need to find out. It’s butter! ❤️ Usually Jimmy makes the burgers but this, this is my turn so I went all out. 😂

It’s tea-time! I recently got this fruity orange tea. It can be served hot or iced (because I’m in Texas so, yeah!)
I’m one of those who doesn’t require sugar in their iced tea. It’s okay if there’s a little but I’m sweet enough on my own. (Haha! J/k!)
