It’s not really Sunday night, right? Sigh. I know the truth but I’m ignoring it for a little longer. I hope you don’t mind. Another sigh – we didn’t win the massive Powerball drawing Saturday night, but we had fun dreaming of what we would do if we did win. Mainly we decided we would […] Read more…
So you think turkey doesn’t have much spice? Well, let me introduce you to JENNIE-O® OVEN READY™ Cajun Style Bone-In Turkey Breast – this turkey rocks it in the heat category!

Hello friends! It’s been a busy time, as we all know, what with Christmas last week and New Year’s fast approaching. Here I thought I’d take this week off and have plenty of time to do multiple blog posts, organize the house, and cook up a new turkey recipe or two. Instead, I feel like […] Read more…
Is anyone else out of sorts, a bit, now that we’ve gotten past Christmas? I had the hardest time on Sunday. It didn’t feel like Sunday. I was weirdly surprised to see NFL football teams playing and I completely forgot to walk out to the mailbox to get the Sunday newspaper until late afternoon. Also, […] Read more…
