Okay, I have to confess that I don’t remember ever having eaten cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon. But, that’s what this recipe was originally called, and while I may not know if it’s true these taste like Cinnabon, I know they are delicious. Honestly, this is one of my favorite recipes. With the use of a [...]

Best Laid Plans…
February 26, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I know it’s not going to shock you to hear me say this, but sometimes things just don’t work out the way I plan. Like last night’s date night that we spent at the after hours clinic. Or, last week’s “date night that wasn’t” either. Or, the cake I made for someone’s birthday a week [...]

I thought today I’d share a few of our favorite things (and no, I cannot help singing that in my head…I love Julie Andrews). Itzy Bitzy Shoes! I happened upon a really good sale at the end of the year and was able to get a great deal on several pairs of Itzy Bitzy shoes [...]
Must-See Mississippi: Vicksburg Riverfront Murals
February 24, 2011 by Leave a Comment
When I was younger, my sister would participate in Vicksburg’s Run Through History every year. Well, last week, my family and I did a “Walk Through History,” which was much more my pace. We visited the Vicksburg Riverfront Murals, and they are beautiful! They tell the story of Vicksburg’s history one beautiful painting at a [...]

To encourage my husband in his gift giving and be sure he knows how much I loved his giving me The Pioneer Woman’s cookbook for Valentine’s Day, I’ve been cooking a recipe here and there from it. Last night, we had Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich….Oh. My. I knew it was going to be delicious before [...]
Must-See-Mississippi: Broma’s Deli in Brookhaven
February 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Stopped for lunch at Broma’s Deli in Brookhaven today. It’s a great place for fresh, tasty food with a hometown flavor…reminds me of McAllister’s back in the day when the only one was in the old station on University Avenue in Oxford. You know, before they started pre-packaging their brownies and stopped selling Kentucky Pie.(Don’t [...]

I have always hated making red icing…or should I say “trying to make red icing”? The color never seemed to come out right…until now. Thanks to Bridget I now not only know how to make royal icing, I know how to make it red, and the simple secret is: Americolor Super Red Gel Coloring. It [...]
Make-It-Yourself Monday: Cream of Chicken Soup
February 21, 2011 by 12 Comments
This weekend, as I was making a wonderful chicken pie recipe, I did something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: I made my own cream of chicken soup. I knew it was a fairly simple thing to do but just had never taken the time to do so, even though I really [...]
Daily Bread…A (much-needed) new perspective
February 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I don’t know about you, but I want to walk in victory. I want to live a faith-filled life. I want to be the things I believe. But, more often than not, my faith and flesh are weak, my mind and heart are divided, and I walk around in defeat. And I hate it. Why? [...]
