This is the last of my holiday weekend cooking frenzy. We wanted to grill, but the weather was so iffy that I just put the pork chops in the crock pot. I have using this recipe for about 5 years. Even my sister likes this and she doesn’t like much (lol). The chops come out…

Fried Okra
I wonder how many pounds we have gained this weekend. We’ve done a lot of cooking and not enough exercising. I know I’ll be in the gym at 6 in the morning!This was my first time frying okra. Mr. G brought some home so I decided to boil half and fry half. I think I…
Blueberry Yum Yum
Yes, another dessert. That’s why I need to run! I got this recipe from a woman who was in the same Christian small study class with me 5 years ago. It got its name from her grandkids. It is simple and the blueberries can be substituted for another pie filling. Blueberry Yum Yum From JoJo…
Lemonade Pie
Let me apologize in advance for not having a picture of this pie. I took them both to a cookout without taking my camera out. Anyway…this pie has a story to go along with it. I had these pies in my hands when I first saw Mr. G. We were at a mutual friend’s housewarming…
Warm Artichoke and Collard Greens Dip
Yes, you read it right…instead of spinach I used collard greens. I read about this recipe in The Neely’s (from the Food Network) new cookbook “Down Home with the Neelys”. I copied the recipe since it was my mom’s book and didn’t think too much of it until I saw it on their show a…
Peach Sangria

Chunky Chicken Pot Pie
I thought that since its been cool lately, I will pull out my pot pie recipe. The temperature did get into the low 70s but since I had already defrosted my chicken, I still went forth and made pot pie! This is a recipe I have played around with over this past year and I…
Decisions, Decisions
Its been almost a week since I’ve blogged! I’ve been a busy girl! Mr. G and I have been shopping around for a new oven and trying to make a decision. We know for sure it needs to be electric. We have decided on black. Now there is the convection vs. conventional question. I’ve done…
