Paying it Forward

Let’s be real, a lot of these kids have legitimate reasons to be focused on their own situations, these kids that will never have a “normal” life. But I have seen some of the coolest and most selfless things coming out of these kids.

DIY Snow Cone Syrups

About a year ago (almost exactly, actually), we bought a snow cone maker. Along with it, we bought a couple bottles of snow cone syrup. It has taken a whole year, but we have finally run out of syrups. Michelle said, “I bet we can make some…”

It’s Barbecue Time!

If we are going to move forward with talking about barbecue, we need to straighten something out. Barbecue is not a cookout or a party. Those are called… well, cookouts and parties.

Southern Fried Pickles

M.I.A.

So, I’m coming up on the 1 year birthday of this blog, but I haven’t posted in three weeks! I’m sorry for the absence, but we have been dealing with sickness, family stuff, and other things that have taken my attention away from posting. I hope to get back in the kitchen and posting soon,…
