Before I “punch” you, ;) I want to say thank you to so many of you who have joined me on Facebook. I have a new page there for my cooking segment series on Good Morning East Texas; I’ll be posting recipes and videos and pictures along the way as I work for KLTV7. If … Continue reading »
Today begins a new journey for me! As you know if you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, I’ve done several cooking segments on KLTV7 in Tyler, Texas over the past few months. I’ve had the best time doing so, which has honestly shocked me, as I have always been a bit camera shy. I’ve met some … Continue reading »
I’ve been reading many beautiful food blogs this week, as I love to get good ideas from talented home cooks, chefs and bakers. It’s hard to navigate them all, trust me, as there are thousands upon thousands of them! I’m just thankful that you’ve come across mine, because I am so happy to share what … Continue reading »

I love the look of these little almond-shaped fruits; they’re called pepinos. These are not intimidating, as some of the other exotic things we’ve discussed may have seemed. They are smallish, smooth, and pretty; no horns, bristles, or any other weird protrusions. Aren’t you glad? Pepinos are relatives of the tomato and eggplant, and are … Continue reading »
I saw one of the absolute weirdest-looking fruits in the produce department recently. I really don’t know why or when someone thought, “Hey, I think I’ll eat that thing,” but someone did, and apparently they liked it enough that lots of people now like it. Look at these things: Please, if you’ve ever … Continue reading »

Check it out: I want to share with you what I’ve been reading about this crazy fruit which … Continue reading »
