{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

Monday Make Me Smile-Jalapeno Poppers

Let me go ahead and tell you...these things made me smile, my man smile, my daughters smile and my soninloves smile! I think WE ALL SMILED!




Fresh Jalapenos out of my garden....I had around 10-12 peppers.Cut oblong in half. This gives you  20-22 peppers. You can half this recipe also. Take a spoon and scrape all seeds and membranes out. Wash good and drain. TIP: If you do not scrape all the seeds and membranes out I can assure you they will be HOTTER than a FIRECRACKER!


Mix up your filling for the peppers. For my large batch I mixed: 8 oz cream cheese room temperature with 1/2 to 3/4 cups of shredded cheese. What ever kind you choose. * I used Sharp*


Scoop cheese mixture into your little boats (is what I called them) Evenly as possible. Pack it in the boats good. I placed mine in the frig. to get cold for about 30 minutes. But you can leave in the frig. as long as you like.





Get your mixture ready. You will need three bowls. In the first bowl put 1 cup of all purpose flour with a pinch of salt and I also put a pinch of dried parsley that I had harvested but it isn't necessary. 2nd bowl: 1 cup milk. 3rd bowl: 1 cup of breadcrumbs. Plain or seasoned. (Your choice)





Start the process: Take filled Jalapenos and coat in milk and then in the flour and place back on your plate. After they are all coated then place in frig. for 15 minutes.


After 15 minutes take Jalapenos and coat in milk again and then roll in bread crumbs. Place back in your frig. for another 15 minutes.



DEEP FRY TIME! Put enough oil in your pan that it covers your poppers.Once oil is hot enough toss your poppers in the oil. DO NOT OVER CROWD. If you are frying quite a few you will do this in batches. Fry for 3 minutes. Take out and drain on paper towel and let them cool.



OOH.....look at that cheese oozing out!


Pretty and brown....


Crispy and oh so good.........I had some left and heated them up in the oven the next day. Was just as good!



Dang, I am going to have my own cooking show before it's over with!

TRY THEM...they will make you smile!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  5. I love hot stuff so I know I would love these, Cindy. Thank you for praying for Rea. She is doing well with the chemo treatments. She will have the tumor resected in 2 weeks. Please pray so it had shrunk enough to be easily taken out. I am only home for another 2 weeks and I am already booked to fly in time for her surgery.....Christine

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
