I hope that you all have been enjoying your weekend. We have had lots of rain and with trying to work outside this weekend well, it's been a hit and a miss! But I am enjoying a little bounty from my little garden and of course baking! And, trying out a new recipe for grilled chicken that I would like to share. SO GOOD!  Of course my family enjoyed the cake after Sunday dinner too.

YUM....yes I think I would like one of those please..... Who doesn't like chocolate covered strawberries or a piece of milk chocolate candy? My granddaughter Mallory Grace just turned 12 years old and she asked me to bake her birthday cake. Just something simple....Chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate covered strawberries.  Ladies, how can a Nana turn that down? Her wish came true.... Best chocolate icing recipe ever!

My well rounded girl for sure. My FAVORITE grandson...yes, he's my only grandson, plays basketball. Well, he likes all sports and one doesn't end before he's playing another sport. We sure enjoy watching him play whatever sport he's in. And, I took some time out for ME! A beautiful sun set sitting i

How about pickled banana peppers and pickled jalapeno peppers? I do believe this picture needs to go on the front of a magazine don't you? I just love it! And this one..... Loved these 1/2 pint cute jars! I decided to use the 1/2 pint jars for the peppers. I washed jars, lids and seals in hot soapy water and let them dry. Decided I would do some pepper rings and some half peppers. Washed the peppers, got all the seeds out and washed them again. (Recipe at end of post) Cut and diced like I wanted. I also used the same recipe for the Jalapeno peppers. I done a few rings and some half peppers. Garlic... YUM! I use one garlic per jar.
