Drunken Pork Chops

August 31, 2010

I stumbled across this recipe posted by Siggy Spice, and just knew I had to try it immediately. After all DT’s favorite is pork chops. Now smothered in beer, sugar and ketchup how could it get any better? The recipe calls for any dark beer and Shiner Bock is something we always have on hand, [...]

A hot day around the “farm”

August 28, 2010

Just a typical hot August summer day, and the boys wanted to play outside and were we do just about anything to survive the heat. I put a sprinkler out for the boys to play with, water the grass and the chickens also enjoy walking in the cool water and getting a cool drink. Minnie [...]

Patty Melts

August 24, 2010

What could be better than a grilled cheese / burger combo? Not much in the opinion of my hubby DT, and two little ravenous boys, who just gobbled these down. They remind me of a patty melt you would get at your local hometown diner, or something you would see on Diner’s Dive-ins and dives. [...]

My backyard chickens eggs

August 20, 2010

This egg recall really has me thinking about raising chickens. Initially, it started for the eggs, oh the glorious beautiful, golden yolk eggs. I was spoiled on these truly free range eggs from my in-laws, and hadn’t bought a egg in months. Until one day I ran out and had to buy pale, no flavor, [...]

Meet the Newlyweds

August 19, 2010

Welcome to Meet the Newlyweds, today we are featuring Ryan and Meg. Morning Cup with Meg is a little about everything, as Meg puts it; coffee and conversation, one of life’s greatest pleasures. Shes been blogging for quite some time now (since 2007) so I spent some time looking through the archives, and how much [...]

The Caterpillar and the Fly

August 18, 2010

Lookie what I found in my tomato plants the other day. This caterpillar is literally as big as my index finger, probably a good 3 inches. The only reason I noticed it, besides if being so huge, was that it was flopping around, because apparently a fly was bothering it. I couldn’t figure out what [...]

Guava Cheese Turnovers (Guava Pastelillos)

August 17, 2010

I love to try new (to me) ingredients. I was watching food network the other day and Daisy Martinez made these turnovers using Guava Paste. I had never heard of this interesting ingredient and immediately sparked my interest so I went to my local grocery store and sure enough they had it. The flavor of [...]
