Disclosure: I’m a member of Petit Jean’s Blue Diamond Club, which means they send me meat and other goodies and I write about it. I told everyone last week that I’ve finally hit the blogging big time because I got paid in meat. All opinions are my own, of course. May is a pretty darn […]
Super Simple Bread and Butter Pickles
I am not a pickle person. I never have been. I’m not particularly fond of dill, is my main problem. When I was younger, I would make pickles for 4-H, and people said they were good, but I never tried them. Now that I’m a little older, I can tolerate a pickle if I have […]

When I made these the other day I wrote on Facebook that we were having “pumpkin muffin cupcake things” for dessert, and one of my friends, well, I don’t know if she was really making fun of me calling them that, but it’s a pretty funny name. Still, I think that’s what they are. The […]
