Just A Gal...

about me

Hello Fellow Recipe Junkies,
I just love checking out everyone’s profile so I thought I would share a bit about me, just in case you are like me and enjoy it also. I am a housewife living in Texas. 4 years ago I quite working in a semi cooperate world. I have been married for 23 years to my high school sweetheart. I guess that would make him my adult sweetheart too

One day I was walking by the window and noticed my puppy setting in my flower pot. I can't believe I caught him with my camera to have a picture of him setting in it to share. I have no idea why he did it, just know I loved it, it was so funny!!! He has put a lot of joy in my life!

I am going to start canning and freeze food this year. I want to have meals ready for those nights you just don't want to cook and yet don't want to go out... At my home that could be several nights in a row.

I wanted to find an easy way to plan a menu. Although I enjoy to cook, I have a problem with formulating a menu every two weeks to a month. I had mentioned that I found Life as Mom blog with Meal Planning the 1950's way. Will I thought I would share with you the formula I came up after finding this wonderful tool. This is based on my family likes and eating habits.

As far as how I rate a recipe... if my family loves it and it is easy to follow, it is a great recipe... anything other than that is factored into my rating for each recipe.

Favorite Foods:

I love fruits! Pies! I have won a blue ribbon for my apple pie, I have been more into cherry pies the past couple of years. Now that is the best of both of my favorites in my mind, fruit pies. I was brought up in the mid-west and love all the "homey" foods too.
Restaurant's I enjoy are Logan's Run and I like a restaurant we tried while traveling called The Cotton Patch.
