Why is it when your Mom bakes cookies they come out perfect? Her chocolate chip cookies are flat and chewy, mine are puffy and hard. Her peanut blossom cookies are puffy and mine are flat and hard. So I decided that while I was visiting her this week I would MAKE her show me how to bake cookies. Let me tell you that it is a challenge because we are both stubborn and controlling. It was an interest

This is great! These very easy step-by-step video instructions explain how to turn a gingerbread man into a reindeer cookie! You can either use store bought gingerbread men or make your own. Enjoy!

We were talking about favorite recipes this morning.  David loves enchiladas. It's his Mom's recipe and they are super easy to make. I never got to meet David's Mother but I picture her laughing at me every time I make them. I make a horrible mess of the kitchen when I make them.

Every time I step outside and it 'feels' like winter, I think of a hot soup or stew with some homemade bread.  Unless it is Sunday and we have lots of time, the bread thing isn't an option -- but a great, warm bowl of stew or soup is!  Here are some of our family tips and tricks, along with a beef stew with three variations that will warm your tummy.  Have a recipe to share?  Post it below!

Traditionally, the turkey is the star of Thanksgiving. But a truly memorable, well-rounded, belt-loosening, nap-inducing meal features a stellar supporting cast as well.

David absolutely LOVES my brownies. I don't make them very often or we would both be way overweight. They are a special treat around our house so I will share the recipe with you, on one condition, don't tell my husband they come from a box!

Salsa sales in the United States now double those of ketchup.  Why not?  You can put them both on eggs, Salsa feels healthier than sweet, sweet ketchup.  You can use Salsa to replace ketchup in almost every situation (maybe with the exception of straight french fry consumption)...

Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like teq

Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. A large - no make that a main staple of breakfast plates all over the country. Especially here in Oklahoma.

The 139th running of the Kentucky Derby is this weekend, and that can mean only one thing: Mint Juleps. (And hot southern chicks in oversized bonnets, but we'll focus on the drinks for now.) Just in case you've never had a Mint Julep because it sounds like a cocktail Miss Daisy would drink as she's being driven around, you should know the main ingredient is a healthy pour of bourbon...

I have an old cookbook from David's great grandmother.  I love that cookbook.  If I am going to make anything I have to check the Mace Family cookbook for a recipe first.  If there is one in there I have to make it over any other recipe I have. I guess that's part of being married to a Mace.
