Texas Caviar
For years I have avoided “Texas Caviar” salsa. It was the corn. I like corn, but for some reason corn in salsa turned me off. Until a few months ago, when I went to a bridal shower and decided to give it a try. Oh my. Why did I wait so long?!? It was delicious!...

Max, Sam and Ottie are taste testing the stuffing, Henry is hanging out at my feet while I cook, Ella and Max designed a box for the tooth paste we are collecting for the Parish Kitchen, And they read some Thanksgiving stories. What are you and your family doing on Thanksgiving Eve?

Easy Crochet Pattern ~ The Little People Hat
I finished Henry’s winter hat last night. It took me one week to make. Because I am slow. It probably would have taken my crocheting mentor, Auntie Annie, about an hour to make. I am still pretty new & slow and I have to sneak in these little pockets of time for crocheting. It calms...
