Instant Pot Steel cut Oats
This method takes only a bit less time, but you don’t have to babysit it. Put it in the Instant Pot, set the timer, come back later when it’s all done. I make 3-4 servings at a time, then reheat in the microwave.
Sunset from The Pier Old Orchard Beach
Sunday evening we wandered down to the Pier area for Pier Fries, Lisa's Pizza, and a drink at the bar at the end of the Pier. I am still amazed at the pictures I can get with my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy).
Banana Pudding to die for
Whenever there is a potluck or a picnic, my name always ends up with the "dessert" assignment, and this Banana Pudding is always demanded. I've done it many ways: instant pudding mix with sugar, or the sugar-free version; skim milk, whole milk or 2%; regular Eagle...

The Princess and the Artist
I think Ella (the princess) will give her Papa fits when she is 15 or 16... and Lily (the artist) will have led the way! We travelled for holidays this year. Thanksgiving was spent in Florida with David and family. The girls shared their many interests with us:...
Cajun-Style Chicken Gumbo
Great for a cool weather meal, but light enough for summer! I use dark meat chicken to keep my spouse happy, but if I wasn't feeding him I would use white meat chicken. Enjoy! [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:5]
Christmas Wishes 2011
We wish you a joyful holiday season! May the New Year bring many reminders of the continuing birth of Jesus in our lives. Merry Christmas!
Cornbread Dressing
This is required at all of our family holiday meals. I learned how to do it by watching my Nanaw make it. Well seasoned iron skillet required. Since I will be celebrating Christmas with my children this year, my mom and I are fighting over custody of the iron skillet...
