Mr. Awesome, his dad, and his brother went fishing a bit ago and his brother had brought some tuna salad for lunch. I guess it was pretty good because I keep hearing about it and about how amazing it is to eat with Frito scoops! I haven’t tried it yet but plan to do so soon!
I never got the chance to meet Grannie but I’ve tried some of her recipes and they have been AMAZING so I’m sure this one will be too!

Hey y’all,
I hope you are doing well. You’ve probably noticed that a lot of my posts this year are some older posts and some of them include YouTube videos about various topics that I have spoken about before. Well, my time has been stretched a bit and I want to make sure to share information that I find helpful so sometimes when someone asks me about something that I’ve already posted about I don’t want to rewrite a whole new post so I might just update the old one or just reshare it if the information is still good.
Then sometimes I find YouTube videos that seem pretty helpful, and sometimes they are on subjects that I have been wanting to post about but just haven’t had time so I decide that it is best to share the video with you instead of waiting to get the post written because the list of posts that I intend to write keeps getting longer and longer.
I have many posts about our pantry and it is an important part of our everyday life but I do realize that some people don’t even know what pantry staples they should have to start with. This is a helpful video series that I found for building your pantry with just $5.00 a week. These suggestions will definitely help add flavor and variety into your meals and you might even learn to make a few new meals that become family favorites.
Hey everyone!
How is your new year going so far? We’ve been busy as usual and trying to get as much done as we can before the summer comes… although these lower-than-normal temperatures have been making that a little difficult.
Our gardens are still going and we are so thankful for that as we have really been enjoying the food that we are getting from them. Up until a week ago we still had tomatoes and green beans… the tomatoes don’t look too happy at the moment and the green beans are a little sad too but I think they might pull through when we get past these crazy temps.

This candy has been around for a while but I’ve never attempted to make it until I heard Papa reminiscing about it. I’ve meant to try it a few times but that was just the little push I needed to give it a go and my family is glad I did. They truly are divine and they almost melt in your mouth!
It’s a good thing that these will only be made for special occasions as they is FULL of SUGAR!
This recipe really isn’t too difficult but it can be a little tricky… having a candy thermometer and a stand mixer make it a little easier.
It takes about 30-45 minutes to make a batch from start to finish (including clean up) but I can take several hours for the candy to set up completely… try not to eat it all before then!
What are some old-fashioned recipes that you remember from your childhood? I’d love to hear about them in the comments below!
I made these up for last year but they have worked so well that we are keeping them around… I can spend less time meal planning and devote more time to other things that need my attention.
Here they are, all in one place:
The links should take you to each post where you can print out the meal plan.
Hope this helps!
