Some days I just get a hankerin' for some good old southern food. Today is one of those days! Black eyed peas and ham with some old fashioned (not sweet) cornbread!

We are trying something new this year! The great pantry clean out! I'd love to have a friend or two join to help keep me accountable!
For 2 weeks we don't buy any groceries! Plan a two week menu with the food you have in your house. This will:
1. Save money
2. Use up items before they expire
3. Clean out your pantry/freezer
I may extend until the end of the month if this goes well. Who's in?

Accountability post!
This isn't a New Years Resolution. It's just time to get back on track after the holidays. The whole family is on board. 🙌
Who stores their produce in glass jars? It prolongs the life of your food!

How do ya'll eat leftover spaghetti?
We usually bake it with pepperoni and cheese, but tonight we fried it into spaghetti patties!
Just mix in a couple eggs and some parm cheese. Fry into patties, top with pepperoni and cheese. Mmmmm mmm! 😋🍝

Nothing beats homemade pie with scratch crust in a cast-iron skillet! Pecan pie for the hubby, and I'm going to try my hand at my Grandma Reba's old-fashioned chocolate pie!

Sometimes on Saturdays I like to surprise my family with a delicious (not so nutritious) breakfast. Today's concoction is crockpot cherry cinnamon roll cobbler 😋
You need:
21oz Cherry pie filling (any flavor will do! Apple would be good! 😍)
24 oz can of Cinnamon rolls (or two 12 oz cans)
About 1/2cup Heavy Whipping Cream (this is optional, I had some so I used it)
-Spray crockpot with baking spray.
-Add 1/2 the rolls
-Spread 1/2 the pie filling over top
-Repeat
-Drizzle the HWC over top
-Do not mix!
-Cook on low for 3 hours
-Before serving top with the cinnamon roll icing
Pic is not cooked - I'll add one in the comments when it's done 😊

Rare footage of my dad singing. Sadly, I only caught the tail end of it. I was enjoying the moment and it didn't dawn on me to record it until it was almost over. He even ends with a smile and a little chuckle. This video is cherished!
