This Cowboy Cookie recipe, also known as Texas Governor’s Mansion Cookies, is Laura Bush’s recipe.  They are filled with oats, chocolate chips, shredded coconut and walnuts!

Recently my sister-in-law texted me a link with a picture of a cookie and the title read ‘Cowboy Cookie’.  I’m always cautious about opening things even if it’s a link from a family member- accounts hacked, spam, etc. Continue reading “Cowboy Cookies – Small Batch”

This recipe for broccoli, cheese and rice soup is so good.  It’s a comfort food for these cool Spring days we are having right now.

We eat a lot of homemade soups during Fall and Winter.  By this time of year I would like to have moved most of the dinner meals outside to the grill.  But it seems to be VERY slow to warm up this year.  In fact it sleeted and snowed here yesterday.  I’m kind of over Winter…..

There is a parade in our downtown area and afterwards they close down the Main Street and it becomes a crazy afternoon and evening with a lot of green attire and of course, green beer. Continue reading “Sheppard’s Pie”

We’ve recently been doing Meatless Monday.

Yeah, I know it’s a catchy phrase (actually it is an international health initiative encouraging people to go meatless one day a week) and is being used more and more lately, but we decided to get on the movement and give it a try.

Most of the inspiration to do so came from my daughter-in-law.  She recommended that we watch a documentary on Netflix about plant-based diets and the benefits. ‘Game Changers‘ is about eating only a plant-based diet and the effects it has on your lifestyle.  It is interesting but upon further search (Google) I read where it is a biased documentary with misleading information.  Personally, this doesn’t affect our household of two – we like our meat and have no intention of turning into vegetarians or vegans!
