Food Friday

I love an oyster. I wish this tray of goodness was in front of me instead of this keyboard! Last weekend Randall intended to take me to eat them, but we ended up in the play area of McDonald's eating chicken. The things we do to please our children and get the wiggles out after a long car ride. It was a memory, that is for sure! Randall WILL be taking me back over the flooded Mighty Mississippi to eat them again really soon... and Henry will be visiting his Grandaddy or his favorite M'Town cousins while Mama gets her eat on!



King Ranch Chicken is so yummy. Mama made this alot when we were growing up and it was always a favorite in our family. I made this for our neighbors this week. It was tough taking it out of the house all warm and ready without eating any of it! For those of you who don't have a recipe for this yummy dish, here it is:




1 cooked chicken - deboned and diced


1 can Rotel


1 can cream of mushroom soup


1 can gumbo soup


tortilla chips


shredded cheese




Mix soups and Rotel together. Layer chips, chicken, soup and cheese in a greased 13x9 pan until full. Top with lots of cheese. Cook at 375 degrees until bubbly. I serve french bread and salad with this dish. It should serve 6.




It is not Food Friday without my little foodie. He loves the idea of drinking water out of a cup. It is always a wet and fun mess. He had just taken a drink in this picture...oh, how I love that wet face!


Happy Food Friday!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
