Admit it . . you think Vince butchered a chicken and he's eating it for dinner! No. Chad is cooking dinner. Chad has a nice little area set up for his smoker. He pulled them off the smoker and I got to have a few bites to try. Yummy! Cannot wait til dinner. Chad tells me this is his version of "cupcake chicken" and he combined several recipes so if you're interested in making it, ...

Smoked Chicken
Yesterday I smoked a chicken. I know I say this about everything but I really love smoked chicken. Normally I smoke two at a time. I love chicken salad made with smoked chicken and I love gumbo made with smoked chicken. Since I'm going out of town in a few days, I figured one chicken would give us enough to eat yesterday and then save some leftovers for a couple of meals for Vince while I'm ...
The Chicken, Avocado, Lime Soup
I'm probably the weirdest sick person ever. Please don't comment on that statement! :) I feel horrible. I go to bed and sleep for a couple of hours, I get up and do all kinds of stuff, then feel horrible, then go back to bed for a couple of hours, get up and do all kinds of stuff. Poor Vince. When he's sick, he sits and feels bad for days. After we ate, I felt bad, went back to bed, just got ...
Smothered Chicken With Gravy
One of my favorite meals is smothered chicken with gravy. I know what you're thinking . . every meal is my favorite meal but anything with rice and gravy .. yum! When we were in Louisiana, we ate at MamaReta's Kitchen. She serves "soul food" and the day we were there, the special was smothered chicken, rice and gravy so I was happy. I've hardly stopped thinking about that meal since we left ...
Chicken and Brown Gravy
While here, I've been trying to cook meals that I could freeze for my uncle to have when I'm gone. It's not easy cooking in someone else's kitchen. My aunt has a pantry full of stuff but, for the most part, it isn't the kind of stuff I use . . which seems weird to me that such a well stocked pantry could be of so little benefit to one cook but work so well for another. We're all different I ...
A Few Hours of Cooking
Almost every day when we sit down to eat, I say to myself . . "I'm so happy I love to cook!" There's a serious lack of good restaurants around here. Friday afternoon Vince said "Do you want to go out to eat?" I said "Where?" We couldn't come up with a single place we'd like to eat. That's kinda sad but probably good for our pocketbook. I think how much I dislike housekeeping and the house ...
