September 11, 2013 By Meegan 1 Comment

Happy Wednesday.  Life is good. And, I hope you feel the same today, too!

I am happy to be sharing one of our all-time favorite meals today.  Do I say that every time?  Well, I mean it every time! I guess we just like food.  My garlic broccoli and shrimp skillet meal is quick, easy and only has 4 ingredients!  How much easier can it be??

Do you like broccoli?  Do you like shrimp? Do you like garlic?  If so, then this is the ideal meal for you!

My Lemon Truffle Chocolate Cake

August 20, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

I want to say it must have been about 25 yrs ago, I was watching Martha, yes THE Martha Stewart. She made a lemon cake with chocolate frosting. It looked so delish and inspired me to make my lemon truffle chocolate cake.  Why do I call it a truffle cake?  Because the flavors remind me of a See’s Candy lemon truffle.

Every night our neighbors leave a treat on the front door step is filled with cookies, cookies, and more cookies!  It has been so fun!  I love seeing the Christmas bags nicely decorated adorning our front step, then filled with delicious goodness.

As promised earlier today, I want to share this new cookie with you. Cookies are my favorite treat at Christmas. What about you?

Wedding Reception Ideas and Photos

November 6, 2012 By Meegan 31 Comments

Whew!!  We made it through our son’s wedding and reception this past weekend!!  It was beautiful, and sacred.  Our son was so handsome, and his new wife was just gorgeous.  It was a great time with all seven kids and 17 of the 18 grand babies.  The time is always too short when we are together.

I thought it would be fun to share a sampling  of a few Wedding Reception Ideas and Photos.  I hope you enjoy all of them…

Unfortunately, these pictures are NOT Good! This was LONG before quality cameras and phone cameras. These pictures are blurry and embarrassing, to say the least.
