To my son: As I watched you get ready for your first day of your junior year of high school, I thought to myself you were that three pound one ounce baby I just brought home.  You were so small I thought how can I do this by myself? But I knew I was strong…

While I was out today, God reminded me of how blessed I am. Sometimes I think I take that for granted. When I see others walking with ragged clothes and no shoes on, my heart hurts for them — wanting to help. It’s nice to be able to eat, and have clothes on my back,…

Last weekend I took off to spend time with my son and two of his friends, as well as friends of mine who were also camping. Friday evening was filled with cooking burgers on the grill and making s’mores. The kids sang songs and laughed. Then the kids went fishing and ended with Billy catching…

As I sit and ponder on my day, I remember things that my mother used to say to me. Do you remember, “it’s not how you do your job it’s if you do to the best of your ability”?  The one thing I could count on was my mom’s good cooking. No matter what kind…

I remember being younger and Mom and Dad had a garden. It was huge. Dad planted everything.  I remember, at picking time, we always had the best vegetables around.

This week’s recipe is one I made up, and I never thought it would turn out to be such a big hit.  I recently made BBQ Pork Sandwiches for a vendor show at my church.  Everyone was coming up to me saying how delicious it was. You know my heart was huge with happiness.  You…

This week’s recipe — Breakfast Burritos — comes from me just sitting on my porch and watching God’s creations.  A lot of times, I get ideas through my mind when I’m resting in the quiet.  Also, this recipe is good because my husband likes anything you can make last and mix all together. He will…

Hi again,  The recipe I’m sharing in this blog post is near and dear to my heart because the recipe was my mother’s (who has passed). Mom was always making her own recipes or finding new ones to cook for us kids.  This hotdog sauce is one of my favorites that I believe she made…

Hi readers! It’s Tina Rucker, Food Blogger. Today as I was cleaning out my fridge, I found so many items that I hate to waste. So I told myself, instead of wasting all these things, you could make a salad with those items that could feed others.  So as I’m making the salad, God said,…

I was told all my life that I would never have kids. Then, at the age of 37, I found myself pregnant. What a miracle! And that was before I was saved. I started cooking in a small hometown restaurant and that started my love of feeding people. I’ve cooked in hundreds of places and…
