I think the worst of cooking is the cleaning up. And I think the worst part of cleaning up is the pots. One-pot meals can make a difference in your after meal enjoyment

Nobody ever recommended Tator Tots as a healthy food. But when you’re in a slump, woebegone, down in the dumps, morose, or just plain feeling blue, a dish full of Tator Tots is the prescription I recommend. Yes, maybe a banana split could help a lot, but tots are salty so they can be classed as a meal, and there are many, many ways to serve them up.

Nine years ago, a group of parents identified a need to improve the playground at Meaux Elementary School and decided to form a committee with the goal of bringing positive change to the Meaux community.

YEP! Easter is a week away. My weather app says Easter Day will present “Broken clouds, a high of 82, and a low of 61.” I think broken clouds mean partly sunny, and I would be happy with that. Of course, we all know that this report can change 7 times in the next 7 days. Louisiana weather, “love it or leave it”. I’ll never leave Louisiana and my Mom Mom Chalice (ka lees) said we shouldn’t complain about the weather because God gave it to us. I’ve lived with that rule my whole life, but sometimes I ask “Why, God?”
