The Way to a Man's Heart- Brown Sugar Broccoli #recipe #goodeats

The Way to a Man's ♥ Brown Sugar Broccoli It's a given that not everybody likes broccoli. My husband sure doesn't and I used to forgo my desire for it because no one else in the house would eat it. Now my daughter will eat it but normally my stepson, who's 15 doesn't like it either because his mom fixes broccoli & cheese sauce and he HATES it...BUT, he loves broccoli when I fix it this way and it's one of the quickest, easiest recipes I've come up with. It has a wonderful Asian flare to it...

The Way to a Man's ♥- Easy Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients-
2 Chicken Breasts
2 Chicken broth boxes
1/2 stick of butter

Mother Nature Mondays~ #TigerLilies & Memories #beauty #childhood #friendships

It would seem that the spring flowers are winding down in my yard. My rose bushes are all flowered out, at least for the moment until they start to gain new growth. I know I have day-lilies on their way in and gladiolus, but for now here are my tiger lilies that stand tall and willowy next the front porch and down near the kids' swing set.
Tiger lilies grow quite wild here in Kentucky, often seen on the roadside in the country and always bring a smile to my face cause they remind me of my Mom'...

Mother Nature Monday- Everything's Coming Up #Roses #beauty #flowers

It's another wonderful Monday and we're closing in on the beginning of Summer, so time again to share more beautification from my yard, and my mom's yard- pictures I took while I was up visiting in the last part of May.
  My yard is looking a mite bare now of roses as they've all petered out, but my mom's red, pink and yellow knock-out roses are probably still thriving- and SO beautiful!












 Pull up a chair and enjoy!
