The Laundry: Getting Ketchup Out of Blue Jeans 🧺

Image
I always wanted to be that kind of mom that can get anything out of her family’s clothes. So when Christopher Robin gets ketchup on his nice blue jeans at the church’s outdoor social, how do we get ‘em nice again for him? And thankfully, Google knows. Well at least, hopefully.   I rubbed the detergent in, now they’re soaking in warm water, I’ll wash ‘em in the morning, and then we’ll see.... 😉

The Cookie Jar: PB & Chocolate Oatmeal Energy Bars

The Dessert Table: (Breakfast) Banana Bars

Christopher Robin & I both thought this was really good as a dessert, but we’re not sure if it’s adequately nutritional to do for breakfast.... 😉 https://www.crazyforcrust.com/banana-breakfast-bars/  

The Southern Holler: Ham & Beans & Cornbread

Image
To be a true Southern cook, you’ve gotta be able to whip up some beans & cornbread, right? Well, I didn’t grow up with ‘em, but I’m learnin’....  I love how this recipe for beans encourages taking out the ham hock, shredding the ham, and adding it back into the beans. Also might’ve broken up a couple bay leaves into little bits, sprinkled in a good amount of onion powder, and added a couple spoonfuls of minced garlic along with a few beef bouillon cubes. Oh, and the cornbread recipe was just the one on the back of the cornmeal. “Excellent,” said Christopher Robin. And even Eeyore said, “Fantastic; you can make those anytime.” Ruby liked the cornbread and tried 2 beans. Roo ate some cornbread crumbles in his veggie-brown-rice-turkey purée, and I Kanga thought they were pretty delicious too. Gotta love a good recipe! 😉  https://southernbite.com/southern-lima-beans-butter-beans/
