Georgia Cornbread made with Alabama Pecans

If pecan pie and pound cake fell in love, got married and had a baby it would be Georgia Cornbread.

My mother-in-law made this at Christmas and it was fantastic. I kept thinking about it and thinking about it. Then I found a huge bag of pecans in my deep freezer. My GDaddy had given them to me. How did I forget those???

Have you seen the price for pecans? Girl, when you find some in your freezer you eat them and giggle that they didn't cost you a penny.

I wanted to make something different. And my supplies are dwindling. But Georgia cornbread provided the answer. I have all the. Click here for more.

A garden, a baby and a side porch

Let's get down to business of why were here on Take it on Tuesday: my husband built me a raised bed garden for our vegetables. We were so late getting things planted! Click here for more.

Veggie Loaded Lasagna Casserole

Last week I wanted to make vegeterian lasagna. Once a week we go meatless for dinner. No fish. No meat. Nothing. I figure if I put enough cheese on it my carnivore husband won't notice. ;)

So I was busy preparing my veggie loaded lasagna when I realized I didn't have any lasagna noodles. But I had seen a recipe for lasagna casserole so I decided to just make that. Only later when moving some things around in my cabinet I found an unopened box of lasagna noodles! For real! I need some sort of pantry inventory system. Suggestions?

At any rate. The casserole turned out fantastic and I had enough to make two pans, one for now and one to freeze.

So here it is!

And the winner is...

Too busy laughing to cook

My son is at that age where everything is funny. It is wonderful and I love it. Here is a video of him laughing his head off at me pretending to be his stuffed goat. I love him.
