The Two Most Important Days of Your Life
“The two most important days of your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.”
From My Cookbook… Diane’s Skillet Fried Toad-In-The-Hole
Now, mind you, this is not a proper British Toad-In-The-Hole. Rather, an Americanized version, often called Egg-In-A -Hole. Regardless, it’s fun to make and fun to eat. Bully!
Focus on Efforts, Not Results
Remember when we defined success? Success is deciding to succeed and striving toward that goal. You are already successful when you’ve decided to achieve a goal and make an effort toward it. Yes!
From My Cookbook… Dave’s Italian Style Broccoli
How about a simple and tasty way to eat healthy? Read on!
Ever Been Teased? Bullied? Discriminated Against? Yeah, Me Too. Succeed Anyway
Being teased, bullied, and discriminated against is an unfortunate fact of life. If you’ve experienced it, what can you do about it? Have the last laugh, overcome it, and succeed anyway. Own your future!
From My Cookbook… Dave’s Chili #7, Crockpot Chili
I like chili! In fact, I like chili so much that I’ve developed seven different versions. This version uses two meats, cooks all night, and finishes in the morning. Then, we do something different. And that is a key to many good chili recipes…
Like life, the hickory nut is tough. The squirrel is tougher. Be the squirrel
No matter how tough we think we are, if we are passive and just sit there, we will get eaten. Like the hickory nut. We have to be tougher than the hickory nut and be like the squirrel, so we can eat and not be eaten.
From My Cookbook… Dave’s Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
Jalapeño poppers are just a special kind of appetizer. Now, if you want to make them extra special, grow your own jalapeños, add half of a Little Smokie, and then wrap them in bacon. Oh Yeah! Now you’re talking!
Did the Stinking Rich Buy Their Way into Heaven?
Have you ever considered the possibility of buying your way into heaven? Yeah, neither have I. But perhaps the stinking rich did in the 1600s.
From My Cookbook… Dave's Southern Peach Cobbler
I can think of few things that say summer in the South better than peach cobbler. Here’s a delicious recipe for a crowd. Or, if you really want to be a friend, make one for a neighbor or extended family from wonderful summer peaches!
What is Success?
I have a few important questions. Among them is “What does success look like TO YOU?”
Where Have All the Husbands Gone?
This one is for you, men. I hope you’ll pay attention. Or it may be for the wives too, so, you know, they can show it to their husbands. Because men don’t always get the point and need to hear it. Yes, I said it.
From My Cookbook… Dave's Chicken Mac and Cheese Casserole
Who does not love mac and cheese, leftover rotisserie chicken, and a delicious casserole that feeds a crowd and provides leftovers for the week? Yes! This is all those things rolled into one! And you can ditch the box!
Enjoy the Ride, Be Happy
Life should be enjoyable. We should take time to stop and smell the roses.
