New blog.

 Welcome to my blog.
 I've been married to the love of my life for 24 years. We have 3 kids, ages 24, 18 and 7. We also have 2 grand kids, age 4 and 2. 
Life is both fun and challenging. We have learned allot about life over the years and I hope my experiences can help others in some way. We've been thrown a few curve balls in the past and somehow have always been able to catch them and run  with it or throw it back. My philosophy is to deal with it the best you can. (if that doesn't help then grab a beer and come back to it tomorrow).
 To start this off I am sharing one of my family's favorite recipes. Please don't be offended by the name...my oldest child called it that when she was a young teen and it stuck. I came up with this very early in my marriage when money was almost non-existent. Hope y'all enjoy!!
