  • Just The Facts, M’am

    Many of you, okay, most of you, are probably too young to remember the old tv show Dragnet.  I can still hear Jack Webb’s voice, “Just the facts, M’am” when the crime victim wanted to go on and on about all of the little details that seemed important to her.  That’s how I feel now,…

  • What’s On Copper’s Table This Week

         I am home from church.  Again.  This week everyone but my husband is sick.  He was healthy and well and we all decided that the best way for him to stay that way was to go to church without us!  We’ve been taking it easy, for the most part, but I was able to…

  • Cherokee Casserole Recipe

    I don’t know why this is called “Cherokee” Casserole, but that’s the name I’ve always had for it. We used to be big casserole eaters, and this was one everyone liked. While I don’t make them as frequently as I once did, we do enjoy a good, hearty casserole from time to time. When my parents were both…

  • Recipe – Lisa’s Stuffed Loaf

    Many of you prayed faithfully these last few months for my friend Lisa, and that the Lord would keep her sweet baby, Grace, safe in the womb until His time.  As I mentioned earlier, Grace was born earlier this week and she is a healthy, beautiful baby girl! I saw her for the first time today. It…

  • Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe

    My boys are both under the weather. Dani’s sniffling a bit, too. Chicken Soup, they say, is good for what ails you.  I’m not sure that this semi-spicy, south-of-the-border version is quite what they had in mind, but it’s a recipe that we love. I hope it’s one that your family will enjoy, too. As you…

  • Garlic Bubble Loaf Bread Recipe

    It occurred to me, as I was making this bread today, that I have not made it for quite awhile. When Corin was still at home, she made this for us. A lot! A lot as in all the time. Not that I’m complaining, mind you, it’s delicious. I’m not sure how it fell out…

  • A Sample of My Week

         There’s a sample of my week, in pictures, available at that place where we are quiet. God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!Proverbs 31:27 

  • Not Impossible

          ….but not really successful either.  Tonight’s Impossible Ham & Cheese Pie, that is.  I was hoping to adapt one of my mom’s old recipes, but the cooking time was off.  The pie was still good, but I’ll wait to share the recipe with you once I’ve worked out the cooking time and temperature.     …

  • Recipe – Chinese Burger Patties

    As promised, here is the recipe for Chinese Burger Patties.  Grocery prices in our part of the country have risen significantly in the last three weeks or so.  Now, more than ever, finding new ways to dress up plain ol’ hamburger is a blessing.  These are quick and easy to make, and are juicy and…

  • I Would Ask That Your Read….

         I would ask that you read the words of Pastor James McDonald on the passing of our friend Eric Davis.      I would ask you now, dear sisters in the Lord, to lift up Heather and the six Davis children, not just today, but in the coming days and weeks, too.  Thank you. Edited to…
