Thoughts On Stuffed Bell Peppers:

As a child, I wasn't fond of vegetables at dinner time but I always ate them when served for dinner. That's how I was raised but when my mother made stuffed bell peppers I really enjoyed them. They have always been one of my favorite foods. Stuffed Bell Peppers have a flavor that stands out and many people want them. Some recipes add other seasonings but I think the simplicity of this recipe helps the bell pepper flavor to stand out.

My Thoughts For Today:

For those with a DREAM!

My wife bought me a T-shirt. As a Missouri resident, I do play the Missouri lottery on occasion. I don't spend a lot, just a dollar or two. The dream of winning the lottery lives in most of us. I have won small amounts but I believe I will hit a jackpot. When I do you can be sure I will share my adventure with you here.

What would you do if you won the lottery jackpot? It is fun to think about. Maybe you would share with family and friends. You could take an exotic vacation and experience what it is like to live in financial freedom. Can you imagine it? I try to live each day with the feeling of being a lottery winner. I think with gratitude for all the blessings in my life. I am grateful for family, friends, and health. This is the real state I try to live in every day. Do you do this? Even if it is a cup of coffee at home where the quietness of life can be enjoyed, it can be something to be grateful for. Can you list some of your blessings? I believe you can if you think about it. Give it a try!

Keep on cooking!

My Thoughts For Today:


Fog in rural Missouri


See the line of fog?


My youngest daughter recently received her driving permit, allowing me to enjoy viewing the beauty of our area while in the car. She loves driving and I want the views outside the car. Living in Southwest Missouri is such a blessing. Many rural roads can be traveled. It is common to drive by small dairy farms and see cows, horses, or smaller animals. I have traveled to many places in the United States but there's no place like home. I love the dirt I'm from. Some farms grow food crops. The most common food crop here in Southwest Missouri is corn. Corn grows well here.

Thoughts On Strawberry Pretzel Pie:


This great Strawberry Pretzel Pie is not only tasty, but it is super delicious! I will always remember my first job. I worked at a local restaurant and they make strawberry pies there. The restaurant was famous for its "Little Round Pies" and those who lived away would always stop in to get their pie while traveling. The restaurant served several flavors of pies but my favorite was strawberry. The crust was good but it was not like the one in this recipe. The salty flavor of the pretzel contrasting with the sweetness will make your tastebuds dance.

My Thoughts On Tater Tot Casserole:

This is one of the easiest recipes to put together. There are not that many ingredients and it is very easy to put it all together and put it in the oven. If you don't like peas you can replace peas with your favorite vegetable. As a kid, I always enjoyed tater tots and still do from time to time. To me, what makes this recipe so good is the mixture of the cream of mushroom soup and the cream of chicken soup along with the hamburger. It provides and great tasting sauce for the hamburger and potato mix.

My Thoughts For The Day:

Peacock Dickerson Park Zoo - Springfield, Mo.

This past weekend we took a trip to the local zoo to celebrate my oldest granddaughter's birthday. It was fun to see her enjoy seeing the animals. It was a sunny warm day and there were lots of people there enjoying the zoo. My granddaughter turned four years old and I would think this trip will be a memory for her for the rest of her life. It is interesting how events in life we experience can stay with us throughout our lives. I remember being four years old and getting to go to the zoo. I can't remember the whole day but I definitely remember the zoo and some things about being at the zoo.

I saw a male peacock at the zoo perched on a fence and decided to get a quick picture before he jumped down. Later I saw him raising and shaking his feathers for a female peacock. The female did seem impressed. It was very fun to witness and it was a great day.

Thanks for reading my thoughts on the day. I hope you enjoy the tater tot casserole recipe and remember to stay positive and keep on cooking!
