Deer Season
The time is drawing near for pulling out all of those favorite venison recipes! There is absolutely nothing you can't make with the right cut of venison. Keep in mind that proper cleaning of you meat is the key to having something good to eat and a stringy, terrible tasting mess. You or your processor should remove the thick outer layer that protects the beautiful, delicious meat that we love so well. Venison is one of the leanest of all red meat. Totally organic, without any growth hormones or additives. Enjoy the hunt and the food!!

Teenage Responsibility
This guest post from Edgardo Rosa
I have recently rejoined the work force after being a stay at home more for the past 15 years. At first I was going to hire a babysitter but my 15 year old told me that would be like calling her a baby. So starting next week she will be in charge of watching herself and her 2 younger siblings that are 13 and 11. I am confident that she will do just fine but I can’t help but worry, I am a mother after all.
I was worrying so much that my husband calledBurbank ADT to help ease my mind a bit. It has about 80% or so. Of course we still have to lay out the ground rules for her. She’s not allowed to have any friends over unless we say it’s okay. They are to come straight home when they get off of the bus and do their homework. I just hope they can all get along. I am confident that she will be able to follow all the rules just fine.

Unique Gifts
It's hard to come up with different gifts or treats for all of those who are important in our lives. The age range, the difference in style and taste. It can take days or even weeks to come up with the perfect gift. That's why I had to share my new find with all my friends.
I was looking for Easter baskets for both young and old and came across www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com this is an incredible site!!! Not only do they have the Easter baskets that I was looking for, they have baskets for every occasion that you can think of. I just couldn't keep this one to myself, so check them out I'm sure someone you love will be glad you did.

Country Living
Guest post from: Joe Castro
My husband and I are moving to a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee and I am so excited! He is in the country music industry so it just makes sense to move to the country music capitol! I absolutely love Nashville.
We went there a few weeks ago on a home finding mission. And we found one and purchased it! I logged on to www.directstartv.com to check out the services there. And then I called all the other utility services and scheduled those appointments. Once moved, we should have all utilities on within a couple of days. I am going to spend some time driving around Nashville and other surrounding towns where the country stars live and look at their homes!
Nashville residents are great about leaving the stars alone to live among them. They do not crowd them for autographs or pictures, which they appreciate. We will live in Antioch. All these small towns that surround Nashville are great communities. And the land is so spread out with white picket fences surrounding the tracks of land, homes and horses! It is just beautiful!

Breakfast with the Kids
I had big plans for getting up in the morning and making a big breakfast since everyone would be home, but there was only one catch, I remembered I have to work tomorrow.lol So I did the next best thing, I got up this morning and made chocolate gravy and chicken biscuits. It took me a while to remember exactly how to fix the gravy it had been so long since I had made it. Chocolate gravy was my Mom's signature dish! My kids and their friends grew up with that as a special treat. (Chocolate gravy recipe is posted one Oct 26, 2010)
It was really nice to have breakfast with the family before everyone had to go their separate ways. I hope you all have a blessed day.

Moving Out Of Town
Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel
A few years ago my husband and I decided to move out to a rural area. We were both raised in that fashion, and wanted our three children to have a simpler life. We also missed having a large property to roam. We wanted to get back into riding horses and growing some of our own food. We felt like our children were being swallowed up by big city.
We spent all of our free time shuttling them between school and extracurricular activities, and they knew absolutely nothing about the outdoors. They actually thought food came from a supermarket, and they had no idea about the process involved. We knew moving would be a major change for our family, but we also knew it was the right move.
When we spoke to the kids about it, we told them we would try to keep most of the modern luxuries we had to get them on board. We had to get our internet service from get.wildblue.com, so that would be a little different. The only thing that would change is that they would have more free time, and be able to spend most of it in the great outdoors.

Cubed Venison
Last night I wanted to make an All American kind of dinner, so we had cubed venison, creamed corn and mashed potatoes.
2 pounds of cubed venison brown them in skillet, using vegetable spray, then put them in a casserole dish.
1 can of mushroom soup- mix in 3/4 can of water and heat in the same skillet so that you are using the drippings from your venison...pour over the meat in the casserole dish. Cover and put in a 300 degree oven for about 45 minutes.
Then make any side dishes you and your family enjoys.
Have a blessed day!

Potato Candy
Over the holidays I made some of our favorite traditional treats. It just wouldn't be Christmas without potato candy! We all really enjoyed it. When we were down to the last few pieces my granddaughter who is 8 ask me, "MawMaw, does it have to be Christmas to make potato candy?". I laughed and told her no, but because it has so much sugar in it let's wait a week or two before we make more.
Her birthday is coming up and I think I will make a small batch and put it in a tub just for her! That would probably be just as great as anything I could go out and buy.
Have a blessed day!

Diets
Diets are on again and off again. Which ones work, which ones don't! One of the most popular New Year's resolutions is to lose weight and get more healthy. I have come to the conclusion that a diet is only what you make of it.
What works for one person may not work for another. The way I lost weight last year was to avoid things that were white, like bread, potatoes, and rice. I try to include more fruits and veggies and I have a cheat day so that I don't fill like I am punishing myself. The next step is to try to work in some kind of exercise program. Last year I was able to walk about a mile and a half a day. I am not sure how much walking I will be able to do this year because I have been having a problem with my foot. I may have to find some other form of exercise. My son has a real nice weight machine, I may try to work out on it two or three times a week. I have read that women my age should weight train regularly to help build bone density to avoid osteoporosis.
I wish you luck if you are trying to lose weight and get in better health. Let's make 2012 a healthier year for all of us.

Good Morning America
I appreciate the guest post, Marian Combs
Good Morning America is my favorite thing to watch in the morning when I am getting ready and drinking my coffee. I will get up and turn on the television and turn it to ABC to get the news from background noise in my apartment. Once I start hearing that the commercials have gone off and Robin Roberts comes back on I will sit down to eat breakfast and drink my morning coffee.
My favorite anchor on there is Robin Roberts with Josh a close second. Now they have a new weekend weather person who is called Ginger Zee. She used to be on a local channel and is now on a national show. Also she is dating a guy on another show I watch called Storm Chasers. That is right Reid Timmer is her boyfriend and they chase storms together. Kind of makes you want to be friends with her right? I mean, it makes me want to be friends with her for sure!
I digress, back to Good Morning America, go check out http://www.expertsatellite.com/direct-tv-packages.html to see if you are getting the best deal on your cable and then go watch GMA every morning. You will love it!

Wild and Crazy
My work schedule through the holidays has been absolutely crazy!! I haven't had much time to do anything but eat and sleep. Now that we are moving into a New Year I pray that not only can I make my own life better, but that everyone I know or who reads my blogs will have the best year ever.
