Mississippi State Basketball and Gluten Free Travel Reviews.

 We are enjoying our weekend with the kids. We got here on Thursday morning and had to unload the truck and leave to drive Honey's older brother to Tuscaloosa. We stopped by B and A's to see them one minute before we got on our way. I always hate to just kiss punkin and then leave, I want to stay and play.

Thursday turned out to be a good day, Honey's brother has lots of issues in his life and when we spend time with him we always realize that it could be the last time we are together. When we arrived to pick him up he had bought me flowers and a box of cookies. It was so sweet of him but I can't make him understand that I can't eat the cookies. I told Honey when he ask about how I liked them just tell him I'm working on them.

We arrived back to the farm in time to eat supper with B and A, and to see Punkin in one of her Christmas outfits. A had taken her to see Santa at "Sisters Photography" studio and she was scared of him. We're hoping that she will enjoy breakfast with Santa at North Greenwood Baptist in a few weeks.

Punkin gives all of us love all the time now, needless to say we don't mind.

So on Friday the men worked and we rested then Saturday we spent the day in Starkvegas where we watched the bulldogs 1st basketball game of the season. It was an exhibition game but that's ok with me as long as I see them play. Sorry friends you'll be hearing a lot about basketball for a while now, I watch every game possible. By the way God has blessed us with season tickets for seven years in a row now.

After the game we decided to go to a Japanese Steak House "UMI" in Starkvegas. I can't remember the last time that I went to a Japanese Steak House and I'm not sure if Honey has ever been but we both enjoyed it. The funny thing was there were three people sitting at the hibachi with food allergies and the waiter nor chef had any problem catering to each individual specific need.

The food and service were wonderful and I definitely will be returning in the near future.


You can look here for more gluten free travel reviews.

Look at my travel reviews!

If you have any reviews you can submit for a restaurant in Mississippi we sure would appreciate it. We're lacking for reviews in the Mississippi area and people we are known as the Hospitality state. What's wrong with that?

Thanks for stopping by see you soon.

I realized that I had a problem.

Yes, this is me and I haven't been blogging because I feel terrible.

After numerous headaches, feeling bad checking my blood pressure I realized that I had a problem. I called a local doctor but it took a week before he could see me. While waiting I tried to be a good girl, rest and keep a check on my pressure but it has gotten out of hand. When the doctor took it, it was 181 over something. The nurse never told me the bottom number she just took it several times and then had the doctor check it also.

They did a blood work up at the clinic and next Monday I am to go to the hospital for a Captopril Renal Scan, whatever that is. Due to my size and age the doctor is trying to get to the bottom of what is causing this.  For the time being he has given me a medicine that I will take temporarily until we know more.

Honey has some work to do on the farm so I will go with him over the weekend to take care of Punkin while her Dad and Mom are busy.

This does not mean that I will quit blogging I just have to get in the kitchen so I have something to blog. For sure I should have some photos of Punkin soon you don't want to miss that!

Stick with me friends I'm not forsaking you!

Upside Down Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

I love it when I can transpose one of Mary's recipes to be gluten free. Now for those of you who are not gluten free you can directly to Mary's website "Deep South Dish" and make her version. Lordy be if I didn't have to eat without gluten I'd weigh a ton because I think I'd make everything this girl has listed. Sometimes it pays to have to be on a special diet.

I have been wanting to try this for a while and now that my blood pressure is giving me problems I decided to make it really fast before my doctors appointment. Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to stop eating things like this for a while.

Upside Down Deep Dish Pizza Casserole
Posted at http://www.deepsouthdish.com/

8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tablespoon of canola oil
1 cup of chopped onion
1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
2-3 ounces of pepperoni, roughly chopped
1 pound of lean ground beef
1 (14 ounce) jar of pizza sauce
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of canola oil
2 eggs
1 cup of your favorite gf baking mix (I use Pamela's)
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch glass baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly on the bottom of the baking pan; set aside.

Heat the 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and cook the onion and bell pepper until soft, but not browned. Add the beef and cook until browned. Stir in the pepperoni and cook another 4 minutes; drain if needed. Stir in the pizza sauce and Italian seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the milk, oil and eggs. Add the flour and the salt to the milk mixture and whisk until well blended and smooth.

Carefully transfer the meat mixture evenly over the layer of mozzarella in the prepared pan. Pour the batter on top of the meat mixture, making sure to cover completely. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly on top.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Casserole with deflate and resemble an upside down deep dish pizza.

Serves about 6

Company and Gluten Free German Chocolate Bundt Cake

I recently put some finishing touches on my decorating and this is all folks. I don't like to spend a lot of money just a little bit every year.

We've had a fun day today, Honey's parents came for a brief visit and we were able to show them around town. After a trip through the Hills we went to guess where? YOU GUESSED IT "Crystal Grill" for lunch and they agreed with everyone else it was wonderful. Then we continued to tour downtown and Grand Blvd and we visited The Museum of the Mississippi Delta, which I think they really enjoyed. After our museum tour Dad was more than ready to return home, you know how Dad's are they can't be away from home long! :-)

Me and Momma Joyce with our military coats on. In case you don't know she was the Rebel!

 We didn't get a thing to drink!!!!
