Happy Independence Day

I am one of the most blessed people in this world to be able to live in a country of freedom, the good ol' United States of America. I am so thankful for all the liberties that I enjoy day in and day out. I am free to be me! We should thank all the men and women who have gone on before us that we are able to be free. Their sacrifice was the ultimate (their lives for us, and our freedoms). We should thank all the men and women who currently serve and who have served this great nation in all branches of the military. For all of you, I am thankful! It is because of you, that these colors still fly! Thank you!

We're totally on the same page

Okay, folks, I live in Hawaii. You know what that means, right? There is no Chick-Fil-A on this island. I just thought I would share my true feelings about the restaurant. This song makes me laugh my head off, but my husband thinks it's ridiculous. Clearly, he doesn't share my feelings, but I thought I would share it anyway.

*I don't own this video, thanks to youtube & singer, Tim Hawkins. Dude, you're hilarious.*

You know you're a chick from the South when...

Your top 5 movies are these:

This movie never, ever gets old! 

Total tear-jerker, but I LOVE OUISA!!!

Kathy Bates makes me laugh!!!

TOTAL chick flick

We all know that life is like a box of chocolates, right? How can you not help but love Forrest?

*I don't own these images, that all goes to Google.*

A little taste of Heaven in yo' mouth

I believe one of the best things I could ever receive would be a great recipe.  If you don't know how to cook, don't worry! If you've got a good recipe, you're good to go!  You can be Betty Crocker herself with a good recipe in hand.  Now, I, by no means, am Betty Crocker, but I sure love trying to be anyway! I am from the South, so, I love some good Southern food (actually, any food for that matter), but I would have to consider this recipe Southern, for sure.


Today after church, my husband & I went to our friends' home, and I was able to try a little taste of Heaven in my mouth! I am SO not kidding! Get this.........it was NOT even CHOCOLATE and I was lovin' every bite I ate.  If you don't know me, I am a choc-aholic! I'm telling you, just trust me & try this pie!  You will be the Queen of the Kitchen! People will be saying, "Betty? Betty Who?"

Impossible Amazing Fabulous Good Ol' Buttermilk Pie
