Rest In Peace Aunt Florence...

By -
I shared a few weeks ago about her and how we found out just after Christmas that she had stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.
I got my mom down for a lovely visit with this lady and asked all to pray that she would have enough time/strength for visits, and then go peacefully when it was time.
She passed away this weekend and I will be taking my Mom down for the funeral.

It will be a tribute to an amazing lady, who truly led a life of grace. She helped so MANY people, touched the lives of who she met - for the better and more.

She will be missed.

For those of you that don't know -- my Mom was only 4 years old when her mother died of cancer. Aunt Florence was more like a mother to her -- and a grandma to me.

A kind, funny woman with a great southern charm. She put everyone at ease instantly and made them feel like they had just come home.
Such an inspiration!

Thank you for your prayers....she is now back home and we will see her again.

Blessings-
Dannelle

Chili Dog Casserole

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
