I woke up Sunday morning to cook up a storm. I usually do this when a big storm is coming in but on Sunday I was just in the mood. First I put a deer roast in the crockpot with some seasonings, onions and celery. Within an hour the house smelled sooooooo gooooood!!!!
Crockpot ON!
Venison roast with onions and celery.
Then I decided to make “Beer Butt Chicken” without the beer and used Dr. Pepper instead. I oil the whole chicken, covered it a spice mix called “Kickin Chickin”, and stuffed the body cavity with pineapple tidbits.
Beer Butt Chicken with a twist.
So yummy!! I covered it with aluminum foil for the first 90 minutes and then removed the foil to let it turn golden brown and the juices were sealed in.
While that was cooking I whipped up a lettuce and pea salad, my favorite!
Lettuce, celery, and onions layered
Top with drained peas, mayo, shredded Colby cheese and real bacon bits. Yum! Let set overnight.
I made a jello/cottage cheese salad, hubby’s favorite.
Start with lime jello dissolved with one cup of water. Let cool. Add crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, cottage cheese and you got a great fruit salad.
I made a bowl of creamed macaroni for hubby and a bowl of mac & cheese for me.
Creamed macaroni and mac & cheese!
And last but not least I made a Triple Berry Cobbler.
Blackberries, blueberrie and raspberries glazed with some sugar and dumped into the quickest cobbler recipe you’ll ever use!! TOO DIE FOR!!
We will add some green beans, broccoli, veggie of the week and eat on this most of the week!
My God – what talents you have in the culinary sphere. Bloody mouth watering.
The chicken looks just so delicious – no beer, but looks like
Dr. Pepper (what is that?) does a pretty good job. I use lemon pepper and garlic granules quite liberally on steaks, lamb and pork chops etc.
Maybe as well as selling fresh free range eggs you should start up a lucrative “take-a-way” epicurean, country cooked food stall??
It is a wonder that your children ever left home – ha ha!

Julia Child is way to fancy for me!! I go for comfort food. Dr. Pepper is a version of Coca Cola but sweeter. I’m fortunate also in the fact that both of my children love to cook and are constantly sending me new ideas. I’m just a country cook that uses what she normally has on hand with no fuss! Makes cooking fun instead of a chore! Hubby is an excellent cook as well.
